Yes to be quite honest it is. It does not hold up in Federal Court - where it counts. It is not a recognized legal way to copyright your music. The best way to copyright your songs is to use the Library of Congress. You can put more than one song on a CD as a collection and use one form for one price of $30
You can copyright the songs themselves using a PA form or the recording itself using an SR. PA is more recommended for the composition as a whole. http://www.loc.gov
