Besides, a shifty lawyer could say you manipulated the date on the print or art (made it earlier)to help your case. The best way to copyright and get your added rights as the artist is to formally register your copyrighted works with the U.S. government. It is fairly simple and cheap to do. Just photograph or scan all your work onto a CD and, following their procedure, register your copyrights with the copyright office. Costs $30 for as many as you want to register at one time. That way your copyright is officially dated and registered.
