If you click through to Angie’s post you will see that the Zen Habits and The Simple Dollar bloggers have stated their reasons for placing their work in the public domain there. Suffice to say that blog blogs are HUGELY popular and receive hundreds of thousand of hits every day.

If you aren’t inclined to place your work in the public domain then you may find my latest post to be of interest to you How to copyright your digital works.

I like your blog and particularly enjoyed your thought provoking post, so I was delighted to link to it and see if we can increase awareness of copyright and public domain issues within the blogging community, as well as, securing feedback.
Best wishes for happy blogging

I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that what you suggest Ian has already happened. It seems that these days sploggers are rampant. Therefore for the blogger to whom copyright protection is important it makes sense to act and let everyone know where they stand.

Once you have created anything in tangible form, it has a copyright and is automatically protected under the internationally accepted Berne Convention copyright agreement. In the past this was usually enough however, now that billions of us are publishing online, if you find someone using your work, how do you prove, “This is my creation, and these are my terms?”

My Free Copyright creates a public historical record matching you, your copyright, and its terms of use. This registration is verifiable in a court of law and allows you to prove, “I created that on this date.”

Some countries require registration with their jurisdiction in order to receive additional entitlements beyond actual damages in an infringement case. Registration with most jurisdictions can be a lengthy and costly process but MyFreeCopyright.com provides an instant public date registration of your original digital creation and protects your rights while other options are investigated. After registering with MyFreeCopyright.com, you can seek the advice of a professional in your jurisdiction to determine the best course of action for your situation.

The MyFreeCopyright services are thus available for those who do want to write a book (ebook) in the future and include text from their earlier blog posts in it.

Thanks for the visit and comment. I hope you are keeping well. :)

Yes, indeed this is a disturbing fact and an eye opener for sure. Any blogger, who does intend to write a book (ebook) that contains their blog posts is best served by licensing their work and posting an appropriate international Copyright policy and/or notice.

Thanks for dropping “the bomb” lol :P
