Hello,

To what extent does a registration of a compilation work entitle the owner of compilation to obtain statutory damages and attorney's fees against an infringer who infringes only on a contribution to the compilation. Assuming that the compilation owner owns or has an exclusive license to each contribution, is there any reason from the compilation owner's standpoint to register each contribution, or will the registration in the compilation be sufficient.

Thanks for any advice.
