"Before you go any further you need to know that there is no official register for copyright. It is an unregistered right (unlike patents, registered designs or trade marks). So, there is no official action to take, (no application to make, forms to fill in or fees to pay). Copyright comes into effect immediately, as soon as something that can be protected is created and "fixed" in some way, eg on paper, on film, via sound recording, as an electronic record on the internet, etc.
It is a good idea for you to mark your copyright work with the copyright symbol � followed by your name and the date, to warn others against copying it, but it is not legally necessary in the UK. "
This is in the UK but how does it apply internationally? Any lawyers out there? Does this mean automatic protection for images shot in the UK only applies in the UK?
