    Copyright has to do with intellectual property rights. Copywriting has to do with writing copy (marketing copy for example, although this forum is more of a catchall for talking about all types of writing).

    Your question is about copyright of Web content, so it belongs in the legal issues forum. And for the record, once it's written in tangible form, it's protected legally to some degree. To register it formally, you'll need to file with the copyright office (www.copyright.gov) or the similar agency in your country if not in the US.

    When you publish something, it's automatically protected legally for free (in the US at least). Registering the copyright is not free, but gives you extra rights if you do need to sue someone.
