Why register copyright?
Many creative individuals think that copyright registration can be postponed to any time in the future. What they don't realise is, that any unscrupulous person could register their work and claim to be the creator of it. How would you feel if somebody took your songs or other artistic work and registered it in their name? Don't let it happen to you.
Why is independent third-party proof of copyright so important?
Independent third-party proof of copyright means that in the case of infringement it will be easier to prove ownership of copyright. Any proof of copyright kept in your own possession will be less convincing than objective, third-party proof.
When you register your work through Copyright House, this is exactly what you get. In addition to this, your files can be retrieved in their original form, exactly as they were uploaded by you, and presented in court if necessary.
Each copyright registration certificate you receive will contain a unique registration ID, security code, the exact file name, size and an exact date/time stamp for every new registered work, as well as for every update. This certificate can also be presented in court.
In the case of infringement you will need to prove that you were the owner of your intellectual property on the date claimed. We can provide proof of this in the form of an affidavit, which we will then send to the court or a solicitor of your choice. Copyright House will pay for these costs.
Jan Luteyn, Managing Director Copyright House.
Don't wait until it's too late
From time to time we get phone calls from songwriters and other creative individuals whose work has been copied, resampled or published by someone else, asking us for help. We would of course love to help prove ownership of their songs, literature or artwork, but are unable to do so. In order to do this, the work has to be registered in advance. We can only advise them to register all their music, lyrics, books, designs, web designs, web content, or artwork without delay and never perform, publish or display new works before having registered their copyright.
Do you usually send your works to yourself?
This method is known as poor man's copyright. Many of us have sent envelopes containing music CDs, lyrics, books, designs etc. addressed to ourselves through the post, but this is not a reliable means of proof of copyright. It's easy to forge this system by adding new works at a later date or tampering with the date stamp. Therefore this method is unlikely to stand up in court.
"I am so pleased to have found Copyright House, and although a lot of my work was done years ago, at least now I have peace of mind knowing
that my work is safe and my rights protected. It is a sound financial investment, because it is not just about the here and now, it is about
your peace of mind for the future too. Ideas are dynamic, what is relevant for tomorrow may not be relevant for today.Plus, I am grateful for the time, help and guidance which Copyright House has provided."
Frédérique Patterson, Author, Poet, Chiswick.

I joined Copyright House because it is very clear and concise and laid out nicely making it easy to understand and simple to join. That's what I like!
Also the fees are reasonable and one gets a good package which equals value for money and the fact that one can simply re-new the package for a set fee, without any upheaval is great!
Tara Della Hopley, Writer, Shropshire.
It seemed to go very well and easy. My first 40 files uploaded and certificates received. I'm a HAPPY man! Thank you.

In the unlikely event that Copyright House stops trading, then a set of procedures will be followed to honour the subscriptions. However, this is very unlikely, as we have kept our overhead costs low and don't take out loans or incur other financial risks.
We would hand over our activities to another reliable company, who would have to sign an agreement that continued proof of copyright of the registered works will be ensured.
Copyright House is in fact doing extremely well. This is because we keep our prices low and we always do our best to give good service and support to our clients, thus ensuring continuation of Copyright House.
