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...

"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 .

Good to see this clearly stated. When I registered my Chamilins it was so that I could take any art thieving bastard to court (IF I had to that is). May it never come to that, I wrote a book about them for Heaven's sake. ^^

Couldn't possibly be clearer XD
All you really need is a dated copy, which is why DA is good. But people can accuse you of editing the file, so you should e-mail it to yourself, or even snail-mail it. The stamp on snail-mail has the date and you keep it in there until you need to take it out--if ever 8D

Yeah DA's pretty good about that. I have two copies of character copyright ownership certificates in my strong box.

That I've never heard of. You can copyright your character?

Apparently I did. I registered my Chamilin species. (mythical fiction creatures I created.)

Back in 1998, I went online to the Copyright Office or whatever it was called (it's been a long time ) and printed out the forms. Quite a few different forms: literature, film, fiction, etc. I had to send them a drawing of what the character/species was supposed to be, and a summary. Sent with it a $35 check. 2 weeks later I got double copies of my Certificate, and one in the Copyright/Patent office in DC. I can scan and put up a scanshot of it if you want. (If I can FIND it)

Yes please!
*Will also make a Copyright Awareness Stamp!*
I think I'll use the #Aershaa on it, but may I use your creatures on the stamp as well?

I'll try to find that darn thing...it's NOT where I thought it was but I know I didn't chuck it. *runs around in a panic*
My critters? Sure. Why not? I'd like to see it when it's done. Though 99.97% of the world don't know what the heck Chamilins are. Just make sure to give me credit as their creator.
