Marcie,
It might be worth adding a footer to the written work to say that it cannot be used without your permission. There have been a couple instances in the press this week where work (ok photos) were used and published for free due to the owner not writing a disclaimer on or against their work.

If I send any of my tree or research to anyone I ask that it is not published in print or on the internet. I have been bitten twice prior to this!
Please acknowledge when a restorer works on your photos, it can take hours for them to work their magic

Please scan at 300dpi minimum to help save the restorers eyesight.

Yes, it is still your intellectual property and automatically covered for copyright from the minute you finish it until 70 years after your death.
There is no need to register copyright in the UK, it is automatic.

However in some cases you may have to prove when a work was made (a common way for songwriters in the past was to post themselves a copy of the piece and keep the letter unopened).
If you have published a book then you should donate the required copies to the various UK copyright libraries (this can work out expensive and many people do not bother).

Cheers

Hi

Want to tell us the FULL details of how they got a copy of your work?

Was it your own work?
Collaborative?
Did you get paid for it? etc., etc..
Were you working for someone (else) ?

Sorry but that sweeping statement is incorrect.

It depends on whether you have created the document as part of a contract or employment.
If you have then in certain circumstances the person who commissioned the work or your employer could own the copyright.

Copyright law is full of grey areas covered by case law and is not a black and white law in many cases.

Agreed.
During my career in IT I have written many computer programs; some of them very good!

But copyright rests with my former employers, as laid out in my contract of employment.
