Hi evryone,
I just finished my online portfolio and was about to upload it. Instead I've decided to ask about copyrighting. I f anyone knows anything on the subject please shed some light on the subject.
Thanks in advance_

mmmm... donuts...
As said, you can rely on the copyright legislation for protection by stating the (c) clause...
If you think you are likely to be ripped off and really need to protect the work then you certainly can lodge designs, etc.. Try looking here, it fully explains copyright/trademarks/designs/etc:

i was always told that a sig on ur work was all u needed. But validating it through the p.o service sounds more legit. But i do know that copyright laws are different for each country, so what might hold up in one place, might not do so in another. Same goes for patents. U can get national or international. International is hella expensive. But just imagine the cost for a universal patent. That would b ****loads.
Copyright is automatic in Australia.
Posting to yourself is a way of providing proof if that copyright is challenged.
Adding the funny c is (I Believe) needed in England
The US has the most different of the copyright laws as they would not sign the international agreements.
My spelling prob sucks as Im drunk as a monky as I type this.
You all get no donuts, they are mine I am the l33t donut eater.W00t!

Hi Tomcat,
whenever you create anything at all you automatically have copyright protection under Australian law.
Even so, it is best to label items that you beleive are commercially exploitable, eg. (c) Copyright 2003 Tomcat
