Copyrighting by mailing yourself?

Asked by mithical (289points) September 1st, 2011

I was reading over some posts on a site I frequent and kept coming up with a discussion about the possibility of copyrighting a piece of work or content by mailing it to yourself.

It said something about the “official” government seal that post offices use can help to verify that you indeed own copyrights to whatever works you mailed yourself in case one day it may be stolen.

Can someone elaborate on this?
