Now here?s where a formal copyright comes in. By filing with the Library of Congress (and paying them their required application fee), you can establish definitively a date of copyright that will stand up in any court of law. Any judge or jury will defer to your date over someone else who can merely claim by word of mouth that his text came before yours. It?s a good idea to formally copyright any text that you are planning to market. So, if you?re convinced that the world population-at-large is in desperate need of ?Breeding Guppies, What Every Ichthyologist Needs to Know? and you plan to sell it on eBay for $19.95, you should apply for a formal copyright.
