Obtaining the copyright for your newly complete manuscript is an essential part of protecting your work. Once you have gotten the rights to your creation, you are free to start setting up your book copyright page!

  2. o_O Oooh my love affair with copyrights… I realize that it’s all a somewhat false sense of security. It’s copyrighted because we put it to print. We can *register* the copyright with the government for more “protection”… But books get pirated every day. Characters are hijacked all the time (as I know personally, and sometimes it seems like other writers “shop” at my blog for character names, with “Oh I couldn’t help it, my muse told me to use your character names.”)…
    So I know that when it comes down to it, my beloved copyright is not much good unless I have an expensive attorney at my back.
    Yet I still get my copyrights registered. I’m still proud each time. They’re my badges of honor in a way.
    Thanks for sharing this info, dear Ape. Mega hugs.
