Having trouble loading script to the US Copyright Office website.?
So....
I wrote a movie script and trying to copyright it on the US Copyright Office website. I've gone through the process, answered the question and filled in the forms. I'm all but done and ready to pay the fee but the site has yet to ask me to upload the script. I see an area referencing uploaded documents but I can't find the area that allows me to upload a document. I don't know what I'm missing.

Is there a next button maybe?
But you better upload it to the WGA website anyway ( http://wga.org/ ).

FWIW, the US Copyright Office does NOT copyright things for you.
What they do is allow you to register your existing copyright. Copyright registration in the USA is only required when you are suing someone in federal court. 17 USC 511. You automatically own the copyright of your creative works of original authorship at the moment you first write it down (or type into computer memory, or sing on tape or whatever). That has been the US law since 1989, when copyright formalities were repealed, and in most other countries since long before that.
