Easy copyright registrations?

Posted by Dirk Avery at 2:40 pm under Copyright.

On Jan. 24, I applied to become a beta tester for the new electronic Copyright Office (eCO) system. Will eCO be a fun, easy way to register copyrights? We will soon know. Today I was inducted into the exclusive ranks of testers. I can now file online and electronically deposit copies of works. eCO only accepts basic registrations “including (a) any single work or (b) a collection of unpublished works by the same author and owned by the same claimant, or (c) multiple published works contained in the same unit of publication and owned by the same claimant (Examples. A compact disk containing 10 songs; a book of poems).”

I’m off to file a registration! More later on how it goes.
