OK, I see. My feeling has been that copyright protects me now, and I would only put a song out in my BMI catalog when it's actually time to publish it -- that is, when it's going out to market, will be available for sale, and/or place-able in media.

If a song is still in play, still looking for a publisher or recording, or needing better demos, etc., then I didn't see any reason to put it in a catalog.

I only have two songs actually "published" -- one is on a CD by a Renn Faire act, co-published with the artists; and the other has been recorded for a single release either late this year or early next year, also co-published with the artist.
