Incidentally, when someone produces a picture or photograph, story, software code, magazine or newspaper article, or any other work that falls into the category of intellectual property in the US, it is AUTOMATICALLY COPYRIGHTED in the name of the person who created the work.
There is no need to register a copyright for the item to protect it. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 02, 2003 07:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] Help with gd I can't answer your question, and this may even be off-topic, but copyright law is never so simple as it may at first seem. I don't know the law in any country but my own (Britain), but here in Britain, adding a watermark does NOT make a picture copyright. In Britain, what makes a picture, or a novel, or a piece of music, or any other creation, copyright, is the simple fact that you've published it. In other words, simply putting something on the web _automatically gives you copyright_. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
