· Do I have to register wit the copyright office to be protected?
o Usually voluntary
o Copyright exists from moment idea is created
o Useful in court to prove copyright infringement
· Why should I register my work if copyright protection is automatic?
o Recommended for some reasons:
§ Ppl like to have documentation and have it in public record
§ If registered, they may be eligible for monetary settlements in court
§ If copyright is registered within 5 years, it is evidence that can decide a case in court regarding copyright infringement.
