*ArynChris
reports, November 16
reports, November 16A comprehensive guide to commissioning, based on my personal experiences and observations. This guide does not address hosting contests, nor does it specifically address the unique challenges of commissioning through specific websites, though some typical scenarios are mentioned in passing. Topics include choosing the artist, why it's important to make sure you can afford it, how to contact the artist, payment, what WIPs are and why you might want to see them, and legal rights of both parties. Legal rights are discussed at the beginner level and are NOT in depth here.

about registering copyrights
`Princess-of-Shadows
reports, June 11, 2008
reports, June 11, 2008ABOUT REGISTERING COPYRIGHTS
Some people have asked me about the formal/ official way of registering your work and detaining copyrights. I have gathered some information I believe is useful. If there is anything else you know and would like to share, cos you believe it's important, please add your comment to this article. All help is important.
"In general, copyright registration is a legal formality intended to make a public record of the basic facts of a particular copyright. However, registration is not a condition of copyright protection. Even though registration is not a requirement for protection, the copyright law provides several inducements or advantages to encourage copyright owners to make registration. "
in copyright.gov

What does this mean? This means that copyrights refer to the rights an author detains over a certain work ( wether it is an image, a text, music, or any other object that can be created from scartch ). Meanin it cannot be reproduced, used, distributed, eddited or sold - unless stated otherwise.
However, in order to make it official you need to register your work, fill out some paper work, gather your work in a cd, book, or whatever other mean, and add your signature, date and other important info that might be necessary so that in the future you can prove that it is your work and no one else's.
This matter will bring you advantages such as:
you will be able to prove a certain artwork, music, graphic,... is yours and yours alone it might also cover your intellectual property ( idea, concept, something you've been working on but isn'tquite finnished, ... ) when stated
in case your work is stolen and sold without your permission, you will have rights over the money made with it How can I register my work in order to make it official and detain all copyrights over it? For all USA residents, you can check out [link]
Here, you can choose between a range of different kinds of works such as literary, visual works, performing arts, sound recordings, serials and periodicals, and masks works. For example, when it comes to visual artworks, the following steps are needed:
"
Step 1 Make sure your work is a visual arts work. Visual arts are pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works,
including 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional works of fine, graphic, and applied art. (... )
Step 2 Put into one envelope or package:
* a completed application Form VA and Form CON if needed.
* a $45 payment to "Register of Copyrights."
* nonreturnable copy(ies) of the material to be registered. Read details on deposit requirements. (... )
Step 3 Send the package to:
Library of Congress
Copyright Office
101 Independence Avenue, S.E.
Washington, D.C. 20559-6000
Note: Your registration becomes effective on the day that the Copyright Office receives your application, payment, and copy(ies) in acceptable form. If your submission is in order, you will receive a certificate of registration in approximately 6 months." (Note: We are currently experiencing processing
delays.)"

For Portuguese residents/ citizens Conheço uma forma mais simples, através da qual podemos lidar mais directamente com a pessoas do que propriamente no outro lado do oceano.
Guarda os teus trabalhos num CD e faz uma copia para ti. Em seguida, dirige-te a uma "Loja do cidadão", há várias espalhadas pelo país e muito provavelmente uma perto da tua residência. Aí explica-lhes que queres registar os teus trabalhos de forma a deteres os direitos de autor. É muito importante referires que queres guardar/ registar o bloco de trabalhos incluído no CD, e não cada um dos trabalhos em separado, porque assim fazem-te pagar por cada image separadamente. A última vez que me informei este processo tinha o preço de €25. É só seguir as informações que te são dadas.
Hope it' helps!
