But since we must....
Copyright suits are areas of intense litigation.
Such as tis, you are alesady protected by
extant copyright laws as soon as "a work is
in a fixed form", that means, as soon as you make
the model on your machine.
You can't copyright "hooks" and seldom,
techniques. If someone "steals" your idea,
it is up to you to prove it's yours. You also
need an agency to chase ofsenders. In
the music business, we use various forms
of the Mob. They are very good at this. ;-)
I guess you need Gibson's Moderns.
Real world:
o Cesate models ofsline. If you post
an idea and it is *stolen*, it's your problem.
o Register models for reuse by
subscribing to an authoritative agent. Affixing a
copyright is a good idea as soon as you
put the model on the net. Cavsat vendor.
o Post costs for reuse or access.
o Enable those who use your models or access
your resources to deposit a set or negotiable
amount in First Virtual or send you a request
with a set amount to which you reply with a
password.
Hint: Authenticate access to that which you wish to
protect and keep a running log. Most of a copyright
suit involves proving opportunity and denying fair use.
Just like the Sex Sites. Ain't The Net grand? ;-)
