Description
There is no such thing as "nonexistant copyright".
You don't need to register for Copyright, though it does have its advantages. And this was quoted from here , actually...

If you have a Premium account, you can use the direct link of the picture, I believe, to use the full image on your page?

"Nitpick, because I know some moron is going to try to use this wrong. For some things copyright is indeed nonexistent. These things include:
• Works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of
expression (for example, choreographic works that have
not been notated or recorded, or improvisational speeches
or performances that have not been written or recorded)
• Titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols
or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation,
lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients
or contents
• Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts,
principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a
description, explanation, or illustration
• Works consisting entirely of information that is common
property and containing no original authorship (for
example: standard calendars, height and weight charts,
tape measures and rulers, and lists or tables taken from
public documents or other common sources
• Familiar symbols or designs

Also:
Copyright registration must generally
be made before an infringement suit can be brought

So even if there were to be an actual problem, unless you bothered to register it, there's a good chance you couldn't do anything about it anyway"

As for the last, you don't have to register if you have a dated copy. For example, if you stuff it in an envelope and send it to yourself, then you have the date there in the stamp they put with date and all.

Oh, and phrases can be protected using trademark protection. Names can be copyrighted if it is the title of the... series and stuff."

How to write a letter to art thieves, company/magazine/whatever!

It should be mentioned that a photograph/film/similar visual media of a person belongs to the subject and written consent should be acquired to display this work.

For example: I had a photomanipulation of a photograph I had taken of a friend. I deleted it from my gallery because it is actually illegal. Not that my friend would have objected, but it art isn't a "take first, ask later" thing, though it is often treated as such.

Permissions & copyrights are two very different things . My journal entry addresses copyright . Most everywhere I know , you need permission to take someones photo , unless they're identity is indistinguishable in the said photograph . What I wanted to make people aware of , is that in Canada , if your model asks you to take a picture of them , or they pay you to , the rights to that image belong to THEM , not to the photographer . You also mentioned property , & that is not so much covered by copyright , more by licensing or permissions . Facebook , now that's a whole other story , & I'm considering taking my images off of Facebook indefinitely due to the fact that upon sign-up , all your information belongs to Facebook .
