The Copyright
Vault

Every character, every page, every game in this house is an original work — and every one of them is sealed below with a cryptographic fingerprint and a timestamp. We built this town. Nobody plays with it, steals from it, or sells it but us.

Automatic Protection

Under 17 U.S.C. § 102, copyright attaches the moment an original work is fixed — no filing needed. Every page of this site is protected the second it publishes.

The Poor Man's Seal

The old trick was mailing yourself the manuscript. Ours is better: a SHA-256 fingerprint of each work, timestamped and stored, proving what existed and when. Evidence, not folklore.

The Full Registration

To actually sue for infringement (and claim statutory damages, 17 U.S.C. §§ 411–412), works get registered with the U.S. Copyright Office at copyright.gov — $45–$65 per work. This vault is the record until then.
