Assignment

Part 1: Prepare to Register Your Discussion Post

Copyright registration of creative works require the registrant to supply information about the authorship and scope of the registration.

The registration form is designed to tell the Copyright Office the story of the work being registered -who created it, who owns it now, what's included and what's excluded from the claim, and whether the work has been made available to the public for sale, license or other distribution.

In this part, you'll address the following questions to tell the registration story of YOUR licensing presentation prepared for the week 4 discussion board.

3 Challenges to Address:

Go to "copyright" website Choose the appropriate paper form (scroll down the page and look for Form TX or Form PA) OR start an account with the Copyright Office to practice with the online registration system.

Using the paper form or the online eCO system, complete the registration (stopping short of actually filing it for a fee).

Take screen snaps of the completed registration information to show me your work. If you use the online system, the Review screen must be included so I can check the content of your registration; in other words, I want to see all the content you entered, not just a final screen showing you are ready to pay. Individual shots of each of the data entry pages are also acceptable.
