The contact information for that person must also be listed on your website, so this will be a good doublecheck that your business’ websites all have current information for this contact. And then, once you’ve done that, you should go through the process of completing the online registration form to file this information with the U.S. Copyright Office. Effective in December 2016, that office will no longer accept paper copies of these notices. From now on, that information will only be accepted through their online portal and effective December 31, 2017, only the registrations done through the online system will be considered valid.
You can find more information about this portal and system at https://www. copyright.gov/dmca-directory/ and to file a registration, you will need to create a login account (see the right hand side of the website).
