My opinion on this matter it's quiet diverse...

For what I know, not everybody respects unique content... and in the end they end up copying your stuff, so you could do a copyright but... how sure would you be about not beeing copied... on the other hand, if you just use a symbol and someone finds out you don't have copyright they'll use it even worse :S

I don't know what other people would think about this,

Actually, this is not the place for this question. Copright and copywriting are two entirely different things. Even so, take a look at this article, it will give you the lowdown:

The Skinny on Copyrighting Your Work

Yes but, the problem with online copyright is that... either way people will always find a way to copy you

That's what I don't like

There's no such thing as "online copyright"...

You already own copyrights to your material the moment you create it.

If you register the work(s) with the Copyright Office, you'll be able to seek additional statutory and compensatory damages if you sue someone for infringement.

The overwhelming majority of the folks who ask about this (as in 9/10+) have neither the resources nor a compelling reason for pursuing an infringement action in the courts.

I am not a lawyer... and you don't need to be either to understand everything involved.

This is the copyWRITING forum.

Here is the Copyright Office's website from the Library of Congress:

I understand this is the copy Writing. But thanks for the links to the answers.

for an ebook, i dont think that you require a separate copyright. but make sure that there is no copying from outer resources and if at all you have to use photos use stock and royalty free ones. as for the matters, you can do citations and reference for instances where you had used them..
