Speaker #1 wrote a poem to close his keynote. He gave permission to the client to record the keynote. His permission did not include the rights to the poem that was distributed throughout the client's company and printed in their annual report with an anon. author.
Speaker #2 self-published a book. Whereas, she put the copyright symbol on the book she never sent it to the copyright office. Huge excerpts were used from her book in a publication. However, she could not legally do anything because she did not formally compyright her intellectual property.
Speaker #3 came up with a really captivating blog name. It was so good that a large company decided to create a website with the same name. The name of her blog was hosted by her blogging service but it was not a domain name she owned.
All of the above, and they are more, needed to protect their material.
If you need to get a cd, book, book series, or anything you have created, copywrite protected go to copyright.gov to download the correct form.
It is worth the small investment to legally be able to go after anyone on or off the web who may have used your stuff without permission.
