There are a great many "urban myths" surrounding copyright law but the two most popular are probably...

1) You have to put a copyright notice on a work to protect it (not since 1989)

2) If I don't charge money for it it's not an infringement. (yes it is)

A copyright protects original material (text, images, audio) recorded in a fixed format. There are two types of copyright, national and international. National copyright only protects original material produced within the country's borders. If your music was produced in the United States, then it is protected under US copyright laws, but not laws of other countries. International copyright, on the other hand, protects your music no matter where it was produced. A European artist can be protected by international copyright laws in the USA, for example.
