How to Register for a Copyright
Hi, I'm Nathan Boehme writer and film director with Expert Village. In this series it's all about copyrights. How do you register for a copyright? Let's break it down for a fraction. First make a copy of the material that you like to submit, then fill out the necessary form which you can download from the website at www.copyright.gov then make out a $45 check to the register of Copyrights. Slip them both into an envelope slap a stamp on it and send it off to the Library of Congress. The address is 101Independence Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20559-6000. As of this series we are still unable to submit our material online but very soon this will be an option as well. To check the status of this feature simple go to there website which again is www.copyright.gov, simple as that.
