Hey Kris,

You have more rights than you think you do with just a copyright. According to the copyright law, all you have to do is write copyright 2005 Kris Horton or something like that and it's copyrighted. That entitles you the right and ownership of that for life and 70 years after your death. You may not be able to go after this person for money or anything BUT you can write him a cease and desist letter making him take it off. If you want I can email you or anybody else the word document info I have on this.

Another thing Kris, if you trademark your stuff make sure you are incorporated too. I've been working for enough companies and dealt with legal and licensing issues for years now so If I haven't dealt with a specific issue or don't know something about it I can find out specifics.

John
