registering digital copyright material

[chant dhames]

I'd like to register some of my photographs and graphic art with the Registrar of Copyright but I'm not sure how to send the stuff in. The URL http://www.copyright.gov/register/visual.html lists the steps to do but it isn't very specific on digital work.

Basically do I send in a burned CD with all the images I want to register?
Or make prints of each image and register them seperately?
And if that's the case, do i pay the $45 registration fee for "each" image, or can I group them together?

Anyone dealt with this before?

group them together, place a small image of each on a CD.

Do it quarterly, and I thought it was only $30.

pritns are not necessary

It looks like it's $45.00 now. Will they take a DVD? Put several gazillion small files on there & that would take care of it for you.

Here is a short tutorial I put together that talks about sending in images to be registered:

You can skip the first half that is about convincing people to get their images registered. It sounds like you have been convinced. :D
