Also, when I did look at your email, it didn't include any question for me, and neither did you tell me to ship the books. And finally, this issue matters very little to me, and is of zero urgency. Since all content is automatically copyrighted the moment it is written, this registry means almost nothing. However, I'll ship the two copies to him today or tomorrow. -Matt On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 1:47 AM, Robin Lee Powell wrote: > Again with the subject line changing; are you dropping llg-board > mails or something? > > -Robin > On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 10:25 AM, Robin Lee Powell wrote: > Apparently not.  My bad as well; I was going to Amazon the WiLs. > > -Robin > > ----- Forwarded message from Bernard A Mercer ----- > > Subject: Re: U.S. Copyright Office / mandatory deposit notice 257810 > From: Bernard A Mercer > To: "Powell, Robin Lee" > Date: Mon, 18 May 2009 10:21:20 -0400 > > Dear Robin, > > Thank you for responding to my email. > > I appreciate that you are a small volunteer-only organization.  I refer you to paragraph two of the "notice of mandatory deposit of copies" for a succinct explanation of why this legal obligation applies to Logical Language Group  as well as to a large complex entity such as Random House. > > We searched our records thoroughly each time before contacting you about these outstanding titles.  We have no record of receipt for Complete Lojban language or What is Lojban?  Please send us two copies of each title and address package to my attention at: > > Library of Congress > Copyright Acquisitions Division - LM 524 > 101 Independence Avenue, S.E., STOP 6600 > Washington, D.C. 20559-6600 > > Please note that the Library of Congress receives thousands of packages each day.  Therefore, we recommend that you send your package using a traceable mail method.  This will allow us to confirm delivery of the shipment.  If you send package by UPS, Fed Ex, etc, please forward the tracking number to me as soon as you know it. > > http://www.copyright.gov/mail.html > > Thank you again for your cooperation. > > Bernard > > Bernard A.
