If you don't want to spend money on copyright registration, fine. But don't cast shade on those who do--there are good reasons why they take that step.
Chipotle....I had a good laugh. It was strange coming from you cause you're one of the most knowledgeable people here, but that article actually proves my point that it's all corporations and their minions doing all the towel throwing...not poor little guys with too many guitars. I wonder how much the copyright office actually racks in from those scare tactics. Sorry, but yes they do....intentionally scare people into doing things they wouldn't normally do under other more sane circumstances.
