Good one. I just watched the video and posted about it in the Main section - without the link.

If anyone here really wants to Copyright and Register their images here is a link to a couple of videos from the US Copyright office on how to do it for both published and unpublished images.
https://www.copyright.gov/registration/photographs/index.html
And there is no mention of the necessity to put any Copyright information in the meta-data. But in order to get compensation I believe it is required to submit them to the Copyright office before you can sue the Copyright infringer.
I love Steve Perry's videos and helpful information but in this video he did mention that he DOES NOT Copyright his images.

To clarify, in the US, your creative work is protected by copyright the moment you click the shutter. Registration is optional. However, registration gives you a much stronger legal position if it comes to it. As of now, I don't register my images - however - after doing some research I may start. $55 for 750 pics doesn't seem unreasonable.

I wholeheartedly agree that for your images it is well worth it to register them. And I am not an expert by any means but I believe your damages are limited if you do not register them in a timely manner. Also as you would be registering Published images you can easily publish any and all of the images you want to protect on your website. The 750 images in the group must all be published or all be unpublished. I believe the rule is if it is on a website and available to the public it is considered published.
And thank you for your helpful videos!

It's funny, when I was reading through the info I was trying to decide what constituted "published" - and I think you're correct. I was going to call and see when I get a chance. Thanks!
