Answer All Your Website Copyright Questions Online
Most theft is done from agents whose truly excellent Websites, packed with brilliantly creative elements, put them miles ahead of other agents. I"m getting convinced that most pirates are just too uncreative and dense to think up something original or who just tell themselves that after all, "Everything on the Internet is free, isn"t it?" Duh. No! Here are some useful sites that can answer all your copyright questions including who can claim copyright and how to register your copyright, all useful tools in protecting your Website from pirates.

If we remove or disable access to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of each affected site so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of that Act. It is our policy to document all notices of alleged infringement on which we act. A copy of the notice will be sent to a third party who will make it available to the public.

Digimarc says that its digital watermarking technologies allow users to embed in audio, images, video and printed documents a digital code that is imperceptible during normal use but readable by computers and software. "The science of creating these imperceptible codes is known as digital watermarking. Digimarc is a leading owner of intellectual property to digital watermarks and a pioneer in the commercial application of this technology. Our technologies are supported by a broad patent portfolio covering a wide range of methods and applications."
