<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2285645, member: 15588&quot;]The copyright symbol isn&#039;t technically legally binding because anyone can put a copyright symbol on anyone else&#039;s picture and claim it for their own. But the post above was basically correct. Copyright is valid from the moment of creation - with or without a copyright symbol. But, if you&#039;re fearing lawsuits or infringement, you have to prove that you&#039;re the original copyright holder and the best way to do that is to register the photo(s) with the US copyright office --&gt; <a href="http://copyright.gov/eco/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://copyright.gov/eco/" rel="nofollow">http://copyright.gov/eco/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The last time I looked (which was a little while ago) the process was not free, it involved paperwork and also took some time. Most people choose not to follow the process due to the hassle and many feel that the chance of infringement doesn&#039;t outweigh the effort of going through the registration process, but that will vary by situation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
