Copyrighting is an important term that musicians and songwriters should get used to from the start. While you cannot copyright an idea, you can most definitely copyright a song. You want to copyright the composition and lyrics as soon as they are written. While a song has a copyright the very moment you write it, you need to make that copyright legal. By protecting your art, you are protecting yourself from others who may take liberties and "borrow" your art and heart.
