Copyrights

Over the years there have been lots of discussions about copyrights and protection and registration of copyrights offering additional protection.

Here are a couple of sites that explain that yes...as soon as you take the photo you can put (C) on it (that's supposed to be in a circle) as you can say it's copyrighted, but registration of the copyright provides further protection and gives you additional ammo ("HEY guy, you are using a photo that is copyright registered" and you can get much more $$ damage should you take the legal route....as I did).

Just thought these were interesting. First is about the Berne Convention fo the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and the second site is just a site that says what advantages copyright registration has.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
