United States Copyright Office. It’s $45–65 for peace of mind and proof in court. WGA registration? Good for extra receipts and time-stamping, but U.S. Copyright holds the legal muscle.You can also send a copy of your work(s) to yourself via registered mail. However, don’t open the envelope and keep the delivery receipt. I need this refresher from this gift of information,
This is really good information to remember to embed in our practice of safeguarding our works (IP). I really liked the, “Develop a brand voice and signature—maybe it’s your production company name, a visual style, or the themes you always bring.” This is so very true. Also, I had never thought about adding clauses to contracts to say, “This work cannot be used to train AI models without my written permission.” I will now incorporate this into mine. I have had two (2) ideas stolen by well known high-profilfe actors that really liked my project and I did NOT have them copywritten w/ the US Copyright only the WGA and they still got away with it. Now I am armed and ready to not make the same mistakes. Thanks for the info!
Thanks, David. Great advice for protecting our work. I use Audacity to create my files for my audio fiction. I definitely will look at timestamping and watermarks.
Copyright is best. If you use WGA, be mindful of the expiration date. Developing an NDA for us will be very helpful. Thanks David
