In the U.S., at least, the act of fixing words on paper gives the author
implicit copyright.  That is, you don't have to register it or put a
copyright notice on it.  But the latter is useful.

I believe the EFF had a bit about copyright at its web site
(www.eff.org), but there's plenty of other information out there that
can be retrieved by using a search engine and some judicious search
vocabulary.

It sounds like a great thesis.  Let us know when it's done, and whether
it will be available for reading by us mere mortals.

Cheers!
