I did one of these "digital fingerprint services" a few years ago... I forget the name... but I actually did pay a fee, I think about 40 bucks. Being quick and easier than doing the formal copyright thing.

I would register songs and they would remain in their repository.
Everytime I checked, they were still there .... About a year went by. ... I didn't write any songs ... no creativity... but decided to "look at the songs in my vault".

The site didn't exist anymore. I would be very skeptical about any of these services. I don't think they want to steal anyones music. Maybe it just wasn't as profitable as they would have liked, so they just shut the site down.


Think i am gonna just do it the "old fashioned way" from now on.


Also I might mention that if you belong to a songwriting club, you can play your song for them, and give them a sheet with your song written on it and ask them to critique your song, make comments on the sheet, and sign and date it and give it back to you. That would also be a good matter of record which would cost you nothing.
