I figured that if I needed to, I could replace the blank pages with something I'd written and THEN seal the envelope. In an era before xerox machines, it was a lot less hassle than producing carbon copies of everything, and sending stuff out all the time. <br /><br />The problem with poor man's copyright is that nobody wants to steal your work. If you market it right, you'll beat anyone else to market. If you don't market it right, it's worthless. <br /><br />And most of the stuff that was under "poor man's copyright" was worthless. It <i>couldn't</i> be marketed right, because nobody would want to read it.<br /><br />Which is the problem of regular copyright. Writers need to worry about producing something worth stealing rather than about people stealing it.Dr. Harl Deloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17424071404764987713noreply@blogger.com
