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.

Dear Sir,
you will not be paid for any article found on our private membership only website. However, at your request any article you have written and can prove authoriship and online copy denial to will be promptly
removed.
Please note, you may be charged a significant fee for accessing this privately owned website without permission from the admin. You have already admitted to accessing the private information on our website. All the articles there are provided at no cost to the private membership once they are approved for said membership. You are not an approved member.
As a published writer myself I am keenly aware of publiction rights and copyright. If you found an article on our site that is not publicly accessible, please provide your copyright information from the website in which this article is published. I will require a link that is accessible to verify your website copyright information. Otherwise, all information on the web is publicly accessible unless otherwise noted. Once you have provided this specific copyright information denying public access or reproduction of your article, such article will be permanently removed from our website.
Thank you and kindest regards,

Administrator,

p.s. exactly HOW did you obtain access to the Dreamery? Since it is a private membership website ONLY and membership is strictly by approval, I would be very interested.
Dear sir,
at the time any article is posted to our website, there is no available information preventing reprinting or useage. Any article we post or allow to be posted must not state that copying is forbidden or emailing publicly is not allowed. We attempt to always steer clear of copyrighted information but again, copyrighted information should never be made available on a PUBLIC DOMAIN. To do so clearly compromises the point and terms of the copyright. We always give author information WHEN it is available. If it not available but becomes so later, it will be added when discovered.
I am fully aware, as an internet writer, that ALL material published online is publicly available for online reproduction and personal useage. You cannot COPYRIGHT for specfic internet use any article you have published on a PUBLIC DOMAIN. In order to obtain the money you feel is due for your article, you must submit it to an official publications editor, have it accepted and THEN charge them your writers fee for production. OR, alternately, if you wish to recoup your writing expenses you may also assign a non public status to your website and charge a fee to obtain membership. You can also add a feature than makes right clicking to copy uanavailable to the internet user on your site. Have you done any of these things?
Even copyrighted articles of news on a public domain cannot be disputed for reprint on the web. WHY? Think it over carefully. Hundreds, thousands and yes, millions of people peruse and reprint from publicly accessible websites every day. It is NOT legal to charge one party for perusing or copying publicly available material but not the hundreds or thousands of others who have accessed and copied it. Therefore, assign your website a non public domain status and assess a private membership fee. Make right clicking for copy an unavailable feature. Otherwise your argument is but a silly puff of smoke.
I have had literally, hundreds of reprints of my publicly available, award winning articles copied to various sites throughout the world. I do not attempt to obtain a fee from any of those sites. Legally, it is impossible. Morally, it is ridiculous. You print your material online to benefit the public and allow them to learn without fee from your experience. Thousands of online users will copy, print and give out publicly available articles every single day. To attempt to charge one private site or one private person when hundreds or thousands of others went uncharged is immoral and unethical. "Freely you were given, freely therefore...give."
I think you need to look at your greedy mindset and reconsider why you placed that information in the first place on a public domain and allowed it to be accessible. You are at failure here. If you have corrected these mistakes, our site was unaware of it until now.
From this point forward you will receive no response, I am blocking you. You will also be permanently banned from my private membership website which you were never invited onto. Your access there was illegal to begin with. I have never charged anyone to access our site but simply wished to reveal to you precisely how devious and money hungry you really are. Shame on you. I have now removed from my private website all references to any information you placed in any public domain for public perusal. How about you? Still searching for people to sue who actually read or copied your online information provided?
Lawsuit hungry? Go ahead. Your lawyer will enjoy absorbing the fees which will cost you more than you are illegally attempting to charge our website. I will gladly provide evidence your article has been copied on several other sites. If you fail to sue and charge them, you will be liable to me legally. At which time, I will add harrassment charges. If you are able to get ANY judge to consider this online reprint issue on a public domain you will be very fortunate. Even major news firms cannot win reprint suits on publicly available domains. Go blow your smoke elswhere sir and consider your own soul before you condemn mine.
Perhaps you should get on with your life and instead of dwelling on the things you did in the past to benefit others, move forward into the things you can do NOW. That is your goal as a christian, correct?
