For someone who tries to make a living out of music, its not a question of choice.
It is absolutely necessary.

@Petri So what exactly are you saying? It is worth it or its not worth it to copyright?

This shows exactly the reason why I chose to give my music away for free 6 years ago.
This way I can keep my sentences short and not mess money with my music.
My misguided trip that was 2 years long to the world of copyrighted music was mistake,
and I regret it. From this day on, all my compositions belong to the world,
my CC licenses today deny only the commercial distribution, but this license
tempts me the most http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/

It is commonly known fact in the world of electronic music,
that if the "big" producers want your work to be used under their projects,
they take it, they pay the lawyers afterwards.

Dont know if these things are true;

but there are many cases in the world of music in which "if your product is good, we take it and pay you afterwards, maybe not"-attitude is shown.
