Register your copyrights.  Without registration, your rights and remedies 
are pretty much worthless since you have to plead and prove actual damages, 
which is nearly impossible to do.  But with registered copyrights, you can 
avail yourself of statutory damages plus attorneys fees.  This can 
substantially aid you in settling a claimed infringement.

Read "Do I Need to Register My Copyrights?" on my site.  Click on "Articles 
for Writers and Publishers."

You can also read the articles on the link "Articles About e-THICS."
