--As of June 17, 2011 5:02:09 PM -0500, Robert Bonomi is alleged to have said: > 4) In the U.S., one can officially register copyright on something up to > SIX MONTHS _after_ first 'publication'. --As for the rest, it is mine. Actually, you can register it at any time after it has been created, until the copyright period ends. (Even before it's been published.) Though you get certain benefits if you register within five years of it's creation. Also note that to file a _copyright suit_ your work has to be registered. But this registration can occur _after_ the infringement. (Although if it's done beforehand you'll have an easier time with your case, and some extra legal options.)
