Hi Wayne,
Thanks for your comment about copyright law. I’m not sure what you found inaccurate about my reporting on Canada’s laws, but I did check what I wrote and then verified that against the two links below. I’m am not Canadian so I have no personal knowledge of the law, but I did mention that copyright in Canada requires no registration. I would appreciate any information that you have that I can use to correct my piece. My intent is to inform, not confuse, and if I erred I would like to correct my mistakes. Thanks for the heads up.
Tom

Registration in Canada has no advantages except in cases where you self-publish, and even then it means little, since the date you applied for the ISBN is recorded.

Hi Madge,
Love your attitude. Keep on truckin’.
If you accumulate a number of works you might think of copyrighting them all together to save some money.
Write on!

It’s the same old adage you got to know someone….I still write and now I don’t give a damn because as I see it the person or persons who does take your work has got to be small and useless….their ego has to be as small as their brain…I Facebook it google it…we live in a digital world where people can change dates times what have and you don’t stand a chance….but you won’t see me giving up what brings me and other people joy….just to hear someone tell me how beautiful my songs are is enough…yea well I would love to get paid….poor isn’t the word…I am blessed to have such a gift….let the loser who takes it see the child that mother is trying to feed……and then look in the mirror….I let go and let GOD and he can’t be copy written…..thanks pal for the info….I am write on….be blessed
