If it's original material and the songs are recorded you can send yourself a CD in the post and keep it unopened. I believe that's the simplest way of proving ownership of a song. I'm sure there's other ways which require more paper work, publishing deals etc.

If you're serious about management a good book to get is

Hope this helps.

in my experience (i've probably bought more than 300 jiffy bags in the past year) there's not much to worry about. just do some google etc searches to check there isn't a band with the same name.

what is the band?

On songs there are 2 copyrights. One is for the song writers - which is either owned by the song writers themselves (or if they have signed a deal) a publishing company. The other copyright is for the recorded work which is owned by whoever paid for the studio.
