Original Registration - Google - UC - WorldCat - ETC.

The United States Copyright Office deposit requirements
states "two complete copies or phonorecords of the best
edition" of works published in the U.S.; "one complete copy
or phonorecord of the work as first published" outside U.S.

If the United States Copyright Office, as well as other office
agencies worldwide, would change the Original Registration
requirements, they could save billions of dollars over time
in wasted reproduction processes, by including digital copies
of works, as well as provide a universal standard format for
indexing each work deposited, to secure technology control
over the distribution of "copies or phonorecords of the work
to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental,
lease, or lending".

Respectfully yours,
