Published materials are protected by copyright automatically!. It is not necessary to file forms or pay fees!. The purpose of mailing it to yourself is to prove by the postmark the date by which you wrote the material!. It's cheap and there is no harm in doing that!. Don't open the letter!

Recognize that anything written after April 1, 1989, is automatically protected (in the United States) by an assumed copyright!. If you don't transfer the copyright to someone else, it will last 70 years past your date of death!.

Anything you write is automatically copyrighted!. Applying and paying for a copyright is just to protect your copyright!. You can mail a copy to yourself, which helps protect you a little bit because you can prove that it was written before the date of the postmark!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
