The idea that mailing something to yourself is copyright protection is false. It does not stand up in court. A posting time/date on a message board certainly won't either. The
only way to legally defend against copyright infringement is to register the work with the copyright office
before the infringement takes place. It does no good to register after someone steals your idea and/or registers it as their own.
