I have read a bit about copyrighting, and US copyright laws protect intellectual property the moment it is created.

Technically, by posting my stories here, i am setting a copyright date the moment i click "Submit Reply".

you could email them to yourself, and it could possibly hold up in court. use gmail, they keep copies forever (just dont delete them), and they would be time-stamped, and, since you are emailing them to yourself, they arent visible by anyone but you, unless you choose to show them.

Food for thought. Its free ;)
