You misunderstand. Your comment appeared to suggest registration occurred in other countries. I was pointing out that America was the only country where it was used; and the only place where legal action for breach is inhibited through that process.
As regards any organisation that pretends to offer a registration process, my view is the same as yours. Even where a simple record of content deposit is offered it has little value, since comparison of works would be the key in any claims. And those, as I say, seem to be extremely rare.
I'm not sure how you misunderstood me, unless I picked up incorrectly on your phrase; that phrase alarmed me. I have in fact long argued against registration processes since they have little real value. The explosion in published works and in published material generally makes even attempts to catalogue everything look pretty hopeless.
But I had not intended, either, to hijack this thread; and I apologise for the diversion I have caused. My interest in joining is firstly about the processes for EPUB, and then developing understanding beyond my present level of the other formats.
