I am not debating, to be honest, I would be on the end that has US copyright
protection, then not having it, and being sued, from anyone, or for whatever
copyright reasons they might claim to have or hold...
I noticed it says $105, but i do not understand the $30 block below
that...does that mean if you put anything on that line then it
will cost an extra $30?
10 years ago, their rates where like $20
The Govt's greed is showing over the years
What I was told was that if you use more than 1 name you might as well fill up that line to the 10 max because it cost's the same... If you need 11 to 20 then you have to pay $60, or so on. Personally I paid the extra $30 because I have multiple domain names all going to the same site. I don't know if it was necessary but $30 was cheaper then getting a professional opinion on it.

If your website generates unique content, registering an agent shows that you intend to protect your work. Should you ever file a DMCA takedown against another website, the other website doesn't comply, and you push it to court, then the judge would look more favorably toward the party that followed DMCA procedure.
That's the whole point of a Registered Agent -- all copyright issues regarding that site go through that agent, no matter if the issue is "CNN stole from you" or "you stole from CNN".
Thank you for the explanation. I'm still learning, didn't know the Agent would also initiate claims. Good stuff. :up:
