Each year I send any of my images that I post here and other sites, print for sale, or place on my website to the Library of Congress to register the copyright. It costs about $45 and to me is worth it.
I realize that whenever we release the shutter the images are automatically copyrighted. But this is much harder to prove without registration By registering my images are on file so, If there is an infringement a strong case can be built in my favor.

I suggest all of us follow this practice.
