Legal Question in Technology Law in Missouri

Re: Copyright

Copyright attaches from the moment of creation, not publication. That is, whenever the work is committed to paper or type.

You should a copyright notice, examples of which appear on nearly every professional website you'll see, at the bottom of every page.

There are many excellent books on copyright and on internet publication available through Amazon.com or your local public library.

You should purchase a good legal guide if you are going into the publishing business.
