I am currently creating a product and need to copyright it and write up some TOS. Is it possible to do this for free?
 
in the UK copyright is free which is just amazingly great..... TOS are easily done just go and look at your competition or similar products and copy and edit :)

there you go all done for freeeee
 
thanks lewi, is there a website where I can get it copyrighted or something?
 
ive never actually done the whole copyright thing however i think as long as you stick a copyright logo thingy there and can prove you made it with time stamps.... make cd's that are dated digitally etc then anything that goes wrong can be proved that you made it and its yours and the dates etc..... but protect your back and go do some research

i.e. google 'copyright in new zealand'
 
Yea, actually since '89 it's pretty much a given that anything you do is copyrighted automatically, especially that which you have emailed to yourself on a server that you have no access to.

Basically, if you mail yourself your product IN EMAIL on a server that is huge and corporate and that you know you cannot edit, like yahoomail, it is a legal form of copyright.

Also, I doubt anyone will steal your product. They will re-write it, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about that.

Here is a quote from a guy named BigRich on another forum:

Under the Berne copyright convention almost everything created privately and originally after April 1, 1989 is copyrighted and protected whether it has a notice or not. This policy is recognized by the US, UK and any other country in the World Trade Organization.

[Taken From Wikipedia]
Under the Berne Convention, copyrights for creative works do not have to be asserted or declared, as they are automatically in force at creation: an author need not "register" or "apply for" a copyright in countries adhering to the Berne Convention. As soon as a work is "fixed", that is, written or recorded on some physical medium, its author is automatically entitled to all copyrights in the work, and to any derivative works unless and until the author explicitly disclaims them, or until the copyright expires
