Copyright law protects the author/owner of a creative work from unauthorized use or copying. Creative work includes literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, source code, web sites, advertising, photography, paintings, and musical recordings.
- The relatively inexpensive cost of registering a copyright far outweighs the damage that can be done by an infringer.
- Put people on notice the the work belongs to you. This can deter others from copying your valuable work.
