: : : I am an aspiring writer of short fiction and poetry. To date, the only protection I have afforded myself is the so-called "poor man's copyright", where I mail the work to myself and file away the unopened envelope. Is this effective? Also, would I be allowed to copyright, say, three short stories as a "collection" for one $30 fee, and still maintain adequate protection? If so, would I be able to include a poem in the collection, even though poetry is typically covered by a separate form? Thanks in advance.
: : I believe that in a pinch, your letter to yourself may be rejected in court as a self serving declaration. Mail it to a friend and get the unopened envelope. I saw that work once in a litigation.
: : Penny wise Pound foolish. It might pay you to understand the law to be able to work in confidence with the best ablity to profit from what you create and have it protected and in an economical way.
