Vesting of copyright is automatic. You may, however, file a copy with the National Library for evidentiary purposes. The problem with the situations mentioned is the establishment of ownership and date of creation. Note, the law recognizes the possibility of “work” independently created but similar.

If anyone has any questions to clarify the matter, i’d be glad to help.

They are correct. Anything you create digitally are automatically copyrighted to you, especially those that you put online the Internet.

Copyright’s main basis is the recording of “dates” and “times” then it goes on from there (ie additional rules and guidelines [dates and times alone can be easily faked]).

Anything that you create non-digitally, you have to at least copyright it via the legal offices, IPO or the National Library for example. Simply holding a hard written copy (example) is highly questionable, anyone can do that very easily. Example, you wouldn’t believe me if I say that I had encounters of songs, brilliant ideas, and the likes having obviously been taken from me even if I show an old paper where I first wrote those down

But as many IP experts say, it is always better to literally apply for copyright, trademark, and patent. Dont just rely on the fact that “its automatically yours”. Papers always win 99% over those who do not have legal papers, even though the whole universe knows you are the legal owner.

[...] Lately there has been news that local newspapers and tv shows were using pictures that are owned by bloggers and they do not cite them as sources. This is a disgrace to those thieves. If you are a victim, then I suggest you read these tips when your copyrighted materials are used without your permission. [...]

When you provide something online, it’s already copyrighted.

For me, link love or a mention of my name would be ayt.

I wonder if those media people who used Disneycute’s photos of the Glorietta bombing credited him. I’ve seen some online publications who did, but how about the rest?

if you produce an original work, it is automatically copyrighted to you. That said, in this (digital) age, we should be explicit on how we want our material used. Creative Commons is a good way to make this known. And we already have a philippine version of CC.

Don’t forget Coy’s video (and voice) being used by ANC’s Media in Focus without proper attribution.

And they say that the new media is killing off traditional tri-media. WTH??!

@randell - You can use Creativecommons.org badge for that or a © logo on your blog. I notice your have one below. So I thinks it’s automatically copyright protected.

I’m I right, anyone? [not sure about my answer]
