Nicole Pottinger on the Copyright Office & Copyright Registration

In this episode, Nicole Pottinger, a third-year law student at the University of Kentucky and summer intern at the United States Copyright Office, discusses her experiences at the Copyright Office, the mechanics of copyright registration, and our co-authored paper "Registration is Fundamental." Among other things, Pottinger explains what happens at the Copyright Office and why authors should consider registering their works of authorship. She also discusses the pending United States Supreme Court case Fourth Estate Public Benefit Corp. v. Wall-Street.com, how it could affect copyright registration, and why we concluded that copyright registration is important to the copyright system. You can also read Pottinger's summary of the case here. Pottinger is on Twitter at @nicolepottinger.
