Re: [BKARTS] copyright protection
As I understand it, If you don't register your copyright, you **can**
sue to stop the use of your material, but you cannot sue to collect
damages, such as lost income, etc.

All work is copyrighted once it is done... BUT it has to be
registered before you can go after anyone who infringes on your
work.... that takes filling out a form and sending money to copyright
office.
You cannot go after some who "steals" your work unless you register
your work...even if your work is copyrighted just because you have
created it.
Confusing, yes...
