All works are automatically copyrighted the moment they are created. There is no registration required to copyright anything like you have to with a patent or a trademark. There is a copyright registration process, and that is set up to make it easy to PROVE your entitelements, thats all. Your entitlements under the copyright law exist the moment you create the images. There are some differences in what happens if you try to enforce your rights if you have registered your copyright, so its definitely a good thing to complete the copyright registration process, but its important to understand that your rights exist in any work you create, images and text and code and any other thing (including this email) simply by creating the work. In short, if you create an image, you automatically own the copyright until such time as you assign the right to someone else, or if you created it .under an arrangement that means it is already owned by someone else (e.g. if you are working as an employee at the time). -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307398 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
