Maybe somebody knows the answer to this and can save me the price of a phone call to LOC.
Step One: I apply for and get an SR copyright for an album of songs that I write and record - I work the SR copyright so the one $30 registration covers both the songs and the performance of them. Nice.
Step Two: later on, I find some people to collaborate with me on a new and different recording of those same songs. I don't have to re-register the copyright of the songs obviously, cuz I've already done that, but what about the new recorded versions of those songs? Can I apply for a new SR copyright, this time copyrighting only the recording of the songs?
