Has anyone else had this happen to them? I had a D-List celebrity steal one and had a lawyer make them pay up but the US government is a bit of a different beast. I’ve had Cuba and Russia steal it too. I’m not sure it’s worth kicking that hornet nest.
I should probably copyright register it.
I can’t find anything on that and it would appear from what I have found the photos they use are either government produced and not copyrighted or have been assigned to the government and no longer protected.
So that’s a concern too.
Copyright is automatic on creation of the work. There’s nothing to register.
Good habit is to watermark your work.
