Generally, on the net, anything you create is automatically copyrighted under chapter 1, section 101 of the copyright laws and protected under chapter 5, section 512. In chapter 1, section 101... among many other things, you can find this statement:<P>A work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time; where a work is prepared over a period of time, the portion of it that has been fixed at any particular time constitutes the work as of that time, and where the work has been prepared in different versions, each version constitutes a separate work.<P>However, since there's a lot of stupid people out there, every site should have a copyright notice. = )<P>------------------

In most countries, you don't need a copyright notice to retain copyright.<P>So, unless you want to <B>allow</B> copying under certain term, you don't need any notice.<P>Of course, a notice doesn't hurt. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"><P>I'm not a lawyer.<P>------------------
