You might want to send it special delivery style
where you have to sign for it as well.

I don't think this proves any copyright, but it
is evidence that sets your work (the CD) to
a fixed date (that is postmarked on the envelope).

It's more a thing that when they go "prove it"
You present it to the courts and they can open it.

Still no proof that you created the original on the CD though.
