If you start a clothing line (graphic tee-shirts,sweater,hoodies,etc) and dont copyright it can some1 steal it? - Christian Brown - 01-19-2013 12:24 PM
Say I have evidence like shirt purchases and online social accounts that advertise it (facebook,twitter) and someone decides to take my name and ideas and copyright/trademark it , could this be good evidence to prove iv had the clothing line first ? Need good answers please .

Yes. But copyright is free.

let's try your query from another angle; let's say someone DOES steal your idea and you want to sue them.
Can you? Sure you can. Do you happen to have 35,000 to 50,000 to "prosecute a lawsuit?"
no
so, you, like hundreds of other designers, have to risk being copied.
sorry
happier new year
