The cost of postage.
If all you need is to prove that you created a song at a certain time, then record the song to a hard copy (CD, tape, whatever), and send it to yourself registered mail. Don't open it.
Then, when the court case comes along where you prove that somebody stole your song, you bring that in as evidence: "See! I DID make this song before those guys."
Anyway, why are you so worried about owning a song? Songs are there to be sung and influence other people. You should be happy if people copy your music. That's how music works. If everybody was uptight about owning music, then there would be no good music. "Uh-oh. This sounds too much like Dorkus' music. We might get sued. Better just stop the rehearsal for today."

You can call a 800 number just look up copyrights in Washington = you can make a tape of as many songs that you want and then it will cost a small fee

It used to be $10 but that was 20 years ago. It's so much better to to copyright several songs at one time and then it's just one charge for all of them.
