Security and pirates.

There has been much discussion about the www with security and piracy issues. I am not sure there is really any way that you can for certain keep your works safe. You can register your works with the copyright site but that is only for US, internationally there is no way to protect them. All you can do is try to stick with reputable sites, and keep your fingers crossed. There will always be someone who will try to profit from the hard works of others, that is a fact.
