unless you read this entire section, you will not know what I am
talking about, at no time was we ever talking about getting
our works copyrighted....this is concerning protection for
websites found using copyright content...

you need to read all threads to understand what I am talking about.

Well, I don't think it's their purpose to teach law to lawyers, but there's a lot of info on that site.

You can have all the info you want on the site, but if you evade the actual
"how does this actually protect" rather then saying it just does, then you
end up with more questions then answers...

If you got your site registered, your first question is going to be
ok, im protected, but how...? It does not matter at this point
if the other side win's or loses, its going to court to begin with
that could financially ruin you...if i register, is dot.gov going to pay my
legal fees should some atty not care if I am registered or not?

the moral of this story is, exactly how am I protected?
If you are going to setup a site to collect money..
well I think I deserve to know, not some hot shot answer...
your just protected, that is careless, and not good enough for me.

registered or not, the chances of most sites being able to afford
going through the entire legal process is just about slim to none.
