Questions about Copyright

[tadashimori]

Well, I´m trying to make a Origami book with my Origamis and some old Origamis (like tsuru, tulip, etc..). I want to know how to put a "copyright" on my Origamis and I want to know if I can freely put these old Origamis in my book (I dont know if Tsuru and this kind of Origamis has copyright). Well, I´m going to make my own diagrams in all Origamis, for sure.

Well, I'm not sure how to put a copy right while wrting a book, but I'm sure that your publisher can help you with that.
About the traditional models, no one will object to you putting in a crane and other traditional models. They do not have copyrights one them, so anyone can publish a book with them in it. The diagrams drawn are ussually copyrighted though.

hi,
you should be able to buy copyright depending on what country your in also if you looking for a free way there's always copyleft and considering copyright only last twenty-five years aftyer the creators death i dont think things like the crane or the tsuri will have copyright
