With that single application (Form PA) even consisting of 34 songs, I only paid $119 dollars for a verified package. The online copyright application directly to the copyright office (using eco) still did not exist in those years and it seems that the only best solution is to use third party copyright processors (like Click and Copyright) since the copyright office in the US will not accept credit card payments, cash in the mail and Western union payments. They only accept payments by money order but unfortunately international money order is not available in the Philippines during that time.

Anyway it was a great application and for the first time I have copyrighted everything in my catalog in the US Copyright office.So if you asked when did I received my US Copyright certificate after they received my work two years ago?
