What you should know about posting images here

If you want to spend $35 per card and copyright each one, you can, but you won't be getting a refund or group rate from the copyright office. However, if you have the working sketches, copies of online documentation (dates on the posts) as you discuss the thing, blogging activity, rough drafts, photocopies & all the attendant items from the artistic side--that should be enough proof. You can show all the buildup work in regards to the card, whereas someone who would steal it could not. PLUS you have your other body of work which would be in your style as well.
To be 100% covered, DON'T post it online. Or post it with a "SAMPLE" stamp over the top of it. It'll cut off a good section of the picture, but people understand. It'd be your choice as to how much to show of your work.

Oh that mostly refers to posting images online, some people have had art stolen that way and others used it as their own or without permission--which was the reason the thread was started.
Copyrighting a deck couldn't be easier, it's not that expensive and it has very simple paperwork (1 page for original stuff, a 2 page form for things derived from other people's art or ideas but still your own creation).
Your 'reputation' is only with a tiny group of fen, don't sweat what's not a problem. Feel free to PM me (I sent you a PM the other day in fact). Ask questions and people here will be happy to answer them.

I had originally intended to post here as opposed to creating a new thread, but I shall be watching this thread with interest.
I recently found out that my cards were being displayed on Multiply without my permission and am in the process of trying to ask them to stop (not sure if emailing them will be enough now). I did have a self-addressed copy of my Pack whilst still in the UK, but had reworked several cards - I did write the copyright symbol on the botom left of each card. I am now based in Hungary and that Multiply is based in New York and I know there has been a furore recently about the so-called Orphaned Works bill - and I will never be ableto afford buying copyright for all my artworks, let alone my Tarot.
