Hi guys (yes another thread by me) AGAIN.

After reading a thread where Angry Bear got shafted over a short being done as a feature I thought I would protect my shorts and not the ones covering my Arse.

My next step now that I have merged 6-7 shorts (previous thread) is to get them copyrighted as one registration.

I recall reading a post on this some time back though cant find it now, Where is the best place/website to register a PDF for protection???
I dont think I will go to the WGA and I feel a copyright will cover the protection I require.

I noticed I can register this for copyright in Australia which covers 164 countries and costs $49 AU. Is this any different to the US registration ? and do you have to be a resident of the US to use that service ?

Just thought I would ask you guys that are in the Know.

Regards Alex

Hey, Alex.

A few months back, I was looking through that same Australian copyright website but it looked a little dodgy and because it's not associated with any section of the Government, I'd suggest not using it. The LOC accepts all countries as far as I know and I think it lets you merge shorts as well? Good luck with it.

Thanks nawazm11,

I am new to this so want to make sure I go down the right path and dont stuff up.

I assume this is the site :-  ????????
https://eco.copyright.gov/eService_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=eco.copyright.gov

So how does it work ? I assume you become a registered member and can then submit work ?
Any idea what the cost for submitting a PDF file is with multiple shorts ?

Regards Alex
