Just saying it is > copyrighted does not make it so. > Marking it as copyright does indeed mean it is copyrighted (actually, the work becomes copyright to the creator at creation). But registering provides added protection and stronger remedies for infringement. Also, work may be registered within xx days of an infringement to obtain this protection too. Work may also be registered in bulk. (I have a whole slew of copyright sites at home I can hunt down). BTW in here Canada, you don't need to register. Also, copyright infringement here has both Civil AND Criminal remedies (ie it is theft of copyright/intellectual property). But there are also a number of other weird outdated copyright quirks to offset that! Tim A
