I don't often comment but this is the law in the UK on copyright.
Copyright must be proved based on the proof of creation.
The most common way of proving copyright, is by posting the copyright subject in
a sealed envelope to yourself through the Post Office as recorded delivery.
This then should never be opened.
Proving copyright over the internet is nigh on impossible, unless the source can
clearly be identified as originating from you.
