Copyright of website: A website contains of various works i:e (i) Content Literature which comes under Literary Work (ii) Images and Flash work (which comes under Artistic Work) (iii) software embedded in the website
So firstly it is required to understand what are things their in the website and accordingly ..need to prepare applications under various catogaries of work.
It is also understood fact that the contents of the website changes frequently so each time it would not be feasible for getting the copyright of changed contents however its always suggestive.
For copyright Thee sets of CDs which should contain the entire pages of website is required, you need not be required to provide the source code the object code will be enough.

Dear Client,
once a website is registered with a domain name you are the administrator and from then ion your copy right is automatically protected.. for your life time + 60 years in India. You need to apply for registration of your copy right with the registrar, who is the secretary of the copy right board appointed by the central Government.. You can apply for online registration as well. If somje body infringes with your website contnet or the name of your website you can file a suit for issuance of Permanent injunction and damages to restrain the opposiite party from infringing your copu right and also a relief for damages. You can file criminal cases as well for infringment of your copy right amnd seek punishment of the infringer along with fine.
