This is interesting it looks as if the time spent submitting your photos for copyright has been cut down significantly. http://freestar.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=efe99aaf601ee86dc8e0e3dba&id=b6c55f2d1b&e=39ecf2aef0 I have found that doing a batch of photos at one time is worth it. I know many say why bother but if you find that someone or some company has taken and used your photo from facebook or many other social media sites you will have a good chance at getting reimbursed for your photo through courts many times a company will want to settle so there is little exposure on what they did. Without the copyright you will end up spending so much fighting in court it is not worth what you would get in compensation even though technically you own the copyright the second your camera records the image.

Good to know. Yes, registering a copyright is very important if you really want to safeguard your images.

It is kind of like having insurance that hopefully you may never need to use but if you ever need it then it is the best insurance you can have. Most of us do not worry about photo theft but it is happening on social media so much that for the cost of registering a large batch for copyright is well worth it.
