Copyright protection only costs $35

August 24, 2010

Copyright protection for your songs, photos, poems and other creative work is not expensive – it only costs $35 to register online with the US Copyright Office.  And to make the deal even sweeter… it’s possible to register multiple pieces at once.

How do you do this?  The first step to registering multiple pieces is to have them organized in a way that will allow you to upload them quickly and easily to the US Copyright office website when you are completing the electronic copyright registration form online.  Basically, the $35 buys you one hour of time to upload your work.  One hour should be plenty of time to upload a collection of songs or a series of photographs.  If you prepare properly, it’s possible to upload over 2,000 photographs within the hour… which is less than 2¢ a picture.

It’s a good idea to watch the tutorial provided by the US Copyright Office on how to complete the online registration process (eCO Tutorial) before you start your registration.
