What exactly is copyright and how does it affect people in the digital age?
What if I create a web site from scratch and I want to make sure it remains mine?
What if I create a skin for a forum or Web CMS, how can I make sure I retain the credit for it?
The questions here and many more like it, you can hear being asked all over the Internet. I think it's time for a few answers to help weed through some of the muck and mire that surrounds protecting your hardwork.

This is an article written by Adam Engst, what he has to say concerning the DMCA is shocking to say the least.
"Much has been written about what's wrong with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). After all, it's been used to jail programmers, threaten professors, and censor publications, and because of it, foreign scientists have avoided traveling to the U.S. and prominent researchers have withheld their work. In a white paper about the unintended consequences of the DMCA, the Electronic Frontier Foundation argues that the DMCA chills free expression and scientific research, jeopardizes fair use, and impedes competition and innovation. In short, this is a law that only the companies who paid for it could love."
