Site Copyright
Hi,
How do I get a registered copyright for my site? I want something that is legal and will be honored in a court (if that has to happen).
Thanks,

Be careful about copyrights
Holding a copyright just gives you the right to protect something. The business world is full of rip offs that continued just because the guy or gal who owned a copyright didn't have the money to chase the thief down in court.
It isn't uncommon to steal something from someone, make money off if it, and then fold if and when the poor sucker has spent tens of thousands of dollars in court fees just to win a worthless judgement.
Getting a judgement is easy. Collecting it is often impossible.

This site might help too. http://www.benedict.com/
If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.
