copyright insurance for artists
I noticed there wasn't anything posted about what to do when you finally get your creation ready for publication and are waiting on the registered copyright papers to appear at your door. Many years ago when the earth was still cooling a copyright attorney suggested I take the entire body of work, package it nice and solid, and send it to myself via registered mail Then when it arrives. do not under any circumstances open the package. Actually leave it forever if you can. Because what you have is a valid government parcel complete with dates, official stamps, and valid signatures that prove beyond a doubt it's your work. According to her it would hold up in any court on the planet.
I did that. Still have it. So far haven't needed it. And yes my work is registered through the US copyright office in Washington DC.
Not taking any chances here.
