New c-Site™ Software Simplifies Copyright Registration Process to Protect Original Works [22nd July 2003]

‘Express File’ and Affordably Register a Copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office to Protect Original Web Sites, Software Programs, and Literary or Scholarly Works

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 22, 2003 – Starfield Technologies, Inc., sister company of leading domain registrar GoDaddy.com, today announced the release of c-Site™ an easy-to-use software service that simplifies the process of registering a copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office. Ideal for Web site developers, computer programmers, and authors of novels, poems and other literary or scholarly works, c-Site enables individuals to quickly and affordably register and protect their original works without the expense and hassle of an attorney.

c-Site’s three-step registration process saves time in transforming works from vulnerable to protected. The first step asks six, “yes” or “no” questions that streamline the copyright application process. Based on the user’s responses, c-Site customizes the copyright registration application. As a result, the application typically takes the user less than 10 minutes to complete.

“Registering a copyright doesn’t have to be complex or frustrating. Simplifying the process by deciphering copyright legalese was the goal behind this step-by-step approach to protecting original works,” said Bob Parsons, president. “The launch of c-Site expands our product line beyond domain-related services, and reinforces our commitment to customer support, quality and highly competitive pricing.”

c-Site is available through GoDaddy.com for $9.95, including a thorough review of the application by Starfield’s copyright registration experts. The customer handles submission to the Copyright Office and pays the $30 filing fee required by the Copyright Office to process the application. Optionally, for an additional $49, the c-Site Express Filing Service includes the federal filing fee, as well as application review and preparation, and submission via overnight mail – all handled by Starfield staff.
