When and how should you to reg­is­ter a copyright?

What is “Fair Use?”

What are the dif­fer­ences between copy­right, trade­mark, ser­vice mark, and Registered Trademark?

What should you do if some­one infringes on your copyright?

Are you vio­lat­ing some­one else’s copy­right right now?

The answers to these ques­tions might sur­prise you.

Certainly, if you rely on the Web to answer them you’re oper­at­ing under mis­con­cep­tions that could cost you money, your rights, your rep­u­ta­tion, your entire busi­ness, even your freedom.
