Here's another one
"Do I have to register with your office to be protected?
No. In general, registration is voluntary. Copyright exists from the moment
the work is created. You will have to register, however, if you wish to
bring a lawsuit for infringement of a U.S. work. "

And this one
"Before an infringement suit may be filed in court, registration is
necessary for works of U.S. origin. "

This one too!
"How is a copyright different from a patent or a trademark?
Copyright protects original works of authorship, while a patent protects
inventions or discoveries. Ideas and discoveries are not protected by the
copyright law, although the way in which they are expressed may be. A
trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the
source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from
those of others. "

Oops I almost forgot this one
"What is copyright?
Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and
granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium
of expression. Copyright covers both published and unpublished works."

Now the moral of the story is. You can't copyright a word. Your
Superantispyware.com is not my superantispyware.exe. Your threats and no
action makes you a stupid fool.
