" I have several songs copyrighted. I think that it was a waste of money" - Marty.

Yes, definitely a waste of money. Keep in mind, a music copyright is effective when the music is set to manuscript or recorded. That said, to enter into an infringement settlement you'll need a Library of Congress" official copyright. Which you can obtain before the trial. Unless your song has generated $50,000 or more, forget it.
