Can I copyright my website's content?

Yes, you can copyright the content of your website in Oklahoma. A copyright is a form of protection granted by the federal government to the creators of original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. To copyright the content of a website, the works must be original and fixed in a tangible medium of expression, such as a web page. Once a website is copyrighted, it is protected from being copied without the copyright owner’s permission. The copyright owner will have exclusive rights to distribute, reproduce, adapt and display their work publicly. In Oklahoma, any legal dispute involving copyright infringement is subject to federal law. The process of copyrighting a website’s content is generally easy and inexpensive. You can submit an application online and pay an application fee. Alternatively, you can send in a paper registration form, along with any other supporting documents and the appropriate filing fee. After the copyright application is processed, the website’s content will be legally protected and the copyright owner will receive a Certificate of Registration. In Oklahoma, your website’s content will be protected for the duration of the copyright owner’s life plus seventy years. It is important to remember that copyright protection only applies to original works of authorship and not to ideas, processes, or factual information. It is also important to note that copyright protection does not protect against plagiarism or unauthorized use of copyrighted works.
