Quoted from Blackbeard:You cant claim any of this until they've been copywrited. So until that happens, who cares.
I.e. You can't claim copy write infringement until there is a copywrite to infringe upon
100% untrue.

Quoted from Blackbeard:Has copywrite been assigned to this material?
The moment it is written, the writer owns the copy.
Quoted from Blackbeard:Pretty sure The writer needs to register his material to claim copywrite rights
You are pretty wrong. Copyright is an official proof of ownership, but it's not the act of claiming ownership.
You own what you create the moment you create it.
Quoted from Blackbeard:but until you register it, I don't believe a court would entertain anything
Also, untrue.
Quoted from tamoore:Also, untrue.
I mean, it's true that you believe it, but it's not true in reality. 
Quoted from Blackbeard:Lol
Gotcha.
Like I said I'm no expert. Just what I've read.
Hopefully clay doesn't come knocking at my door with a summons
Someone would have to want to spend a lot of money to want to take you down, really...
The real reason you wouldn't distribute the material is because you respected the guy who 'owns' it, and he asked you not to. Other than that, there's probably no real risk.
I'm a songwriter, and I've recorded a couple of albums. I have a friend who likes my songs, and he was kind of upset that he couldn't find any of them on torrents. He asked me if he could put up a torrent with my music. I said that I'd rather he not. If he did anyway, there's nothing I could do about it, but he respects me enough not to do it. See? 
Quoted from Magic_Mike:This is false. Before it goes into public domain, you have to register it's copyright. You just can't slap a © on whatever.
If someone steals it, you will have to provide proof that it was yours.
I had to hire a copyright lawyer several years ago. I speak from experience.
You have no idea. really.
Quoted from Magic_Mike:You sure do say, "I believe" a lot!
I know you're wrong...
Quoted from Magic_Mike:Lay off whatever you're drinking in your Avatar.
I have legal established ownership. I can legally send out a C&D to anybody who steals my registered material as well as take them to court for theft and damages.
If this material wasn't in public domain, I would have not wasted my time to register it.
I did this to prevent a company I used to work for from using my work as theirs, without my permission.
You have legal established ownership the moment you create any original work. It really can't be said any simpler than that.
