Website MyFreeCopyright.com provides a verifiable historical public record asserting your copyright to works you create.
MyFreeCopyright creates an electronic fingerprint of your image, audio, or written creation and emails you that signature, thereby providing both a unique key to identify the work and a time-stamp to verify the date of creation should you ever need to defend your work.
Submitting your work to deviantArt.com provides a similar proof of authorship (in that the date of publication is recorded by a third party), but MyFreeCopyright.com has the benefit of allowing anyone to submit a copy of the image without knowing who you are, and the site will match the signature with the copyright owner. (Caveat: Only unedited works will actually match. You will need the original file to defend your creations.)
The first 100 works you submit are free; additional images may be registered as part of their annual subscription service, as are additional features related to archiving copies of your work. (features/pricing) Subscription prices are about the same level as a deviantArt subscription account, and certainly worth considering as an alternative to more expensive watermarking services like Digimarc's MyPictureMarc.

The new owner seems to be in Hong Kong. Follow WNNWs on twitter for updates as they seem to be the ones that broke the story. Tell your friends to stay the hell away from Myfreecopyright.com. It's no longer safe. If they'd just delete thousands of accounts, with no explanation, there's nothing to say that they wouldn't do it again.
Well, if someone did steal your stuff and you had the Myfreecopyright stamp (as I call it), there's not really much you can do about it sometimes. I heard that you can have your stuff copyrighted, but it's not the same as an actual copyright.
There is no getting around the fact that in order to truly protect your work you must register it with the U.S. Copyright Office.....period....they are the end of the line for protection of your rights.
I e-mailed this link to the PhotoAttorney, Carolyn E. Wright, I have been featuring some of her blog articals in my journals. She is an attorney specializing in legal assistance for photographers.
You should really read this - [link] - before you join this or any other site making claims that are questionable or cannot be verified easily.
