  1. 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.

  2. 4) by puting a copywrite on my package do that imply i am in the process of getting it copywrited and

    prevent others from sellin it (at the same time making it MY PROPERTY)

    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.

     

    When is my work protected?

    Your work is under copyright protection the moment it is created and fixed in a tangible form that it is perceptible either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.

     

    Do I have to register with your office to be protected?

    No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section “Copyright Registration.”

     

    You can read more at http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html.

     

    Hope that helps.
