Welcome to Copyright Law Radio.  My name is Copyright Attorney Enrico Schaefer.  I am a copyright lawyer with the law firm of Traverse Legal.  Every once in a while we’ll go ahead and answer some questions that we get online off of the internet about copyright issues, and today the question is:  How do I protect my copyright from infringement?  A good copyright infringement lawyer knows that it’s one thing to own a copyright (it is one thing to be the author of an original work), it’s a whole different thing to protect that copyright from infringement, especially with the advent of the internet, because everything now is cut and paste.  Everything is grabbing content from one place and putting in another.  It is so easy to take someone’s photograph or written words or artwork and put them onto my website.
