Copyrights
Copyrights
may be able to protect creative endeavors such as literary works, artwork, jewelry,
sculpture, photographs, movies and that song you've written. "Pulp Fiction"
(the film), Johnny Cash's recordings and Bugs Bunny cartoons are all
works that are copyrighted.
Copyrights last 95 years for businesses. For individuals they generally last the entire life of the author plus 50
years.
Despite the intimidation that the entire copyrighting process may create, it can all be performed by LegalZoom,
the company co-founded by attorney Robert Shapiro, in three simple steps
online...

the Copyright Form Questionnaire: |

Fill

by experienced attorneys. Most users complete it in under 30 minutes.

save your work for you.)
