If you intend to release a piece of work into public domain, then you need to state this publicly and with a certain wording as defined by the copyright law.There are still peer to peer networks sharing music, just not napster, the sales of really good records are skyrocketing.

The copyright protection for books is much easier to understand and enforce, then the copyright laws regulating music and movies. You either own the book which is the official release, or you have a counterfeit. With music and films, that is not easy.In the USA a proper copyright release form has to encompass the owner of the copyright, the designated licensee of the copyright, the conditions of the licensing with all the limitations and the exact name and definition of the copyrighted work that is the subject of this release form.
