well isnt it like any materials you have on your site would be naturally copyrighted by you? i mean… in case of patents, you have to actually file it in a court or such, but that’s not the case for copyright… i read that somewhere… 🙂

well, I personally will never use such a service, but wanted to see  
what you all thought. I’m perectly comfortable using my attorney  
and my common sense for this kind of thing.

seems kinda cheap to me…

Not that i’ve tried a website but my friend designed a product and the cost of a patent and copyright for Australia only ran close to $60,000 AU (about 35k US)
