A great read, and without question, a timely, noteworthy subject matter.
A fairly common misconception on the topic, is that the work must be registered with both The US Copyright Office and The Library of Congress. Not so, at the basic / fundamental level, (The Author – Originator) of the material owns it, in printed or electronic form the minute it’s complete.
Whether the work has been ” Officially” registered or not.
Foregoing a lengthy dissertation on ” Public Domain,” which amounts to nothing more than a defense tactic; commonly used by those in violation.
My thoughts on the subject are simple, ” Ignorance of the Law is not an excuse.”

I must not, but while you are at it… Besides, LoC requires a copy of the printed edition to be registered. You get back nice feeling when you get the certificate home 🙂

This is also part of the general misunderstanding “Not so, at the basic / fundamental level, (The Author – Originator) of the material owns it, in printed or electronic form the minute it’s complete” making authors sending emails or a copy of the manuscript to self believing that constitute “proof.”
Good luck with using those “evidences” in court 🙂
