Copyrighting only gives you a rock to throw at anyone who makes
unauthorized copies. You'd have to look deep down inside to decide if you
are up to actually throwing it before you actually gain protection. A
registered copyright just means you've got a bigger rock.
I other words, I think a copyright is only as good as your willingness to
sue someone for distributing a copy. The burden is on you to enforce
it. At best, seeing a copyright symbol on something might make honest
people think twice.

off-line so we can let everyone else get back to camera building.)
