I concur with the above.

Even though I'm very critical of my writing efforts I'm pleased with the songs/lyrics I've written and I've never copyrighted anything.
I don't take myself that seriously and have no illusions about my place in the music world.

From my perspective, to think someone would actually rip off one of my songs from soundclick is nothing short of delusional.
If anything of mine was stolen (so to speak) they'd be better served by taking a Pop Songwriting For Mass appeal course.
As stated, if it would occur our efforts can be digitally proven/verified anyway.
Ohhh....the litigation that would follow. smile

That's my take on it...
