Cheers guys.. You will probably see more of me, I've never been on any type of forum before but this is really interesting.
I was told once whilst doing a scriptwriting course that an easy and cheap way of copywriting scripts etc was to send it to yourself by registered/recorded post. And don't open it, the date will be on the postmark... If you do need to open it because of suspected copying do it in the presence of a police officer...
But songwriters could come up with songs on a more regular basis than a scriptwriter so could cost as fortune. I have writen a song and I think the lyrics are Excellant. I havn't gone back to it for a while but when I do I will let you know(especially when I learn more about copying)...
I have grown up around thge entertainment industry, A friend of my dad's claims he wrote the theme song for a well known television programme, but someone got hold of it changed one word and he got nothing, and no proof...
I wouldnt doubt him, he is one of the biggest names in couyntry music (british) and has written many quality songs.
Any way thanks for resonding and please if anyone knows more (even administrators) let us know......
Bert
