WHAT T-21's COPYRIGHT PROTECTION SERVICE PROVIDES.

 
SERVICE  VALUE:   ORIGINAL WORKS  COPYRIGHT PROTECTION.

Your work is important and valuable, so you must protect it.   Unfortunately, theft and unauthorized use are fairly common, as thieves scoff at copyright laws.

• Theft of Printed Text and Graphics is Widespread, due to new technologies, including:  Digital Transfer and Manipulation, Digital Scanners and OCR, and high-speed Color Copiers.   The only basis for defending your rights is your ability to prove ownership.   T-21 can help.
   
• Theft of Internet-Based Material is Rampant.   It's simple to copy Web content, since anything displayed by a Web Browser exists on the viewing computer - easy to capture and misuse.   Anyone, with very little knowledge, can easily steal it.

T-21 can provide techniques, making it difficult for thieves to steal your creations.   The adage, "locks are for honest people" - says that locks don't deter dishonest people.   On the Internet, honest people don't attempt to circumvent theft protection, but others certainly do.

Stealing text and graphics on the Internet can be as simple as copy and paste.   No solution is 100% effective, but T-21's prevention techniques can help tremendously.

One insidious graphics theft method is "Hot-Linking."   Thieves merely link content on your Web Site to their Web Site.   This not only steals your image - it uses your Web Site's bandwidth (paid for by you) to show your image on their Web Site.   T-21 Can Help.

YOUR  COPYRIGHTS.

Although T-21 cannot give you legal advice, the following is our overview of USA copyrights and the practicalities of dealing with theft of original works:
 

 
DECIDING WHAT  COPYRIGHT PROTECTION and PREVENTION  YOU NEED.

First, you know that you should document ownership of your original works.   Second, you must decide on the most cost-effective way to do this.   Solutions available to you, include:

• Official Registration.   You could officially register every original work and any changes to it, as they occur, to allow you to sue in court for damages.   This is not cost-effective on small - medium / non-static works, as lawsuits are expensive and results, uncertain. 
   

• Self Registration.   You could try copying your work, sealing it in an envelope, and mailing it to yourself, "Registered."   Unfortunately, this method can be cumbersome and open to challenge (i.e. - it must be opened to prove it, yet once it's opened, it's compromised).
   

• T-21's THIRD-PARTY REGISTRATION.   You need an uninvolved / unbiased third-party, like T-21, to document your ownership of your original works.   T-21, as an unbiased registrant, can provide Notarized proof, supporting your ownership claim.   (We can also help you enforce your copyright.)
   

T-21's Service is Simple,      
Effective, and Inexpensive.

 
WHAT  T-21's COPYRIGHT PROTECTION  CAN DO FOR YOU.
 

• FIRST and FOREMOST.   You can use T-21's Original Works Registration service for any of your creative works - tangible or electronic - on or off the Internet.   It's simpler, cheaper, and much more flexible than any other form of registration.   This provides you with proof you'll need to stop thieves.   Here's how:
   

  • T-21 can Copy / Record / Archive any materials for you, sent by Postal Mail, e-Mail, or Fax;  we can also download them from your Web Site.
     

  • T-21 can supply Notarized Documentation of your work, with the registration date (showing it in your possession at that time), to help you prove ownership.
     

T-21's unbiased proof can establish that you possessed and asserted your ownership of an Original Work on a given date.   Then, in the case of Internet theft, it's the proof of ownership you need to demand that a thief's Web Site Host discontinue their Web Site or content.   In other cases of theft or plagiarism, this T-21 documentation helps you have stolen material removed from circulation.

T-21 provides you with the cheapest method of enforcing your rights and stopping thieves' use of your work.   If you wish to press your rights to royalties in court, this same T-21 material can help to prove your ownership claim - since the notarized documentation is registered and dated, and is supplied by T-21, an unbiased third-party.

This T-21 service is the most cost-effective, flexible option anywhere.   If you want to document ownership of an Article, Book, Painting, Computer Graphic, or Poem - T-21's service is available to you.   If you want a full Web Site documented (or just certain pages, certain text, or specific graphics) - T-21 can help.
 

• SECOND.   T-21 can help you better protect online content with theft-mitigating techniques.   While nothing is 100% effective, these measures can help dramatically.
   

• THIRD.   At your option, T-21 Teams can assist you in tracking down Internet thieves and stopping them from illegally using your Original Works.
