By "use" I do not mean use in that way. The only reason I publicly release things is for people to use. That's probably the only reason anyone has done public releases. By use I mean use in their own project. It is immoral to use someone's else's project in your own unless you have explicit permission (in either the form of all-round automatic permission (as in my own Treasury and Dink.Ini Rewrite files, which can be used in ANY Dink project not just dmods) or permission that is granted after release).
As for registering copyright, here in New Zealand copyright legally exists automatically as soon as an original work is created. In fact in New Zealand there is no way to formally apply fot copyright. Here in New Zealand we can only formally aply for Registrations, Trademarks and Patents.
Also in New Zealand it's generally the one that can prove earlier creation (usually with a date on the product). The problem with that, though, is that you could copy someone's else unreleased product and put an earlier date than theirs.
