Maybe I should have an easier-going attitude about this. I don't.

You can save your "nice appraoch" untill after you copyright your songs... It only costs $20.oo per CD(in America), and this is the only real protection you have. PERIOD! All of the 'implied' copyrights are loophole ready, AND, if your recording has 'enhancements', the recording engineer can claim certain copyright remunerations...have them sign off on the recording.
Protect yourself. Then be generous. ttr
