[SOLVED] Whats the best way to copyright scripted work?

[Dogboys]

As I might be releasing something I defintely want some copy right to go along with my script so what do you guys use for whenever you guys release something?

 

Thanks. Also I tried google and got copyright.gov but that doesn't seem to copyright scripts only like visual things (IE. Books, videos, pictures, digital pictures, etc.).

International copyright law dictates that you automatically have copyright to everything you create unless you explicitly forfeit that right by e.g. releasing it to public domain.

Are you serious? I never knew this.

 

Well assuming for instance I uploaded my script that became popular on a server (Hypothetically of course) so then the server provider takes the script.

 

Would that be illegal in that sceanario? Because is the server considered private or public? Of course only the server can normally see the script and whoever could log into the account that can view it.

if you are paying a host for the server space it is YOUR space. As long as you stay within there TOS.

Okay thanks. I understand it much better now.

Although...it's pretty hard to enforce copyright on scripts.  You aren't able to just look at code unless you gain the right server access, and even if you did, it's pretty easy to alter script enough to keep from infringing copyright.  That's why people attempt to obfuscate and encrypt script files.
