Default Copyright?

Do you have your site protected under copyright? i heard you have to pay for such protection? also have you had any of your content stolen. By content thieves?

As long as you have it in your terms of service that all of the content on your site is yours and no one can copy it, you can get people prosecuted. Content thiefs are always there, I have had people copy text/images from my site and claim it as theirs. Usually a copy right violation email sent to them does the trick, if not then there always other ways.

Although it is true that unique content is yours and cannot be stolen legally, you need to first find the person that is doing the stealing then try to get him/her to stop.

If you can get to the right person a letter might do but if they ignore the letter, it may be harder for you because of country boundaries and costs involved. There may be no choice but to forget about it.

A court in one country hardly has jurisdiction in a country across the world. And how much is someone willing to pay to prosecute the offender?

Wesley most hosts take copyright violations seriously and sending them a properly written email would likely see that site go offline. Add to this, you can always send a similar mail to yahoo and google and ask them to delist the offending site.

Yes I go with you, You can ask to delist, but I think its very hard to punish who do against law in these computere world, though cyber crime police station was set up in Bangalore, India, Its of no use there.

That really depends on the host. The torrent sites survive off hosts that don't care if the site is using stolen content. It's a real problem in the adult webmaster community and in mainstream movie, music, and DVD sales. It's a damn shame that people are able to profit off of someone's hard work, and dirtbag sites like Adult Friend Finder advertise on these torrent sites.

As wesley said it's really hard. If you are small website owner just considered few hundred dollar income through site. Are you going to spend that much money to punish such copier?
You can do is that show your content to google that your site is right owner of the content. Google ban such site which using copy stuff from other sites on their search engine so that only your site come with that content come in the search engine. It help form some harm to your site rank. I don't know other search engines.

I am not really sure if this is true, but recently there was a discussion on a particular forum on the internet, that a person who has copied some copyrighted material, has been fined $9000.

I think it's useless to protect sites in such way

I took a few Intellectual Property classes and basically if you make it, it is copyrighted, you don't need to inform people or register it. Proving this is another issue. I would say its a good idea to store a back up in a folder so you can prove you had it on such a date. Musicians used to mail a copy of a song to themselves and not open it so if it went to court, they could show the postmark, open it and prove they wrote it. Maybe you could e-mail your site to yourself on G-mail.

Copright theft is an ongoing issue and will remain for years to come. If you do not know yet, they are even selling softwares to extract content from blogsites and websites like yours and mine. God knows what they do with the content....

So lesson learned here is, to focus on more offensive tasks like writing and pruducing more content and building traffic. Your content does have a shelve life, not like products ( which is worth the time claiming copyright to )

If you go on defensive like giving time to look for copyright protection for your website, you will end up loosing much time and money in the end which in the first place you can use it to generate more business for your website. Anyone?

It is righteous to ensure the copyright of your property. With rampant plagiarism, every one's work is prone to piracy. So it is better to be safe and secured than be sorry.

When the copyright become a part of internet, then there is no new internet player play on the net. Every word already write by somebody, a though, if everybody copyrighted what he or she write, then what shall i write?

I think copy write is necessary for the business online to avoid data stolen and also another technique can be used to escape from the risks of data stolen and that technique is that you may change your password frequently so that your password may not be hacked. Hacking of password can also create problems for you.

In my country the process for copyright registry takes a very long time, for some people it's better to sell out their patent to buyers from other countries. Kinda sad huh?

My friend has his own website and he always submits some articles in his website, but he must add an sentence at the end of the articles: The copyright is reserved. I think this is a good way to protect ourselves.
