Copyright Law: 12 Dos and Don’ts – Click the title link and find 12 Do’s and Dont’s that will clarify what you can and what you can not do as an online publisher.
As the blogging phenomenon expands, copyright concerns become quite important. Technology makes it really easy to copy, modify and share information, whether we talk about text, images, audio or video. The problem is that the vast majority of people do not have a clear understanding of the Copyright Law, which might result in illegal and costly mistakes.

MyFreeCopyright provides a third-party, non-repudiation, registered dating of your original digital creation. By using this service, you publicly associate your digital copyright and defined rights to you.
So, how does MyFreeCopyright date register my copyright? Every digital file has a unique makeup of bits and bytes which is its fingerprint.

This email is your date registered copyright proof and protection for your copyright.)

MyFreeCopyright stores the fingerprint as well, which allows you and others to return to this service and verify the copyright.

I have no further help to offer you. All I know is what I have published. I think if you need more help than this that you will have to consult an lawyer who specializes in copyright law.
I do have a case of my blog being translated into Mandarin which escape the spider crawl. No how does this help?
Thanks and regards.

I saw it on your blog. :D
Great tips. One of which I recently put into play myself. :)
Timethief – I’m a new-newbie, 60 + yrs, but only 6 weeks blogging. For the past few weeks, I’ve been following your blogging helps & hints, (promoting/increase traffic), but now I’m looking for wording to put on a page, that I haven’t created yet, probably to be called, Copyright/Disclaimer/etc, or something like that. And I’ve noticed a few of these type pages that seem to be the same – yours & the sacred path – ? Is that wording available some where / some how; as it seems to cover what I’d like to say. (or maybe it’s copyrighted and I can’t use it?) thanks, Kate
You’re welcome. :)
Thanks! Great tips :D
