Copyright Registration In Tupelo, MS

Copyright prevents others from buying an author’s book, making copies, and then selling it to their customers.

Not only do consumers buy books; they buy the intellectual property of the author: the plot, the characters and the setting but they cannot reproduce it for their financial gain. Copyright forbids copying someone else’s work, it does nothing to hinder the co-creation of a book at the same time. If someone wrote a book exactly like yours, you will have very little say in it unless you have copyrighted your work. According to general copyright law, if at the same time, two people come up with the same idea completely unaware of each other, then both would have equal copyright claims.

You must sign the copyright in order to get the full value of a book’s copyright. Registration provides constructive notice and it is very important to have such notice. Constructive notice allows you to claim your copyright to anyone from the registration date forward; although copyright also forbids others from copying your work.

Fair Park Publishing can help guide you through the process of copyrighting your own work without having to spend hours figuring out everything yourself
