Who Owns My Writing? A Writer's Guide To Copyright is my latest article on Garden and Hearth. It's a summary of some of the main points of copyright law for writers - and there are a few words about the rights to your work, too.

Thanks for the link
Good stuff to know.
TF
fine points
And thanks for reading, TF.
I had to research this once for a class I was teaching and it proved to be invaluable as I learned some of the finer points of copyright.

True
It is hard.
We are building a compulation of public domain, but you really need to be careful, because someone may still own copyright to characters etc.
I have given up on trying to keep my articles copyright - I have way too many stolen.

Well, when they reprint
Well, when they reprint stuff I've put out there, it's not too bad, as long as I get a link back. But I hate it when the articles appear on a questionable site, so then I ask for them to be removed, with very little success, usually. It can be difficult to navigate between the promotion potential of article marketing and the fear that your work will end up being misused.
