Should I register my work for copyright protection?

Yes! You should register it within ninety days of publication. Although it is not mandatory, registration does two important things:

(1) Most importantly it provides a record of you having created the material and its format as of the date of registration. Being able to prove you created the work first is often the most important part of a copyright law suit.

(2) Registration gives you additional rights like the ability to get damages as set forth in the law and attorneys fees.
