If I take a picture and put it on my website is it automatically copyrighted since it is published?  If so, with what "organization"?  I can't find any information on this, but I have heard it is.

I did a load of work in my DT lessons on copyright and patents etc but they seem to have gone from my memory, i think if you take a picture of something you have the copyright of it but im not sure.  The  copyright page of the  U.K patent office website has lots of information about copyright, trade marks and patents etc, check out out its a quality site.

I think as long as you right the copyright notice, and your name, and the year (you need proof of the year i believe), then you are ok

I have read many places that if it is on the Internet by yourself, it is "copyrighted."  But also, there is no such thing as an "Internet copyright."  One of my fellow percussionists said that it is automatically copyrighted, and I read a PDF that also said that.

The EFF is who takes care of people who take your pictures, graphics, etc.

Well it turns out someone took one of my pictures.  I guess if they don't take it off, I'll get the EFF. :)
Good day to you.

Just put a big ole' fat "RYAN L" across all of your pictures. Digital watermark, they call it, or something of the such. People might still jack your pics, but then they have to uglify it by going into MSpaint and trying to hide the havoc you let on the  corner of your pic.

Then it ruins my pictures. :(

If you want to prove you own the copyright to something, print it out with your name, put it in an envelope and mail it to yourself. The name proves you made it and the date stamped on the enveloped proves when you made it. Because it's sealed it can't have been messed with. If you ever need to show you made something you have all the details to prove it.

He took a picture off of my site, added "abusive words" to it and then put it on.  You mean print out the picture that was originally on my site or do you mean something else?

The original picture, not the edited one with "wanker" and "ejit" written all over it!

*looks at RyanL's site*

Ahhhhhh! Argh! Argh! You... obviously spent a long time on that...

If you want a quality site, look at me and my college mates site over here

Ice dude, I thought you were from Blighty? The guys in those pictures look distinctly un-English, and the cars moreso...

P.S Ryan, as your whole site (and defintely the graphic) look kinda similar to <a href="http://www.geocities.com/ryanj07/">this</a>. I don't think you have much authority on the subject of copying ;)

The site under my profile is just a stupid one.  That's not actually the one that the graphics were from.  I have another site that is more detailed and junk.  I just made the one in my profile because it came with my e-mail.

just slapping the words "copyrighted" isn't going to actually make something yours. Sure it'll be your property but it wont stop others from using it.

you could go around and get a real-deal copyright...but thats time, prolly money, and in the end if anyne infringes, youd then have to hire a lawyer and shit.

who is old skool?
whoever actually visited niteshade.net/hh while it was open. which rules out about 99% of you punks.

Well in case any of you care, here's the story.  (:D -- I like it.)

I sent him in to Tripod (which is where he got his subdomain from) and his account was deleted.  He got really mad at me and stuff.  And then he got a new one and I sent him in again and it got deleted again. :)  That's all.
