How Does My Free Copyright Protect Me?

January 31st, 2007

You already know the Internet is a great way for you to show others your original creations. But did you know that millions may be viewing your work and thinking someone else made it? That’s right…that’s because there’s some unscrupulous people out there stealing your work and calling it their own; sometimes even making tons of money…but never sharing the cash with you!

What would you do if you found out someone used your work without permission? How could you even prove the work is yours? These are all great questions and luckily you discovered My Free Copyright—helping protect your creations.

Never before has it been so easy to create and share your original creations and copyright protection needs to be taken seriously by anyone who doesn’t want their work stolen. So how do you protect your work in this digital world?

Did you know if your copyright is infringed, a notice to the infringer to work out arrangements for copyright removal, recognition, or royalties works for the majority of copyright infringement occurrences? This is beneficial for both parties because the author gets credit and royalties and the would be infringer gets the work they wanted and a contact for more work. You also get to avoid the painstakingly long and expensive court battle. Notifying the infringer is also recommended because with most copyright laws, the infringer can be held unaccountable for the infringement if they can prove they did not know they were infringing. By displaying the My Free Copyright Registered & Protected logo in all locations you display your original creations and notifying the infringer when an infringement occurs guarantees that they will be held accountable.

The real trick in today’s times is to be able to prove you are the copyright owner and when you created it. My Free Copyright provides you with a verifiable dated record associating your copyright, you, and your terms of use. Once registered, you can use the My Free Copyright logo to deter infringers and act as your first level of defense. If an infringement should occur, you can use the My Free Copyright registration to prove to the infringer you are the owner and what you would like them to do. In the United States if notifying the infringer did not resolve the recognition or royalties you require and you need to go to a court of law, you are Required to register with the United States Copyright Office before you can file for a litigation trial. Filing for the registration costs $45 For the U.K. and most of Europe along with South America, the registration you receive from My Free Copyright may be enough to represent you and prove you are the copyright owner in a court of law. See a professional in your jurisdiction before moving into a litigation trial in a court of law.
