Copyrights Are Quick and Easy To Make There are only four simple components you need to include: The copyright symbol © or the word ?copyright? The name of the copyright owner or author of the work. The year the content was published, which can be different from the year of creation.

Which form should I use? Online registration through the electronic Copyright Office (eCO) is the preferred way to register basic claims. Paper versions of Form TX (literary works); Form VA (visual arts works); Form PA (performing arts); Form SR (sound recordings) are available on the Copyright Office website.

Works that no longer attract copyright protection are said to be in the public domain, and you are free to use them without restriction. That includes no restrictions on copying and adapting, no need to seek permission, and no uncertainty about your rights as a user.

Can I get a copyright for free? If you are a creator looking to obtain copyright for your creations, you may be surprised to learn that you automatically gain copyright for your original creative works from the moment that work is "fixed in a tangible form of expression."

How can I copyright my own writing? In the US, your work is automatically copyrighted as soon as it is put in "tangible" form, such as writing it down or creating an electronic version of it. To ensure that you have the fullest protection available, you need to register your works with the US Copyright Office.
