Why the © symbol alone is not enough

Design copied

A competitor reproduces your layout or brand identity. Without dated proof, it's impossible to demonstrate you created it first.

Content plagiarized

Your text, photos or videos reused without permission. Web content plagiarism is massive and hard to prove after the fact.

Client dispute

A client contests delivery or authorship of the website. Without timestamped proof of intellectual property, it's your word against theirs.

Frequently asked questions about website copyright

Add the notice "© [Year] [Name]" in your site footer. For legally enforceable protection, deposit your site on Copyright01: paste the URL, the system captures and timestamps your content automatically.

No. The © symbol is a deterrent but has no evidentiary value. To prove your prior authorship in court, you need a timestamped deposit with a cryptographic fingerprint.

Copyright applies automatically from the moment of creation under the Berne Convention (181 countries). Registration is not required but creates indispensable proof of ownership in case of dispute.

Yes. Our headless browser captures the page as rendered, including JavaScript. You get 4 captures (desktop, mobile, full page x2) plus a complete HTML archive.

Yes. Deposit each stage to document the evolution of your project. Each capture generates a separate timestamped certificate. Recapture lets you update your proof when the site evolves.

The capture protects the visual appearance (design, brand identity, content). For source code, we recommend a complementary deposit via our GitHub option or ZIP archive.

3 free deposits to start. Then the 5-deposit pack is €4.90, the 20-pack is €14.90, or the unlimited subscription is €9.90/month.
