Thinking of writing an ebook? Or creating a commercial script or software program?

Time to get down and dirty with copyrights.

I was surprised at how simple the process is to register and secure your copyright. Even from Canada, I can choose to protect my work with a copyright registered in the U.S. by downloading & submitting the form from the U.S. Copyright Office, pay a small fee (U.S. copyright fees) and boom! there it is. Recognized by several countries too.

I picked up a handy little book to keep at my side for reference:

The Pocket Idiot’s Guide to Copyrights (not an aff link)

Very clear explanations and although not a definitive guide, it does help you sort through the tangley web of copyright protection and do’s and don’ts.

The book is easy to read and understand too ;).
