When I posted my strategy guide in the EE2 forum Mistacrow asked if I copyrighted it, now I don't really know much about it and I was wandering if I can do it for free and what happens if someone actually steal the copyrighted material?
(I asked that on the EE2 forum but no one answered so brought it here... -.-)

you can copyright for free as long as you put the date and the copy right symbol. If someone does copy your material when it is copyrighted then you can take them to court and take legal action.

well I think you need some documentation so if someone does copy it you can claim it was originally your work. Here some questions that are answered but its only to do with UK copyright. www.patent.gov.uk/copy/indetail/basicfacts.htm

It's the same. They're all right. Why would you pay to copyright something, you can do it for free, and if someone copies your material you have the right to either warn them or you can take them to court. You may get a little money out of suing but for just a strategy guide for a game over the internet, the judge will probably just think you are wasting his time. And don't worry, if that happens, they'll have a court where you are.
