How do I copyright my hubs - I am posting a serialized version of an original work and would like to know how to protect it and the other hubs please...is there some kind of notice to attach?
Thanks so much
Your work is copy written as soon as you write it. You can copyright works individually or in collections. You can use the date you publish here as your copyright date if you wish. The ladies have given good links to go to.
But, once you publish something it is copyrighted to you. You can also go here:
http://creativecommons.org/
The only thing that officially copyrighting your work gives you, I believe, is the ability to sue for additional monetary damages -- or something like that. I know it has something to do with money and the courts.
Thanks so much all - so it is the same as songwriting - the copyright exists as of the date the work is created - but I can register it with /at one of those links.
I will check out the links, and thanks again.
How will I know if someone has snitched my work, btw - how does one search for that info and where?
Most common way to learn of copyright infringement is through word of mouth; at least in my experience.

I've sent three emails and a certified letter to a website owner who has stolen one of my Hubs, following the DMCA protocol to a T. (I got the vital stats and a postal address from Who Is.) All with no response from the website owner. My next move is to contact the ISP, who is clearly stated...

HubPages is very firm in their rule to only use photos for which you have permission to use. Hypothetically, what happens if you break this rule? I've seen many people using images that are clearly not theirs to use and I was just wondering if this affects them in any way...

Another question regarding HubPages protocal and general legalities...How do we know if an image is copyrighted? Is it imperative that we use sites like freefoto.com or use only our own pictures, or can we include pictures saved or linked from, for instance, a google image search? This...
