USA residents are advised to register through the US Copyright Office

Important information for USA residents only

USA residents are advised to register their work through the U.S. Copyright Office, rather than through Copyright House.

The reason for this, is that once your work is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, it is possible to recoup legal costs and statutory damages incurred due to copyright infringement. Works should be registered within three months of publication, or three months before an infringement.

The cost for registering your work with the US Copyright Office is currently $35 per registration.
