Philliph:
Its not just me, i have a few friends(and a close-to-done author friend) who are looking to get things copyrighted so they can start forums.

Where would we go and how would we copyright something? Help please.

meg_evonne:
?? more details??  copyright a forum?  or copyright what you publish online?

Philliph:
i dont exactly know, i think he wants to copyright what isn't published yet so he can make a forum for the people who already care. Hes making a videogame, but not necessarily on the making part yet. he's writing the script and only working on the modeling in his other 'me' time. We have a team of ten people so far, including me. would we need 'x' amount of pages completed before he can do it, or can he just go in with what he has and get it copyrighted in the unsaid place?

7 in the morning. fuzzy thinking.

CSDylan:
I'm confused. You want to copyright a video game that isn't even past the drafting phase so that you can make a forum for the people working on it? Why not just make the forum, you don't need a copyright for that just use a password you only give it to the people on staff.
Now if you talking about getting a copyright so you can post it on a public forum then you're kind of SOL because someone could still steal it.

It may be off tangent from the OP, but I'm kinda interested in this also.

To jumpstart my writing again and keep me focused, I started posting whole chapters of my book online as I write them. Trying to get feedback from a few friends of mine who live out of state. I'm wondering, how concerned should I be about copyright here. I'm the intellectual property owner as they say in legal speak, but I've not copyrighted any of it or put any disclaimers on my website as such. For legal purposes and to avoid having someone plagiarize or rip me off - is this something I should do? And if so, can someone link me where I should look for the proper steps I should take.

I kinda get the idea that this is what the OP is looking for as well.
