D'net,
Wonderful photo! Thanks for letting admire your work! If copyright refers to permanently fixed work that can be seen or heard. So photos are there. Are not they? I had the same thought about how much work you and all of us have created so far and that personally I have not done any copyright.
I think that this topic about copyright should be included in schools and universities so people can get educated in this topic. I plan to share this knowledge with my seventh-grade students. I think that doing so we can help the future generation to value the importance of copyrighting.

Copyright, it is has been a great topic of discussion in my other line of work of photography. It was not mentioned in the discussion, but each photo or digital image was created by a person. The average person feels that there is no harm for copying an image off the internet and posting to Facebook, twitter or their own personal website. Just last week the Professional Photographers of America polled several members on the use of copyrights and their imagines. The results were astounding! Of the 2,830 that took the poll, (84%) 2,392 photographers NEVER register their work. 41 (1%) ALWAYS register. 324 (11%) OCCASIONALLY register. These are professional that make a living at creating images. It goes to show not matter on what platform you create, educate yourself and protect your work.
