I have a question about a website business I thought of. It
will be similar to a very popular site, except with several
new and better features. I think this site will require
software to run on the server just for one of the features.

1. Do I need a copyright or a patent?

2. Do I copyright/patent each individual feature or the
entire site?

3. Does the website actually have to be built and working
before I can protect it?

4.I've also heard that I could write a description of my
idea and get the document notarized in front of a witness.
I've heard this will document when I conceived the idea.
True?

Thanks,
Gaston L. Collins
