    Hello,

    I have some source code for which I want to register copyright, is there any good online service out there?

    otherwise what are my options.

    Thanks,

    If you want to register US copyright, you can go to the US Copyright office online and file electronically:

    http://www.copyright.gov/register/

    It only costs $35 to file online, and (unlike Trademark or Patent filings) is easy to do without an attorney or other middleman.

    For more info about registering copyright see their publication "Copyright Basics" (pdf)
    http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.pdf

    The copyright FAQ:
    http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/

    I would expect similar online options for the UK and other countries' copyright offices.
