Copyright images with Library of Congress?

5 years 2 months ago #628034 by One Wish
At what point are you copyrighting photos with the Library of Congress? Are these just photos that you are selling as prints?  Or are you doing all the photos you are uploading for sale to stock photo sites as well? 

The photos that I offer for print are much smaller in numbers and would likely be much easier vs the thousands that I upload to stock sites.

You need to go to copyright.gov and start reading, me thinks.

Print vs. stock is irrelevant. Misuse is what matters, in any form.

Also, changes to the registration process limit the number of images you can register in a single group, per application.

Also: one does not "copyright" photos with the LoC, one registers one's copyright. Copyright is inherent in the creation of a thing.

You upload thousands of images? All keyworded with useful information? All of good quality? How do you find the time?

Look at it as insurance.  You have insurance with the thought that one day, you'll be covered if you need it.  Same applies here.
