Registration ©ounts!
[by Susan Carr]
The copyright office tells us that only 5% of photographers register their images. ASMP wants to change that and this week at Photo Plus Expo ASMP will launch a new initiative called Registration ©ounts to create awareness of copyright issues, to encourage all photographers to register their work, and to provide the tools and information needed for registration.
Representatives from the copyright office will be at the ASMP booth (#478) to answer your registration questions. ASMP now offers recommended best practices for registering your work and a workshop to help photographers get registered.
ASMP has designated the week of April 19-23, 2010 to highlight the issue of copyright and will lead a number of activities and events for photographers and other visual artists. On Wednesday, April 21st, ASMP will host a symposium entitled The Current State of Copyright from an Artist’s Perspective to explore views on significant issues, challenges and trends in copyright. Experts from leading organizations including Columbia University, PLUS and Public Knowledge will participate.
Join with ASMP to create a powerful voice for the defense of copyright law.

I just went through the process (hopefully correctly!!!) online with copyrighting my unpublished work for the past three years. It’s gut wrenching to say the least since you aren’t exactly sure you are doing it right the way its set up. But I think I got it. Wouldn’t it be nice to make a photoshop or lightroom plug-in to stream it right along?
