How To Copyright

Everything on the web is copyrighted, whether it bears a copyright 
notice or not, and unless it gives specific permission to reproduce 
it, you may not copy it or redistribute it. 
      What is Copyrighted? 
         • Any image or text on a web page, and the 
           complete web page itself. 
         • Any image or text written down anywhere, not 
           just on the web. 
 

Written work is automatically copyrighted when 
created. You can use the © symbol right away. Even 
if you don't put that little © on your work, you 
automatically own the copyright the instant your 
work of expression becomes written down. 

       Now while a copyright-that little © followed by 
the year and author's name-is not required, it is 
recommended in order to remind people that the 
author claims a copyright, which helps to deter 
would be plagiarists. 

 There is a new statute in the US, it's called the "Digital  Millennium Copyright Act of 1998" signed by the President  on Oct. 28, 1998 and it addressed a number of copyright  issues created by the increasing use of the Internet for  commerce in materials protected by copyright(such as  websites, email and software) 

 Neta is the No Electronic Theft Act signed by President  Clinton in December 1998. This act makes if a serious  criminal offense, to engage in certain acts of copying  materials protected by copyright that were previously  treated as criminal offenses only if they were done for  financial gain. It covers much more than electronic  theft.      You can register your copyright by filing a simple      form and depositing 1 or 2 samples of the work with      the US Copyright Office. To obtain forms, instructions,      or the location of the Copyright Office in your state,      you can call the US Copyright Office by telephone      @ (202) 707-9100, or visit then online at:                             <http://www.loc.gov/copyright>      Currently, in the US, resgistration cost $20. per work.      If you're registering several works that are part of one      series, you may be able to save money by registering      the works together.         For more information visit:             <http://www.ifla.org/II/cpyright.html>
