In the US, section 115 of the law requires that once a recording of a "nondramatic musical work" has been released, anyone else wishing to distribute a recording of it must be given a license at a statutory rate. This provision is not commonly used, as both rightsholders and users prefer negotiated licenses.

Commonly "poor man's copyright" refers to sending a copy of your work to yourself by registered mail. Theoretically this establishes a date of completion (assuming the Postal service is a "trusted source") Bear in mind however that there is no provision in copyright law regarding any such type of protection.
