Re "Letting people know it is copyrighted is necessary for you to get damage awards in court", the NZ Copyright Act does allow for no damages to be awarded if the defandant did not know and "had no reason to believe" that copyright existed in a work, so though the Act does not require notice for copyright to exist, notice would make it harder to claim such ignorance. But notice is obviously not an absolute prerequisite here to getting damages - even in the absence of it you'd be pretty hard pressed to convince a judge that you had no reason to believe that copyright existed in a book or film or software program for example. Cheers, Dominic
