How To Copyright

Hey I am wondering something.

How do you legally Copyright a website that you've made?

Just by making the website, it is under copyright. Does that mean that you will get the full protection of copyright law? Only if you can prove that you've put it online before someone else (possibly using the internet history engine or whatever that thing is called.)

If you are truly serious about it, you should check out this (in the US at least) U.S. Copyright office link: http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ66.html

Good luck with it.

I'm looking for a cheap way to trademark a design/logo without going through the Feds. Have any ideas?

Thanks, man I appreciate your help.
I'm just glad I don't have to pay anything.

Keep in mind, you cannot copyright HTML code, only your site's content.

If you see someone that's stolen your site's content, just email them, saying if they don't remove the content, you'll report them... That always scares them Very Happy

To find websites that are stealing your content, just copy and paste a sentence or so into Google. Put quotes around it, and search!

For example, I recently found a site which stole FriHost's TOS. A simple Google Search for a section of the TOS revealed this.
