Combine Legal Virginia Copyright Forms For Free

Copyright Practice Tip A book series of unpublished books can be registered on one application, the Group of Unpublished Works application. If the books have been published, each book must be registered with its own application, either the Standard or the Single application.

You may register up to ten unpublished works by (1) completing the online application for a "Group of Unpublished Works", (2) paying the nonrefundable filing fee, and (3) uploading a separate digital copy of each work in a separate electronic file.

The copyright claimant for each photograph must be the same person or organization. The applicant must provide a title for the group. The applicant must provide a sequentially numbered list containing a title, file name, and month/year of publication for each photograph in the group.

The Copyright Office has established a group registration option that allows you to register up to ten unpublished works with one application and one filing fee. To be eligible for a group registration of unpublished works, the following conditions must be met: All works must be unpublished.

So the answer to the question "Can I get a copyright for free?" is yes. In fact, obtaining copyright is automatic, and your copyright over your work arises from the moment your original work is expressed in a permanent medium.
