Hello , I am preparing to make a blog about business ,,I prepared for it well and get tired writing articles by myself for myself . But now How can I reserve my copyrights of my articles ? sorry for inconvenience but I am afraid that some one may take my effort and just copy and paste it ,and it seems for google finally that it is me who copied and pasted it . waiting 4 ur replies
In the US your work is copyrighted as soon as it's fixed in tangible form - so as soon as it's up on your blog, it's copyrighted to you. You don't need to register it with the copyright office, but that would allow you to bring a lawsuit for copyright infringement. More info: http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-general.html#register The fact is that there is no way to prevent people from copying what you write. However, if someone does copy your work and put it online, you can file a DMCA complaint with him/his host and get it taken down.
Yes I agree Highly with Nonny you may want to register at copyright.gov and get your articles copyright protected the only thing is its not free to put a copyright on something. Hope this is helpful thanks, John
