QUESTION

Change of Contents

Asked on Dec 19th, 2017 on Copyrights - Mississippi
More details to this question:
I have written a book but wish to copyright it before it is released. I have no problem with all that. The question is: can I change the content after I have it copyrighted? For example, can re-word paragraphs, add to paragraphs or chapters, change pictures/graphics. Thank your for any information you can give.

As a general matter, if you make significant revisions, you should obtain an additional copyright registration to protect the new content, which would likely be considered "derivative work" based on the original work.  Minor revisions, such as correcting typos, changing title, or changing short phrases or names, would not require an additional registration.
