Thanks for the interesting info Marc. I agree with you 100% about not registering songs before a deal is on the table. A waste of money.

However...
My question was "I'm wondering is the songwriter that registers his/her songs as a collection to save money, then a publisher signs (and registers) one of the songs in the collection - who would technically own the copyright to this song (since the earlier copyright registration carries more weight)?".

I'm also wondering, in the realm of a "multiple" song registration, (which btw, many songwriters register their work in this way) can a song be removed from such a multiple copyright registration? Does the Copyright Office allow edits of original copyrights?

Best, John
