Do I still own the copyright if I use online publishing services?

Copyright Questions

Even if you publish your book online you still own the copyright. This is an automatic right that you do not need to register. In North America, copyright registration gives you the legal protection you need to sue for copyright infringement. This is not necessary in the UK. When you use a publisher you should retain the copyright to your work, even if you assign some limited rights to the publisher.
