Easiest way to register for copyright?

->> I've done search on the message board and google, but haven't found an answer... What's the easiest way to register an image for copyright? I thought there was a program like photo mechanic that allowed you to automatically register a large number of images. Please let me know what you do and if there is such a program that exists. I'd like to be able to register once every 3 months with all the images I have shot and submit either online or on 1 DVD and pay the $35 fee for all the images every 3 months.

Thanks,
Josh

->> Very simple... but never heard of any software that will do it for you. I have used the below steps to register tens of thousands of images over the past 10 years.

1)Make low-res jpegs of all the images that you want to register - I choose 4"x6" at 72dpi for mine
2) Fully metadata them with all your info
3) Register and log onto the e-LOC website and fill out form VA.
4) Upload images via their FTP or burn to CD/DVD and ship it in.
5) Wait 3-6 months for registration certificate. FYI... your effective date of registration is the day that images arrive at LOC.

Some variation of this is easy and does not require special software.
