Today, I had an inspiration. I came up with something new and artistic, worthy of an NEA grant. It is a piece called "the illusion of time" a grand multimedia, multisensory interactive sculpture that discourses on issues of time, of space, of representation and of the nature of music. It's an idea so dear to me that I want to protect it. I want to make sure that *I* can bring it into being. That *I* can make this thing happen. It's partly ego, I realize that, but I feel like this is one of the best ideas that I have ever had, creativity-wise and want to make it a reality.
So, does anyone know how to do the whole copyright thing on a plan for a grand multimedia,multisensory interactive sculpture? The sooner I can make sure that this internet will not let someone run off with my baby, the sooner I can tell you guys about my wonderful plan.

* How do I protect my sighting of Elvis?

Copyright law does not protect sightings. However, copyright law will protect your photo (or other depiction) of your sighting of Elvis. Just send it to us with a form VA application and the $30 filing fee. No one can lawfully use your photo of your sighting, although someone else may file his own photo of his sighting. Copyright law protects the original photograph, not the subject of the photograph.

this is a real question from the US copyright office FAQ
