  • ACCORDING TO THE U.S. Copyright Office, "copyright" refers to a form of protection provided by U.S. law to the authors of "original works of authorship" including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic and other intellectual rights. The owner of copyrighted material generally has the exclusive right to authorize such things as reproducing, distributing and displaying the work.
  • This means that as soon as you finish a poem, novel or article, you automatically own the copyright and it's yours until you sell or license it to someone else, or until the period of protection ends.
  • But by giving notice of your copyright--and registering your work on a regular basis--you'll help prevent it from being stolen or misappropriated in the future. Better yet, it will give you an effective weapon to use against violators if you need to.
