The second that any work is ~created~ it is
copyrighted. It does not have to be registered by the
government, although that helps. It does not even have
to say "copyright so and so" on it. I was working at
Eckerda couple of years ago as a photolab manager when
K-Mart was sued for several hundred thousand dollars
for copyright infringment and they made us go through
very extensive training, and I've also caught a client
trying to copy my work without permission. So perhaps
I'm a little touchy on this subject.
