For those people making big money from writing and performing songs, who may ever get accused of stealing someone else's stuff and end up in a lawsuit...they will need dated documents.

Even if the person who was accusing them of stealing, is the actual thief, who stole the song from the defendent...if the thief has dated registration documents showing the first occurrence of any part of the song...they will be hard to beat.

"I remember clearly writing these lyrics days before my wife's birthday in 2021, and I have 5 mullets that will say I played them at her birthday party" ...won't be a dated registration.
