How to create copyright for published on the Internet?

Question

Copyright

How do I create a copyright for some intellectual property that I'm about to put on the Internet?
For example, let it be a photograph or some documentation

Answer 1

Copyright cannot be created. They arise on their own :)
I wrote a tiny script in three lines :) And as soon as I finished it - both, suddenly I have copyright on it - I can put a copyright sign in the comments and write
Copyrights are inalienable . That is, they cannot be transferred, sold, donated - they belong to you simply because they belong ("I fight because I fight").
But as a rule, many people have mess in their heads and they confuse inalienable copyrights (which give the right to be called the author, put their last name on the title, etc.) and property rights - the very ones for which the Barin of All Russia Mikhalkov is fighting so hard. You can't make money on copyrights, but property rights - they can cost money and a lot of money ...
It is unlikely that you think "how to make the world know that I am the author of this publication." You are more likely to think "how to make it so that I can make money on this publication." If the latter, then it is easier to sell the non-exclusive right to publish to some journal, because you yourself will have to register with some patent office, etc. - it may turn out - suddenly - paid :) It is necessary to sensibly evaluate - the profit from the publication "as is" and the profit from the publication and protection. If the costs of protection are significant - maybe, well, what for?

Answer 2

In fact, you don't need to protect anything.
It is enough to somehow mark it in a conspicuous place so that on the use of the material it would be possible to agree on options for interaction with you. There are situations that the author's name is spelled out, or mail or domain does not work, or there are no coordinates at all. Or there are coordinates, but in hidden places that only the algorithm can recognize. Sometimes there are knockers on the scripts, often the knockers are hidden.
We are all human if a person is working on a mass publication. Or a person is simply running his unpopular tnmatic blog. One way or another, all illustrations that are taken from other resources leave a link (under the illustration or at the end of the publication) - such regulation does not require manual processing of each request.
Moreover, each eternal link to your resource is a reputation brick for search engines.
Well, no one wants to argue and fight. It's easier to do everything without violating agreements. And vice versa, it is also easier to score on all schoolchildren who remove copyright from illustrations, undress scripts, cutting out links to the author. They can't harm you in any way. They will not be your competitors. Your clients and those people for whom these students work will never intersect. It's easier to score on them than to think about how to harm them.
Normal people whose circle of interaction intersects with yours will most likely not use your material, or agree with you.

Answer 3

In my article about naming, there is a similar issue of protecting (creating) copyright for a certain creative, content: https://spark.ru/startup/toque-advertising/blog/28...
In short, there are two useful services for you help: OnlinePatent (Onlinepatent.ru) and CopyTrust (Copytrust.ru). In your case, the second service will be more useful.

Answer 4

Register with the Patent Office, Rosreestr, Sports Loto, Union of Cinematographers, etc.
But in fact, this process is simple and inexpensive compared to the subsequent pursuit of pirates - it was many times easier for Sharik from Prostokvashino with a photo gun.

Answer 5

In most countries on this planet, the author's monopoly on creative works, unlike, for example, the patent monopoly of the inventor (which you for some reason mentioned in the tags to the question; edited), arises upon the creation (writing) of the work without any statements and in general any - any action on either side.
If the author has not explicitly or implicitly assigned exclusive property copyrights to someone else, then they belong to him. Explicitly - understandably, and the most important way of implicit assignment of exclusive rights is under an employment contract - in relation to works written as part of work.
And "intellectual property" is an oxymoron.

Answer 6

all the comments are so "smart" in quotation marks, only they didn't answer the question asked by the author, they didn't help in fact, but they just amused each of their Ego ...
