Call me paranoid, but I have to ask:

If I post an original song on this forum does Guitarnoise have rights to it?

The only reason I bring this up is that I was invited to host a forum several years ago and was sent a contract telling me that all of my posts were property of (I believe Ivillage though I can't really recall). Just so happened that I was a legal assistant in patent and copyright law and the attornies hands down advised me against it.

I would love to share some of my song ideas, but it worries me, and I don't particularly want to go through the trouble of copyrighting rough drafts.

Secondly, if someone were to take a song as their own (another member), wouldn't it be terribly difficult to pursue litigation?

I assume others have thought about this and would love to get your analysis of the situation

Thanks

Lauramath

They are all yours.

We don't lay claim to any of your lyrics.

For more on copyright in general, I did a lot of research for this post:
