1. Make a recording of the song and burn it to CD. This can be as simple as you singing while playing the chords on guitar and piano. You don't need a full recording of the song as the song itself consists of melody, chords and lyrics and any key riffs or hooks - anything else is just extras to add to the arrangement.

2. Write down the lyrics.

3. Put the CD and lyrics in an envelope and send it back to yourself by recorded delivery mail.

4. When it arrives DO NOT OPEN IT! The fact that you had to sign for it means there is a record of when it was delivered. This proves when you copyrighted the song. If you open the envelope you could technically have added the CD/lyrics after the date of delivery and so it voids the whole idea of it.

It's as simple as that! So won't cost too much. You are actually protected by copyright the moment you write something but you have to have a way of proving it's yours and when you wrote it. This is how to do that.

If you copyright 10 songs as a collection are they all protected individually - if not why is that bad?

If you copyright 10 songs as a collection, they are not individually protected. This means that if someone were to use one of the songs from the collection without permission, you would have to prove that the entire collection was copied rather than just the individual song. This can be problematic as it requires more evidence and potentially makes the legal process more complicated.
