Is making a signature tag with an unmarked gif copyright infringement?
Yes it, in all likelihood it is an infringement of copyright. Whether or not a copyright symbol is displayed has no bearing on the materials copyright status. Since the law was amended in 1989 it has not been required to have a copyright notice in evidence to maintain protection.
In Alabama is a lender required to give a notice before foreclosing on a home?
Notice is required in all states.
Where can you find out about a copyright?
It depends on the type of material. Books have notifications on their copyright pages; movies include notifications in the credits; fine art may not be marked at all.
Do you have to officially register it with the US Copyright Office in order for it to be considered copyrighted?
No. Registration of copyright is voluntary. Your work is protected as soon as it is "fixed in a tangible form, recognizable by human or machine". However you will have to be registered if you wish to bring a lawsuit for infringement in US courts.

How much software has been copyright?
Because registration is not required for protection, there is no way to tell how much software has been protected by copyright. On the other hand, since protection is automatic, you can also say that all software is protected by copyright.
On the back cover of sgt peppers lonely hearts club what did it say it was copyrighted for?

Does work have to be published to receive copyright protection?
Generally, no, it does not. As of 1978 in the USA, all works became copyrighted from the moment they were created, although published works still required copyright notice or registration until 1989. Non-published works were given retro-active copyright from the date of creation to 70 years after the death of the author, if an individual, or 120 years from date of creation for any anonymous and pseudonymous works, or works made for hire, never published. Laws of other countries may vary, but those under the Bern Convention do not generally require any formalities for copyright ownership to subsist in the works.
Would it be illegal to download Naruto fandubbed episodes and some fandubbed music and then put it onto a blu ray disc and make your own custom blu ray but not sell it?
All created material is copyright, whether commercially generated or not. Making a copy of any copyright material is against copyright laws in most jurisdictions. Distributing such material is considered more serious but it is the copying that is against the law. Making a custom disc is therefore in breach of copyright. WikiAnswers cannot endorse or condone any breach of the law. One might consider if the owner of the copyright material would approve of the copying or not. If there is no commercial loss for anyone, the copyright holder may well ignore the breach.
