I write poetry, and sometimes I want to post it on a forum and share it, or email it to a friend, etc. I am really really nervous about doing something like that, though, as I worked hard on my material and would be devastated if someone stole my work. I was thinking of sending it to myself and not opening the envelope before I did anything, so I can use that as 'copyright proof,' because copyrighting it officially takes so long, but even so, if someone claimed the work as their own somewhere on the net there's a chance I wouldn't find out. Am I being overtly cautious? Would you share your poems online? And would sending my poems to myself first be a reasonable precaution, or is that not good enough? Thanks.
