The actual song is never disclosed to public.
Melody Guard's system has been analyzed by some of the industries premier UK and USA music law firms and approved as conclusive acceptable evidence of project ownership.
All these music law firms have a full working knowledge of their system including the technical procedures involved and are able to offer legal assistance in the case of a dispute.
Details of these law firms appear on the Melody Guard website.
The Melody Guard system is now patent approved in both the UK and the USA.
Melody Guard and its associates are working together to an hold and maintain an easy to access international register of musical projects and compositions solely as evidence of their existence As you will see from their website they process projects at a most affordable rate. Also all projects are registered with the library of congress (USA), UK copyright office and the MCPS-PRS via their publication.
We at Motagator consider that a system like this is long over due. Remember that it can cost thousands of dollars to recover your evidence from your relevant copyright office. At Melody Guard recovery is completely free, for life!

OK - this is a bit of a plug for Melody Guard and Motagator, but I do believe that this is a song copyright option that people here should know about, and the very modest return I’ll get should anyone use my affiliation code will help to keep Motagator running
Thanks
