No they are not. This site is primarily a public noticeboard and was created because the controllers of government and media have closed all but one regional newspapers in all states of Australia, they have left us with 1 or 2 top newspapers and 1 regional outlet, which means they have removed our ability to publish important documents or notices.

Publishing to the community is essential for your announcement to have standing, you must publish any changes to status, including death, to finalise all claims. If you do not publish a claim and decide to keep it private, then you leave room for another to make a claim at an unknown time or date. Once published for all the world to see then you have given all others the opportunity to object or to make a counter claim and if they miss the opportunity to claim it is their problem not yours.

We do not register certificates, we do record them to verify the claim at a later date if required to do so via application of an interested party. Registration means ownership, if you register a copyright claim with a government then you have chosen to be bound by their statutes and rules. If you make your own claim to the world then you are in a higher jurisdiction. This and more about all kinds of documents are discussed in the forum.

“You don’t need to register for copyright in Australia. The moment an idea or creative concept is documented on paper or electronically it is automatically protected by copyright in Australia. Copyright protection is free and automatic under the Copyright Act 1968.”

The key in the above paragraph is ‘documented’. This means when it has become written and recorded, and to secure that as done it should be published.
