Back in the day I used to program a little and I was
interested in understanding copyrights, so I visited
the copyright website. What I got from it is this:
Anything you create is automatically protected by
international copyright treaties. All you need to do
is put (C) the year, and your name or a name that
you're known by (doesn't even have to be your real
name or could be the name of your band). There was
something about (P) for audio, but I didn't pay much
attention of that at the time. There is like a $20
fee if you want to send your material to them for
keeping in their records. This is NOT required
though, but it did have some advantages (like
undeniable proof and something having to do with not
having to pay legal fees). I believe this was the
website (although it's much different now), I recomend
everybody read the Copyright Basics for themselves:
