        Only the Library of Congress can issue a copyright. You might be offering a registration service like the WGA but it's misguiding to call it a copyright...unless you are registering the script through the Library of Congress for the writer.

        Brits!

            HEY!!! I'll have you know that we Brits invented copyright . . . or am I thinking of tennis?

            Seriously though, I don't think copyrighting your work depends on registering it with the Library of Congress.

              You're right, your work is copywritten the moment you write it. The problem is, if you ever need to prove it in a court of law, you better have it registered with the copyright office to establish date.

                The copyright certificate of ownership that congress issues is presumptive evidence that you own the copyright in the work. It's essential to have this before you file a lawsuit.

                As you know, you have copyright already, it's arises automatically.

                Hollywood Script Express appear to be providing a digital stamp.

                The WGA has a similar scheme. You'd have to compare the two.

                As I understand it -- some writers register with the WGA, or similar, because unlike the Copyright Office, the document is not available to read by the public.

                It's effectively a half way house -- they then choose to undertake full registration at a later date when they are ready to publish.

                WGA reg. is also useful for treatments, story ideas, and other materials that are not normally eligible for copyright protection.

                Brits and Yanks !

                    You're wrong because this was all before we invented copyright. The English and Scots came up with the notion of Americans but the Irish and Italians stole the idea.

                      And nobody wishes to mention the Dutch (who founded what we know as NYC), the Swedish, the French and the Spanish?

                      Also, don't let's forget to say "thank you" to the Vikings who actually discovered America!

                      Let's say, the Europeans came up with the notion of Americans... Looking at what Europe has turned into by now, one'd feel more than happy about calling North America "the New Europe" (along the lines of NYC, et al)...
