Protect My Work has been quite frankly indispensable!
I have huge issues with copyright and the guidance from this website has enabled me to effectively takedown hundreds of links to products which were infringing my copyright - thank you! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend any business who have copyright issues, to make this their 'go to' website.

eBay sellers profiting from my work…
I had eBay sellers profiting from my work. Since registering with ProtectMyWork.com and notifying eBay, all offending listings have been removed.

If you self publish, you need this product, it's worth every penny.
I've used protect my work since 2016. I now have 18 publications and wouldn't sleep at night without the protection of Protect My Work. I've been asked several times by Amazon to prove ownership and the certificate is by far the simplest and acceptable way. You never know when or why you might have to prove your work is yours but I would rather not leave it to chance whether I can, it's my income I'm protecting, after all.

Who We Are
Protect My Work was started by two web designers who found that when pitching graphic designs to potential clients, some would steal those designs and have them developed by others agencies. As design creatives we understand the time, love and care you put into your work and how wrong it is for others to steal that work and use for their own gain.
Protect My Work is a strong deterrent against the theft of your work. Once you can quickly prove ownership of your creative work, in most cases, it stops continued use of your work without your permission.

COPYRIGHT YOUR BOOK OR MANUSCRIPT
Self-publishing a book can be one of the most rewarding achievements of your creative career. Whether you write fiction, poetry, or non-fiction, protecting your work before publication is an important step in safeguarding your rights and proving that you are the original author. Protect My Work allows writers and self-publishers to register their manuscripts, illustrations, and cover designs quickly and securely, giving you a dated certificate of ownership that serves as strong evidence of originality under international copyright law.
Our digital certificates have been successfully used by many independent authors and publishers when publishing through platforms such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). While Protect My Work is not officially affiliated with Amazon, numerous users, online reviews, and real KDP cases show that our certificates are often accepted as valid proof of authorship when requested by Amazon’s Content Review Team. By registering your work before uploading it, you can demonstrate that your material is original and ready for publication with confidence.
COPYRIGHT MUSIC

Once your songs are registered they'll be assigned a unique reference number and a digital certificate is issued with the date, copyright owner and of course the music files. You can make recipients of your music aware that the work is copyrighted and protected with Protect My Work, which acts as a great deterrent to copyright theft.
