When adding a new copyright owner there are some simple rules to follow that will make the copyright owner lookup list much easier to use.
We also suggest that you make sure the name does not already exist in the list. So search the list before attempting to add what you think is a new name. Here is where being consistent pays off. If you always enter the last name first and you search by the last name you will quickly find out if that copyright owner does exist in the list. Spelling is important. Everyone can make a typo, don't assume you are any different.
