"registration is not a condition of copyright protection"
- mokus 15y ago"Copyright is given de facto, but" ... If you're going to imply someone isn't reading what they wrote, the least you can do is read what they wrote.
- dfc 15y agoTrue. I apologize for coming off like a jerk. I should have provided more context, i was trying to highlight that contrary to what the OP wrote that is was irrelevant "they never show that the text was copyrighted."
- tylerritchie 15y agoI didn't disagree with the, "they never show that the text was copyrighted." But I did think it reasonable to point out that there is--in fact--a place to register your works for a registered copyright. You don't have to, but it does give you nice benefits.
- rhizome 15y agoI think it might just be bad wording. One of the requirements of notification for copyright infringement is to identify the specific instances of infringement.
- jfarmer 15y agoActually, it's not de facto, it's the opposite: de jure.
- tylerritchie 15y agoAgreed, poor choice of words on my part. I was using it colloquially as concerning legal matters, which was inaccurate.
- jfarmer 15y agoIt was more a reply to mokus, who chided you for being wrong even though you were technically (albeit unknowingly) correct. ;)
