copyright? Are you saying that your work is copyrighted? its supposed to be your own and if you are posting your own work then there shouldnt be any issues.
Anything original you create is automatically copyrighted under us law. the problem you get into is proving you created it. the best way for the do-it-yourself person is to mail it to yourself so it's postmarked in a sealed envelope. then you need to store it someplace safe. just placing it in a safe deposit box doesn't do much for you. having the postmark shows an "official" date.
also, make sure you include something on your images stating it's your copyright. i think i posted some stuff on here where i had done that. just put copyright, the symbol, the year, and who owns it. most of the time just your name. ex. copyright (c) 2002 photography by
that's the one i use.
if it's really an issue, maybe a popup window when you enter the forum that states all work is copyrighted by their respective owners and to contact the original poster of the thread for info on using said work.
can we right click protect this forum? not much protection, but a deterrent for the not so computer inclined.
