Quote - Registering probably isn't worth it.   Costs about $50, requires quite a bit of documentation, and doesn't give you anything special.    Pirates aren't going to be slowed down by a registration.

It's worthwhile for the big music and movie companies who may make millions from a product, and want maximum documentation to run a major lawsuit.  At our level, not remotely cost-effective.

I was thinking about this too. I am getting burdened with the research and legal mumbo jumbo as of now.

I am also going to be partnering with other people by combining my story with their stories in the future that's why I am thinking about registering to avoid problems. If my work gets pirated, I dont care actually. I will like the free marketing.

Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks angry, give it some love!
