actually you are wrong and andreas is quite correct about this specifically the *statutory* damages part his point is that without registration, you don't get that so easy (or at all) David Howell wrote: Actually, that's not true. An artists work becomes "copyright" from the instant it is created regardless whether or not you have actually gone and registered it. Regardless, everyone should be putting a © somewhere on their sites no matter what the case.

If someone rips off your website, blog, search history, financial data, does it matter if they get something other than little green tickets in return? Legally, yes. Not in the States. Copyright has nothing to do with whether or not someone makes money off of it. It's just that you're more likely to get monetary damages if there's money involved somewhere down the line. Exactly it does matter. If you haven't registered with the copyright office (I doubt any vloggers have, it costs money for each work) then you cannot sue for statutory damages so you have to prove an actual loss. It makes a big difference. -- Andreas Haugstrup Pedersen <URL: http://www.solitude.dk/ > Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo!
