: I have searched everywhere for an answer to this question and haven't been able find anything. Any help that you can give would be deeply appreciated.

: I, and some of my friends, have been working on creating a MUD. A MUD is a multi user dungeon. Think Dugeons and Dragons on the net with the possibility of thousands of players at once. Also, a MUD is text based, there are no graphics just source code and room descriptions etc., etc.

: My problem is, I don't know which forms to file to copyright something like this and I am not positive what exactly can be copyrighted (ie code and room descripts). Plus, I am pretty much in the dark about this IPP thing.

: I know I am asking for a lot of information but even the tiniest snippet would be a huge help to me. I would appreciate ANY help that any of you could give. Could you please email me at Mystyrain8@aol.com?

: Thank You,

: Lucinda Miracle
You can get a copyrigtht on the source code and you may be able to get a trademark on to name for the game. The idea does not seem protectable.
