> It is It is not, as explained by your own link. You should read your own link. Registering makes it enormously easier and nearly everyone will register prior to bringing a suit, but it is absolutely not required -- again, as your link clearly explains. Furthermore, your point is academic because what people do in practice is simply register just prior to bringing a suit (after the infringement takes place) > Service providers don't take things down in the absence of any proof of a copyright. Yes they do - in fact the DMCA requires them to do so. > You have unlimited time to register. It's not 5 years. You just need to register prior to bringing a suit. The 5 years matters, but yes, this is why your point about registering is entirely without merit. |

Oh so you're making a point about the narrow exceptions that generally don't apply? I'm not going to engage in a bad faith conversation like this. If you are suing over a US work, the only way to bring suit is to have a registration, been refused a registration, or, as you seem to think is an incredibly important distinction, is a VARA work. Do you litigate copyrights? Where exactly are you coming from on this?
>Yes they do - in fact the DMCA requires them to do so.
No, they wont in the absence proof of ownership of a work which is conventionally reflected in a registered copyright.
>The 5 years matters, but yes, this is why your point about registering is entirely without merit.
No, it doesn't.
