Can I copyright my website's content?

Yes, you can copyright the content of your website in New Mexico. Copyright law in New Mexico is based on federal copyright law, so the same principles apply. In order to copyright your website’s content, you must create an original work and put it in a tangible form. This could include anything from writing a piece of code, text, images, or audio recordings. These works must be original and not based on the work of someone else. Once your content is in a fixed form of expression, copyright is automatically granted to you in New Mexico. This means that you now own the rights to use the content as you wish, such as reproducing the work or preventing others from altering the work. Registering the copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office is recommended, but not necessary to obtain copyright protection. This is because the copyright is granted to the creator from the moment the work is fixed in a tangible form. Registering gives you the ability to take legal action if someone violates your copyright. In conclusion, you can copyright your website’s content in New Mexico as long as the content is original and fixed in a tangible form. Registering your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office is recommended but not required for copyright protection.
