wow, nice one james

Well I guess they panicked and flipped out when I wrote them a very strict email. 30min after I sent them an email, they cleared out their entire forum. Now its blank with nothing on it.

I suggest you put watermark on the video and a disclaimer

[Soultrader]

hmm watermark sounds like a good idea. Anyone good with adobe photoshop?

[TinGull]

Sure. Want me to do one up?

[Soultrader]

Yea I would love that. Something I can put at the bottom right corner of the videos. I played around with word trying to make a watermark text but they turned out extremely ugly.

I'm not surprised Soul. Just make sure you have a good letter ready to go, preferably from an attorney.

People will do just about anything on the internet to make a few bucks, incl taking anything from another site.

If you do the videos in Camtasia, I think there's some ways to watermark, add logo's, etc. to it.

you should verbally state "copyright..." in every video

similarly, in posts you want to copyright...

merely writing copyright on your text with date and name is sufficient under the law to establish copyright

i am not sure what the law says about audio, but saying copyright 2007 John Doe could not hurt

Copyright is automatic on any written or recorded material. You don't have to write "copyright". You can do to scare people off but it's not necessary. Copyright laws are fairly uniform all over the world because of international treaties.
