Floatation Fishing (Tubin' & Toonin')

[TubeDude]

Pat, your various jig treatises would be invaluable to a very wide spectrum of anglers. I do strongly suggest you add a copyright statement to each and every one of them. You no longer have to do a federal application, just stating that material is copyrighted is sufficient. Why? Because without one, anybody can copy it verbatim, publish it, and then HE owns the copyright and YOU can't use it again.

Thanks Rocky.  I appreciate your insight...inasmuch as you are a published author in several areas.

Howsomever, at this point in my (long) life I care less about the potential for future plagiarism than about downloading and sharing some of what I think I have learned with others who might be further down on the learning curve.  I prefer to risk proprietary credits in order to avoid having it buried in my computer when I reach my expiration date.
