What is a copyright?
"Copyright" literally means the right to copy. Copyright is an internationally accepted form of intellectual property law protecting authors' rights to their creations.
Your new software, shockwave files or java scripts have copyrights the instant that you save your file for the first time. However, because you can easily change the date on most computers before you save your files, you cannot rely on the date generated as an credible date-stamp for your copyrights.

The US Library of Congress defines "Literary Works" as follows: |

Arts page). |

Ideally, before you make it publicly available. Read more
