Hi Tom, Actually, that's not correct. Your rights are protected whether you register your work or not. In fact, you are no longer even required to affix a copyright notice to your work to protect your rights -- although it makes it much easier to make a legal case if you do affix a proper copyright notice. See Nolo Press' FAQ on US copyright law. Look around in http://www.nolo.com for the link to copyright law. They also sell a lot of books on copyright, trademark, and patent law, including DIY stuff.
