  Essential Copyright

  Simple, straight-forward and easily the best bang for the bucks.

  by: locace on 21-Apr-2005 05:26:02 AM

  Pros: Does one big thing for all major applications suprisingly well - walk you straight through the process of completing your copyright applications. Information section are available at each step and, after purchase, you can complete and file an unlimited number of applications. Compared to other services and software, that feature alone enticed me to buy.

  Cons: Would like to see a pro or network version for multiple users.

  Unlimted Copyrights, for fifty bucks? Automated no less?

  by: bobokane on 30-Mar-2005 03:01:16 PM

  Pros: Unlimted applications can be made. In a flash no less. This program is simple to set up, easy to use and does all the work my lawyer usually charges me a ton for. Needless to say, this is going to make my laywer upset being his hourly services and fee's are going to be knocked down nearly 95%. :)

  Cons: Nothing! For the one time fee, anybody who needs to protect themsleves without paying the ton of monies associated should get this product! I am literally still astounded at what I can do!

  Essential Copyright

  Easy to use - will save me money

  by: kudnu on 30-Mar-2005 11:11:04 AM

  Pros: I looked into copyrighting my songs online through some websites like legalzoom and some others - they typically charge like $99 to copyright one song. With this software I can copyright all of my songs for $49. It was easy to use - they provide instructions and examples which are helpful. The cost is low and certainly worth it.

  Cons: Trial version doesn't let you print your completed work (I guess that makes sense since its a trial) - I ended up buying the full version and it works great.
