questions about copywrite and what to do with material

[zwag]

I'm wondering if I'm understanding something right. I understand that if I submit something here, the only other places I can post it are places that would charge me for it. Am I right? Also, can I just submit articles here, or am I required to submit them somewhere else on a site that charges, especially if I'm submitting for someone else?

Also, if I submit an article for myself or someone else, if I want the full rights option, would my posting the copywrite symbol and the date indicate that's the option I'm wanting. Would this be true even if I'm making a new article as much as possible for somone else? If I want partial rights under any circumstances (writing for myself or a customor) would I not use the copywrite symbol?

If you submit articles to CC and offer Unique and/or Full Rights you can not have submitted the articles anywhere else and you can not ever submit the articles anywhere else in the future so long you are offering full or unique rights on CC. If the article sells on CC for usage you could in theory submit it elsewhere for sale or usage but you can not offer it for full rights or unique usage anywhere since you already sold it to someone for usage. I do not understand what you mean by "places that charge me for it".

You can submit articles to CC. You can submit different articles to other places. You are not required to submit the same articles elsewhere - if you do you can not offer them on CC for anything other then Usage. I don't believe you can submit other people's work here (and why would you want to?)

Also, if I submit an article for myself or someone else, if I want the full rights option, would my posting the copywrite symbol and the date indicate that's the option I'm wanting. Would this be true even if I'm making a new article as much as possible for somone else?

Just follow the submission form. You can indicate the rights you are offering there along with the price. "Copyright" is the correct term/spelling for what you mean. Copywriter is the term for a person who writes copy (text).

It's my understanding that all work posted must be your own original content, not someone else's. For example, you can't post articles that you purchased from another writer or site. You can't post articles that your sister wrote. You can only submit articles that you have written.

ok. I think all my questions have been asnwered about those things except this. Should I put the copywrite on any and all work I submit here?

You do not need to put copyright on your work here.

It's not necessary to put a copyright symbol or phrase in your work.
