Poor Man's Copyright:

Burn your song (s) on a CD.

Stick the CD in an envelope.

Mail the envelope to yourself.

Don't open it.

There, it's copyrighted.

Seriously.

works in Michigan, and unless you're serious about publishing your music, it isn't necessarily worth spending the money to do the real deal. look into it a bit.

HA. I'm from Canada, we're legal at 19

but I'm living in the States now. I get ID'd a lot 'cause I look younger than I am. more like 17

so I was gonna buy a new guitar today but I chickened out. I found out that I owed a large amount of money in student loan payments, so I figured I'd best get that taken care of first. did I do the right thing? a part of me thinks I'm an idiot.

when faced with large decisions like that, i use the "10 year" rule...

in 10 years, will you be glad that you bought that guitar?

or in 10 years will you be glad that you paid off your student loans a couple months earlier.

it's only money, after all.

go dores.

i agree w/ rin, you only live once...and you get that entire lifetime to pay off your debts and make lots of new ones.
