GoDaddy has created an idiotic "Copyright Registration" service that provides "expert assistance" in registering your copyright — something that you have virtually no good earthly reason to do, and something you absolutely don't need any pricey "expert assistance" with. They offer a goony little badge you can put on your work to show that it's really, really, s00per-copyrighted, too ("Display this on your site and show thieves and others
that you have federally assured rights to damages and attorneys' fees"). This is about half a step above the Green Card lotto scam and pay-for-book-doctoring "services" that prey on would-be artists' anxieties.
