Question(s) About How does Copyrighting Work Upon This Forum And/Or The WWW In General?

Disambiguating Cynosure
over 5 years ago

Greetings, anyone, from me. I am (supposed to be) an Artist/Writer/Designer or whatnot... But I am perhaps 'Internet Autistic' - and I have *Justified* Paranoia!...

The Question is: If an "original work' is Posted in this Forum or upon the Internet in General... Where does the Copyright go? Who has it? What stops anyone from altering the Work and claiming it as theirs? I know how to Program/Hack a little - what stops other people from stealing the Work that way? Pictures/Poems/Stories or anything Posted here in NAS --- We (most of us) use Aliases, so who has the copyright??

*Ahem*... by way of a Test (or excuse), here is an original POEM which I myself only just made up today. How is this Copyright Protected then, is what I am asking! Thanks, anyone (who is not hostile)!

TITLE: Just One Opinion As A Poem About Poetry (If that is okay).

A Poem, to me, should involve much Rhyme;
If rhyme is hard to find then take some time;
To learn a lot of words or use a Dictionary,
And in doing so results are sometimes very...
Unpredictable! But also keep in mind a Rhythm;
That words work together, not to cause a division;
Keep a beat inside the head and go with the flow,
And vocabulary and rhythm should go and grow.
Should the sentence end with an uncommon word,
It involves more thought to keep things from absurd;
Like the finding the Rhyme for "Orange" and "Silver",
Discuss Sporanges and Blorenge, and Lambs called a Chilver...
Sacrifice style for content, or rhythm for meanings?
Follow where the words wind, along with our feelings...
...Always.      :-)

    I'm not sure about the legalities about the copyright. 

    But I protect myself by only posting reduced quality photographs on this and other websites. The original quality is safe on my computer.

    A good answer, Thank You, Sir. I suspected this, but I often forget it (...!); and I am glad that I Posted a "Poem" instead of a Picture, then. Owning the originals applies to Pictures, certainly. I was wondering about Text as well, and "where was the first publishing" though, with regards to things done completely Digitally.

    For Pictures, I suppose it to be a case of <> 'make certain you keep that Camera/Card/Stick because it contains the First Impression'... (Hope you know what I mean.)
