Depending on what country you are in, it would probably help to register the information (or website code or whatever) with the appropriate copyright agency in your government. It will probably never be used, but if and when you needed to bring charges against someone for violating that copyright, it's registered. If it's unregistered, it's possibly harder to prove violation. By registering with your government , it essentially creates a verified copy with a time/date as to when it was registered (not when it was created necessarily, but when the government agency registered it). Hopefully you'll never need to use it, and most people don't bother with registration. If you think your content is valuable enough, then by all means register with your government's copyright agency. It may save you a bundle in the future. In either case, you can still display the copyright mark immediately. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
