    The Copyright Office is working on modernizing their computer systems, registration practices, and database functionality. They will be making changes in registration applications, and will build an entirely new online registration interface. This is an opportunity for us to suggest some changes in the registration process to aid and benefit visual creators.
    
    We’d like to gather some statistical information from illustrators, graphic artists, and fine artists about the quantity of works you create, if you register your works, and your opinions about new registration models we may propose.
    
    This survey will take about 2 minutes to complete.
    
    Take the survey here.
