I'm researching whether or not any companies or developers that use Git would be interested in a service that helped with copyright registration of source code.
Registration gives you the ability to sue if someone violates your chosen license and provides additional remedies. Even if you never want to be in a lawsuit, registration could make it easier to get someone to stop infringing and comply with license conditions because they will realize there could be consequences to their failure to comply. See http://fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/faqs/software/. You can do it yourself, but it can be painful and tedious. 1) If you are already registering your code, how are you doing it and how much does it cost you? 2) Whether or not you currently register your source code with the copyright office, would you use a service integrated with GitHub or Bitbucket that made it very easy? If so, would you pay for the service (assuming it was guaranteed and legitimate)? 3) Would open source developers/projects/foundations be interested or would this only be useful for proprietary code?
