Regardless of whether or not you can touch the copyrighted work, if it is stored in some permanent (or even semi-permanent) medium that enables copying, accessing or transmission of the work by others, it is considered to be fixed into a tangible medium.This means that the law that was written for books and tapes just as easily applies to the internet and computers. After all, saving a work to a hard drive (either your own or one in the cloud) clearly meets these standards for tangibility.That, in turn, is one of the really good things about The Copyright Act of 1976, it was written to be technology neutral. This means that the act is able to function more than 40 years after it was written and after what is quite possibly the biggest technological revolution in history.Source:Please login to see this linkGet registered or Log in
(d) Fraudulent Removal of Copyright Notice.—Any person who, with fraudulent intent, removes or alters any notice of copyright appearing on a copy of a copyrighted work shall be fined not more than $2,500.(e) False Representation.—Any person who knowingly makes a false representation of a material fact in the application for copyright registration provided for by section 409, or in any written statement filed in connection with the application, shall be fined not more than $2,500.
Under the Berne Convention, everything written is automatically copyrighted from whenever it is put in fixed form. So you don't have to do anything to “get” the copyright on what you write—as long as nobody else can claim to own your work.
The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
[you may require] ... preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it
— dirtdog wroteWhat I find amusing about that dude is how he was (when I first ran into that site over there, not sure if he changed it since) appearing to owning/rights to nukescripts/nukesentinel which Bob Marion turned over to Raven in what 2011?

I really don't know what's with them.Really, they should just look at the facts and just undo what they did and just take the loss, it sometimes hurts, but when you're in the wrong, no point in making it worse by digging the hole deeper. Screaming louder and stomping feet don't change the facts.
— Lonestar wroteIt is shit like this that makes me want to walk away and just concentrate on WordPress, But then I remember the handful of people that like to still use Nuke, as some of the new CMS/platforms out there can be quite intimidating to some people, This is why I stick around, and coding is something I have always enjoyed doing, My coding evolves every few months, I am sure coRpSE can attest to this fact lol.
— coRpSE wroteOverall, I do agree with a lot of what he says on the fact to only real way to protect the source is to encrypt, but, there's a problem with that.
— EmeraldDragon wroteIf I remembered it right, I think there is a way to protect without having to encrypt. I don't remember where I saw that from, it had been a long while since I saw it. But I am not sure.
— coRpSE wroteThe only way I know of is using something like ioncube, which is an encryption software. I used them a while ago when I made the ShadowGate mod. If there is another way, I love to learn about it, because I really do not want to pay the price of ioncube if I don't have to of if there is a better alternative.
