   Getting a copyright is the simpliest thing in the world and may be the
ONLY Federal goverment form that you DON'T need a Philadelphia lawyer
for.  All you have to do is write a letter to:
        Copyright Office
        Library of Congress
        Washington, D. C. 20559
and ask them to send you their circulars (no charge) on how to go about
getting a copyright.  They will also send you the right forms if you
tell them the type of item that you wish to copyright.  Wait a minute...
I have the form types right here:
   Form TX: for published and unpublished non-dramatic literary works
   Form SE: for serials, works issued or intended to be issued in
       intended to be continued indefinately (periodicals, newspapers,
       magazines, newsletters, annuals, journals, etc.)
   Form PA: for published and unpublished works of the performing arts
   Form VA: for published and unpublished works of visual arts
   Form SR: for published and unpublished sound recordings

The directions are easy to understand, you can fill in the form your-
self, and it only costs $10 to register your copyright.  If you have
any other questions or need help, I'll be glad to offer assistance.
I have 3 copyrights myself...so, it can't be hard at all!
