Okay, I told you how this worked and you don't want to listen. I'll just tell Chuck Stanion he is wrong.
FWIW:
Copyrighting a work, that is, registering it with the Copyright Office, is not expensive, but it is a bit cumbersome. You can do the whole thing online. Now, most people realize that the creator of a copyrightable work is automatically protected under US law. The creator can assign that copyright to others by contract, such as agreeing to produce work on a "work for hire" basis, thereby forfeiting their copyright ownership, but for all intents, copyright protection is automatic and requires no action on the part of the work creator.
Registering copyright, however, entitles the copyright holder to recover statutory damages, should the copyright be infringed upon. You would not be entitled to collect damages if your copyrighted was infringed upon and you did not register the work. Statuatory damages can be quite significant, especially if your work has an established value.

If my name was George Dibos and I was the worlds foremost authority on many brands of pipes and also is the worlds expert on rehabbing pipes. I would charge that group money for every article you write. It is advertising for them. Free publicity. I would ask 1000.00 oer article written and then let them grind you on the price.
You are George freaking Dibos, they need to pay you for making any of their products relevant If you want me to be your manager, it would be my pleasure and I wouldn't even charge you anything except maybe fixing a corn cob for me. lol

I almost forgot, you have to cut Kevin in on the action. Maybe an extra article, maybe some pipe service, or if you have to give him cash.
Oh yeah, Kevin don't go stealing my management fee even if this is your site. heheh

African or European?
Being an Old Guy, I obviously made the assumption that simple questions had simple answers (it's the way things worked before all them swarms of digitals started crawling into everything), and figured asking the Top Guy would be the simplest way to git 'er done. Less confusion, and all that.
Oh well.
My apologies for having bumped a bee's nest. bzzzz bzzzz
