Hey. I am a college student at a private Computer Graphic Design school on the East coast. I recently developed a piece of artwork in which is based on the Sept. 11 disaster. The only problem I have now is that I am seeing other somewhat similar examples of this artwork on a magazine. Now I am trying to find out if I should take this seriously and get the copywright to my art work. So I guess I am asking what website can I get the forms or whatever to recieve the copyeright law towards my artwork. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it very much. Any other suggestions are free to be layed out on the table. PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK ASAP!
