January 22, 2010, Newsletter Issue #155: United States Copyright Office

Tip of the Week

Part of the Library of Congress, the United States Copyright Office offers the writer the “legal formality” (as the department's website says) of copyright registration. As Brooke A. Wharton advises, in The Writer Got Screwed (but didn't have to), without this registration, you cannot sue for copyright infringement.

The Copyright Office's website can answer your copyright registration questions.
