Hello Mr. Tore and All,
I just applied for the LLC with a Registering Agent for the State of Georgia (total cost $189.00) and that will take about 15 days before "Kristallklar Publishing, LLC" will become an official publishing company. After that project is completed, I will apply for a US Copyright ($55.00) for "Skizzenbuch: U-Boat Type VII C Project", I'm not sure as to how long the US Copyright process will take. Then I plan on initially permitting a free download of the PDF file on this AMP website (If that is acceptable) and the Subcommittee website for their members only. Perhaps other websites later - I'm not sure at this time.
I have copy protected the PDF file with a unique password run through a four (4) rotor German Naval Enigma Machine Simulator generating the encryption for the file permissions, but as most internet users are aware; any PDF security can be hacked. However, one must consider that Skizzenbuch will have US Copyright protection as any published book and is entitled to the same copyright enforcement. I'm not worried about someone giving a copy of the Skizzenbuch PDF to a friend. However, the only protection that I am looking for is that nothing is modified without mine and my contributor's permission/control.
I will keep all informed about my progress with the Skizzenbuch distribution...
Regards,
Don_
Note: In addition, there will be a folder named "Wallet" (not copy protected) which contains eight large drawings that are referenced in Skizzenbuch.
