In fact, you have copyright even when you don't claim it. The interpretation of the law runs this way: from the time the creator of something picks up his or her pen, copyright in in force. (Yes, you can go to Washington and file a paper and pay a fee, but that's necessary only in unusual circumstances.)
You can put a copyright notice on anything you write--reports, ads, newsletters. The notice gives you protection under the law, thus discouraging pirates and copiers.
Does anyone know about this?
When he says, "the interpretation of the law", does he mean his interpretation or the government's interpretation?
