With the legal situations as they are, most PRO's, publishers, writers, artists, etc. rarely are able to open packages from people they don't know. We are frankly surprised there hasn't been some crazy person angry because his songs are not cut, to send some anthrax or some other substance. It is a weird world out there - Marc

That's another concern; all packages going into the Washington D.C. area are subjected to irradiation machines.

I've had one CD returned to me from the Copyright Office that stated the CD was damaged by one of these machines. I was told to encase my CD in heavy cardboard if I send more through the mail. Better to use the online process.

Another point; I can't help but wonder how the Copyright Office knew my CD was damaged. I doubt that they listen to every CD sent to them. Which leads to another quandary; how do you know your CD's at the Copyright Office aren't damaged?

I can envision going into a copyright infringement court only to find your CD is blank.

Best, John


Stop analyzing; just compose the damn thing!
