How to Get a Copyright Application
Hi, I'm Nathan Boehme writer and film director with Expert Village. In this series it's all about copyrights. Where can you get the official copyright application? Right this way. Log on to your browser and type in www.copyright.gov into the address bar. Once you are there look for the button labeled forms at the top of the screen along the red menu bar, click on it. Scroll down the screen until you see the form that best fits the work that you want to register. Then simply click and print. You are going to need the latest version of abode acrobat reader if you want to download the forms at home or you can stop by there office or call the copyright hotline at 202-707-9100. If you don't want to do either of these things and you don't have the necessary software at home you can stop by your public library most of them have computers and the necessary software that you can print out the information for you.
