Sorry to drag everybody into the depressing world of copyright again but I could do with some help.
when producing original content on a website (designs, music, stories) is there anything you should do to protect your work from being ripped off?
the reason i ask is i know somebody who writes stories and i want to publish and illustrate their work but he's worried that once he posts it on the internet, he loses control of it and somebody could print it off and claim it as their own. is there any way i can put his mind at ease?
