Yup. In the past, I had submitted several of my works to the LoC
for registration, but unfortunately, not all of them (gets a little
costly). What I'm doing now is producing the entire year's worth of
folios and prints (which should be completed by the end of winter),
and then submitting them all prior to their public release. There
are a few lawyers I've checked into as well, since I want to have
one of them draft up and/or approve the notice that will be included
in every folio, stating they are registered works, yada yada yada.
Personally, I think more artists need to take such a stand. I
never have issues such as this with my mainstream work, and I've
been selling that stuff longer than the furry art! Go figure, huh?

it's not part of a folio or anything.
Thanks. Time is short nowadays, so I've decided to be less gentle
in the future. >;P

And I got to enjoy them right up until I skipped a rent payment.
Sweet. I'm glad their sales were able to help you out of a jam
(been there myself before!). And your folks probably said porn
would never do you any good, right? :D
