Same as any other art or work, Catlin. Anything you create is automatically under your copyright. There is no need to sign or register it, and the stuff about posting a copy to yourself is a myth. The difficulty, as mentioned above, is policing your copyright, especially on the web where everything is easily stolen and hard to find when reused without permission. If you need to pursue your copyright at some point in the future, it'll be easier if you take some precautions now. Common sense dictates that any argument over ownership is likely to come down to who 'made' the work first. In that sort of case, if you can produce, for instance, an archived copy on CD (which will have date of file creation), you have evidence of when you made it. Link is to the UK Copyright Licensing Agency site: very useful site from a very helpful bunch of folks :-)
