Is there any Legal information I should put on a page to legally protect its
content? Copyright info, etc? The page is currently an "online-brochure" for
the company, but will eventually contain testing materials...
Thanks! Merry Christmas!!

As soon as you push it to the web it is protected by copyright (at least in
the US). You can also add the "(C) Copyright Company Name 2005" to the page
as further reminder.

Bullsh!t to the first mistaken assumption and correct to the second noting
the US Copyrgith office published the requirements for a valid declaration
but says little to nothing about the way the corrupt courts actually
function.

As for this bullsh!t being spread around, it is correct an item is
considered copyrighted as soon as its "date reduced to practice" but it need
not be "public" in the context most of us mistakenly assume public to be
interpreted as those spreading the manure infer or otherwise lead the
ignorati to mistakenly believe.

Furthermore, if the copyright is not registered and done so within 90 days
of its date reduced to practice the holder of the copyright will not be
allowed to even enter the courts with regard to the former and once having
entered the courts and presumed to have won their complaint would not be
granted certain remedies such as penalties and lawyer's fees with regard to
the latter.

I've been through this and learned the hard way.

Finally, given the fact that any of us '"peons" have actually been properly
informed and have followed all of the rules in a timely manner the costs of
entering a federal court to defend a copyright becomes outrageous. So much
so that it is really out of reach for most of us.

A lawyer can be hired to send a cease and desist form letter out to an
infringer for several hundred dollars but after that justice is not to be
had by or for most of us.

I can think of few other subjects that generate as much disinformation as
that of copyright.

If your intent is to be able to defend your copyright in a court of law
should the need ever arise, you MUST, and I mean you absolutely MUST register
the work in question with the copyright office. Regardless of what you may
read here or elsewhere, there is simply no other way.
