Hello everyone! I'm technically not a newbie, in years (I've been fiddling with AM since... since... since before it was called AM--anyone remember Playmation? I think I still have the floppies around here somewhere...) but never really had time to learn it. It's been really fun watching it evolve over the years into the powerful program it is today. I'm eagerly awaiting that magical upgrade that will make it super-easy for a brain-dead wanna-be animator like me, heheh.

As soon as you put "Copyright blah blah blah" on your work, it's copywritten. You do not need to register or anything. However, registering and going through the formal process gives you greater legal protection. In this particular case, it doesn't sound like you need to go that far--you just don't want people selling your work, but I don't believe that a huge sum of money is at stake if they do.
