I believe you are correct in that you do have some protection in US Copyright for your work, but I also believe that you have stronger ones if you specifically claim copyright protection, as well as the rules for mirroring or linking to your work.

This may be a question better posed to either our Monk in Exile or to the people on this site, who are (if not lawyers) at least knowledgeable in those areas. Better yet, you can get some guidance for free.

In the mean time, you might email the mirroring sites and politely ask them to replace their copies with links to your pages. After all, they probably want to make sure that they're sending people to the latest and greatest revisions.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


The stupid question is the question not asked
