Interesting links and notes on updates to my main website.

In case someone "borrows" your web content and then decides to argue about copyright, you may want to point them to Protecting Your Business Information from Web Theft and Copyright Violation and in particular the paragraph

Everything on your Web pages -- text, graphics, and HTML code -- is protected by US and international copyright law, whether or not you have gone to the trouble of formally applying for a copyright with the Library of Congress (though registering makes it easier to prove your ownership in court, should that become necessary). Knowing this, be very careful not to use someone else's materials, photos, or graphics on your Web site. Always ask for permission and be ready to pay for using someone else's hard work to enhance your business Web presence.

Under the Berne Convention, to which both Canada and the US are signatories, original written works are protected automatically. They do not need either to be registered, or to have a copyright notice.

Protecting Intellectual Property is another useful site. posted by Richard at 16:57 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
