Hi Lisa! I saw your post elsewhere ... the government has a copyright office you can find out about online (search WTR for it b/c there are already discussions on this same topic). I am going to send in some of my own songs as soon as I get around to it - you can send a whole CD project if you want and it's one flat price. But if you just want to post on ccli, they do not require that your song is copyrighted before you post there - their instructions are listed on www.ccli.com)
