Can you just copyright something as easily as that?
I’m truly curious,not objecting to anything.
Yeah, that is all it takes for a simple copyright.
Defending and enforcing it is another matter alltogether.
First time I’ve ever seen a copyrighted screed ‘published as a post on FR though.
Yes, you can copyright something simply by stating that it is copyrighted.
Since the whole area of original content is brand new on FreeRepublic, I am sure that we will develop a standard wording. My purpose in writing the attribution section was so that:
1)FR is not blamed for my opinions and 2)FR is attributed as the source site, which is one of the purposes of the original content category.
