>does anyone know how to copyright stuff and how to register a trademark?

Basically, you have to call an office in Wash., DC.  You'll get
an answering machine on which you'll leave your name, address,
and a request for the specific material you need.  About 3-4
weeks later you'll get the forms through the mail.  Fill out the
forms, write a check (usually around $20.00), enclose both with a
copy of the item you're getting the copyright for, and then mail
it off (this is for copywright; I'm not sure about trademark).

If you send a response to me, I'll see if I can dig up the phone
numbers for you.  The whole process is relatively painless.
