As with other complaints I have read about this scam service I submitted for a copy right through this service on January 25, 2007. I paid the full fee of 129 and after a few weeks I received nothing. On February 12, 2007 I tried calling to no avail so I sent an email. Almost immediately I received this response "Your completed copyright application has been sent to the Copyright Office in Washington DC. We will email confirmation when we receive word it has arrived probably today or tomorrow." Client Support

That was the one and last response I ever got. Over 2 years later I still have not received anything from this company - nor any response to my numerous attempts to reach them. Now I believe GoCopyRight is blocking their web server as any attempt to get to the website now produces this message "Safari can't open the page because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later."

I went online not knowing about getting a copyright on my information and came across gocopyright.com so I thought it looks like it is an ok company. I processed my information and paid 129.00 back on 9/11/07. I have since emailed and phoned them asking the status of my order. They emailed me back for a while after my order and now I have heard nothing. They said oh, its taking longer than normal. It takes about a year. I said ok. It seems I have emailed them dozens of times within the lat couple months and they have not contacted me.

I finally called the copyright offices in Washington DC where the documents are suppose to go. They found my information and told me that my documents we never processed due to them waiting on insufficient funds from gocopyright.com. I was pissed. I never received an email from gocopyright of course why would I for this. I have now taken care of my order for only 45.00 and am going to try and get my money back (good luck right?) from gocopyright.com. If anyone is looking to get a copyright go to copyright.gov. It is the offical government site and if you do it online it is only 35.00. How sad I did not know this back in 2007. I hope this helps someone so this doesn't happen to you.
