Congress itself recognized that there is a problem with requiring registration before suit is brought by adding the "pre-registration" vehicle, although it is currently only available to a select industry. Does anyone know, though, why registration of the work as unpublished before a limited distribution (where the infringement occurs), followed by re-registration of the modified work on publication, wasn't the practice or didn't offer adequate protection? That's apparently what the vast majority of copyright owners still have to do to preserve their rights to the full scope of remedies, if their works will be vulnerable to infringement before publication.
