Random thought this week!


So, I've been taking a few weeks and really trying to get the hang of this home based business thing.  I'm always trying to create something, which lately has been a little difficult (creative pressure block).  I've been doing all sorts of research online and I came across something today.  I found a website that pretty much says that anything a jewelry artist creates is copyright from the time the piece gets finished.  Even if it doesn't have the copyright symbol.  I'm not sure I understand how that's possible.  Now, I create a lot of pieces.  Some like this really simple piece that was created for a friend of mine.  And sometimes they are a little more complicated like this woven bracelet that's for sale on my site.  How do I know that someone else hasn't already created it?  Or quite possibly how do I know that someone might create it in the future without me knowing it?  Is there really a true way to enforce this?  And is there that strict of an enforcement on this?  I really had no idea about this.  If anyone knows more about this, I would LOVE to hear some responses!!
