Go to the Geek Culture Board, and type "Copyright" in the search box. You'll get about 16 threads.

Anything you make is automatically copyrighted, however for it to stand in court you should print it, mail it to yourself (to get a thirdparty time/date stamp) and not open it.

John Y: You're 100% right & this works for text, books, music & whatever you create...

copyright
copyrighted

leaving out the gory details of a former debate on these forums there is no valid form of the word copyright with "write", "written" etc etc. Just thought I'd post that and cut off any potential debates about it at the knees.

50 years. But if you are talking about applications, copyright and patent is a minefield. Don't assume that copyright protects your work.
