What you want is copyright protection. The linked article describes how this works and suggests a good way you can get started with documenting your copyright. Ultimately, to have your legal rights protected, you have to register your copyright with the US Copyright Office (second link), which is not free ($45 fee), but you may be able to turn a body of work into one "Literary Document" and copyright it all at once. By properly annotating your work with © 2006 Your Name), you declare your intent to copyright the work, but ultimately you have to take the steps to do it.

First post is correct. Easiest way to get something copyrighted is to mail a copy of it to yourself. Then leave the envelop unopened and file it away. The postmark on the outside of you unopened envelope is your proof that you owned those words at the time and date on the postmark.

Then, whenever you post or give a copy of the poem, make sure that on the poem you have a line that says "©Wes H, 2006. All rights reserved." This notifies everyone that you own the material so that they will (hopefully) not copy it. Or if they do, you have proof that they knew.

I think you may be talking about COPYRIGHT.

The old method of having something copyright, is to place a copy in a letter and mail it to yourself. The U.S. Postal service stamp on the envelope will hold up in court for a copyright.

That is why so many places require a FAX, because it stamps the date/time of the document.

Remember a contract is a agreement between two parties with another party as a witness. But a copyright is something that has a official date/time stamp that will hold in a court of law.

Hope this helps.
