Answer 4

The details of copywrite are too complex to go into on this site. However if you go to; http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/ You should have all your questions answered. A copywrite lawyer would be your best bet though.

Answer 5

You can do this at the US Copyright Office – see the last 3 links in the source box. The application is fairly simple & the cost is $45 per application. Despite what others state, a "poor man's" copyright is NOT the same as registering it. Here's what the US Copyright Office has to say: "The practice of sending a copy of your own work to yourself is sometimes called a 'poor man’s copyright.' There is no provision in the copyright law regarding any such type of protection, and it is not a substitute for registration." Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
