An alert from SFWA's Legal Affairs Committee about privacy when registering a copyright with the US Copyright Office. Personally Identifiable Information will become visible to anyone searching the records.



Although SFWA sent this out, it is useful information for any author.

Yeah, that's a strange alert.

Periodic reminder: vanity pubs and their ilk trawl registration records looking for marks.

Alert: When you create a public record, that record is public!

Back to watching the sky falling and that stupid chicken next door...
