>b) be able to prove that you actually copyrighted the item on a certain

document/music with the words "Copyright (C) 2003 by John E. Doe. All

postmark and cancelled stamp on it, which is >accepted in court as proof of
date, should legal action be required at some point.
This is however no real evidence that the music/text in the envelope is
yours, just that you had access to it at a certain date (which probably will
be enough, unless someone else have heard your track in progress and stolen
parts of it before your track was finnished.)
