Are my tracks covered against theft when they are uploaded onto the net?

yeah
cause technically youve "published" them
but then you just have to prove you made em (the original song file).
I mean, they technically are safe... but im sure there is loopholes and legalities... that if someone had a good lawyer... could take your songs somehow
*shrug*

i think most hosting sites, like zebox and such, place legality messages on their sites protecting your works.
i don't know how it is in the UK, but in the US, copyright is AUTOMATIC the moment you put something in a fixed or tangible form. (on some sort of physical medium)
just make a disc of things, mail it to yourself so it will be postmarked, so if anyone DOES want to steal your music, you can whip that out and use it as evidence.

that doesnt always work either
bottom line... if you REALLY want to be safe... pay for the official copyright. its the only 100% method
but I do think youll be ok (not downplaying your music... I just dont think people would steal it, and try to release it... I mean, how many times do you hear about that happening?

Oh yes it is the same here but the posting to yourself thing is a myth it really is, take it to a bank or a solicitor but i'm sure that being able to prove having written it with the song file will be good enough.

come to think of it, Baron Von Ugly and Daily Dose of Cancer were published - i should get around to copyrighting them VERY soon.

Who ever has the most money wins. It's crap but the 'truth' whatever side of the Atlantic you are on.

What you're referring to is called 'poor man's copyright'. It's complete bollocks.
Day 1: send yourself an unsealed envelope Day 10: Band X release a new CD Day 11: buy CD, put it in envelope, seal envelope Day 12: claim copyright over the CD, after all, you claimed copyright 9 days before it was released!
