You'd better register it then if you think it DOES worth it.

Can people outside of America register with WGA or Library Of Congress? Does any one know of a European equivalent?

There's an Australian equivalent. It's called the AWG.

In France there is one too. But you can register with Library of Congress even if you leave outside USA.

I usually register my stuff with the library of congress. They seem to provide the same basic protection. Is there any advantages with WGA

You can register your script with both WGA and LoC no matter where in the world you live (as long as you cough of the bucks they're happy).

I'd only recommend registering it if you think (know) it's good and has potential. You are protecting the script from being "stolen" from you. If it's a total piece, don't waste the money. Post a few pages in here first and see what people have to say. If it's bad, there are many in here who can provide advice and help. I don't know, that's my advice in saving you $75 or so.

If you think it's worth writing, then it's worth stealing! Protect it! Registration with the LoC lasts longer than the WGA. It costs a few bucks more but it's worth it if you don't have to renew it every few years. Phil

Is The Cabin worth protecting? Worth dolling out $75 or so? Hmmm, I doubt it...highly doubt it!
