How To Copyright Photos - Tips & Tricks - Scott Davenport Vlog #005

Big caveat: I am not a lawyer. In this video I share the registration process that works for me.

After my first vlog, I got a lot of questions about copyright registration. In this video, I share my registration process and several tips to streamline the registration process. This video is specific to the US Copyright office since that is the nation where I register my photos. You can create an account with the copyright office at eco.copyright.gov.

I use Pixsy to help me find infringements and get legal cases resolves. pixsy.com

1. Grouping photos for registration (2:08)

3. Tips and tricks for the registration application (10:50)
