The U.S. Copyright Office has developed a special kit for registering on-line works called, surprisingly, *Kit #125: Copyright Registration for On-line Works.* Currently, they do not have the kit posted on their website. Nevertheless, you can get the kit for free by leaving your name and address (and indicating the kit number and title) at the following 24-hour Copyright Office hotline: 202/707-9100. From what I understand, the registration procedures for on-line works is similar to those for other media. Barry G. Szczesny, Esq.
