Q. re: copyrighting work before uploading to website 2004-04-14 - By Kris Krieger

Hi, All,
I hope that those who celebrate Easter or Passover had fulfilling ones.
Meanwhile, I am just wondering whether anyone copyrights (as in, officially
- registering with the US CopyRight office) their works before uploading
them to a website.
Eventually I'll get my site ready to upload and what I was thinking is that,
since everything (design, music, images,wtitings, etc., and so forth) is
byme, myself, and I, with the exception (noted) of maybe a logo or two and
some JavaScript snippets, it might behoove me to load the entire thing onto
an extra CD and send the whole kit'n'kaboodle for registration as
"collected Works Volume One" or some such thgingr. Not that this prevents
people ripping off your stuff, but merely to have a leg to stand on "just in
case".
Anyway, I was just curious whether anyone else is doing anything similar, or
am I just particularly cynical...
Unfortunately, nothing new loaded yet, working slowly on a couple things but
this racka-fracka eye is holding me back from doing much of anything at all
(gotta have some immune testing done =:-p ). Hopefully soem new stuff can
go up soon! But I *am* curious about thuis registered copyright thing. I
know that "technically" something is "automatically" copyrighted if it's
original, but if push comes to shove, one doesn't get too far withour some
sort fo proof. Not fo course that my stuff is so fabulous, but, on the off
chance that a few bucks can be made, only fair if I make 'em <g>!
TIA,
- Kris K.
