Don’t Steal by Uncleweed Last week I posted a blog about my experience sending a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice to Google.

When I first noticed that another blogger had taken a photo from my blog and posted it on her site, one of my friends asked me why I sent a DMCA takedown notice instead of just sending her an email. That’s a valid question, and an option I considered.  I chose to… [read post]

Library of Congress by ctj71081 from Flickr – Where your work goes when you register it with the U.S. Copyright Office. I’ve been a proponent of registering your copyright in your blog every three months. The federal Copyright Act states you must register the copyright in your blog within three months of publication or one month of learning of the infringement, whichever happens first. So every three months (March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st) I have a note on my… [read post]
