      Hey Billy! No sir I don't, not yet at least. I have had a lot of people ask me about that actually but so far (in 4 years of writing/producing/releasing) I haven't seen the need for it for an artist unless they are somewhat known, as they are millions of artists out there and the likelihood of a song getting stolen is very very low unless they already have a sizable audience and/or absolutely incredible songs (that are worth stealing). That said, others might have differing opinions on that and some just enjoy the security in copyrighting their songs. Hope that helps!
