Copyright for your own work:

• Copyright exists as soon as you create a piece of original work, as long as it has been written down or recorded in some way.
• Although copyright is automatic for original work, you may wish to record the formal date when you created the work (to use in legal arguments if required). You can do this by sending a recording or a copy to yourself by registered post and leaving the envelope unopened in a safe place.
