thanks Red. 


Trying to figure out how the unpublished work thing works, I read somewhere that you have to release your work within 3 months of registering and unpublished work, to get the full protection benefits. 


Trying to figure out a logical step by step roadmap for registering unpublished work, working with producer, then releasing the song and registering the copyright of the master. And then I have to reregister the lyrics and melody again for the published work? Still trying to figure all this out.
