Registering with the U.S. Copyright Office is the difference between a lawsuit you can win and one you can't even file. Here's what to know.
Do I need to register with the U.S. Copyright Office?
Registration is a critical step to protecting yourself. Under current regulations you can't file a lawsuit unless you've registered with the Copyright Office first — and early registration can entitle you to a payout of up to $150,000 per infringement plus your legal fees.
When should I register?
Think of it like insurance on your work — the earlier, the better. You're only eligible for the $150,000-plus-attorney-fees protection if you register before your work is stolen or misused. Completion can take 3–9 months, so don't wait.
What about mailing my work to myself or other databases?
Those are not substitutes for registering with the U.S. Copyright Office. Some services only register in a private database — they don't give you the right to file lawsuits or the same financial benefits as a true USCO registration.
What will it cost?
You can protect your music, lyrics, videos, images and more in minutes for a discounted price of $25 per registration application.
