Wow, cool thread.

I was just about to happily join in and share something created a few years back but then asked myself, "what about copyrights?" What if your song is in a crude unpolished state currently but someone takes it away and does well with it? Most people would not have copyrighted their material at this point and stand to lose any hopes of dreams or ambitions for the future.

Am I just getting too frazzled over nothing? What are the implications? Open source is one state of mind but when it comes to music, unless it is a collaboration then maybe we're just setting ourselves in danger. There's no way that what I was about to share is theft worthy but it just got me thinking. What do you folks think?
