For Rags I might be using pictures eventually, so will I have to worry about making sure they aren't copy-righted? Then of course there's the issue of people stealing the game and copyrighting it, which I highly doubt would happen, but my paranoia kinda forces me to cover all my bases. I feel like these might be stupid questions, but I'm pretty new to all of this, so I'd want to be careful.
As far as copyright goes: if this is just a small project you're releasing on the web for free and you're using copyrighted images it's technically copyright infringement but 99.99% of the time you're too small of a fish to waste the resources on. The only company I know of that will spend the time and money to stomp out a small project like a RAGS game is Disney. Even then they'll probably give you a cease and desist first so you can just take down anywhere you have your game uploaded and be fine. So steer clear of images using Disney-owned characters and don't expect to sell the game or anything like that.
As far as people trying to steal your game: maybe someone will upload it to a pay-wall file sharing site to make a quick buck off of it but nobody in their right mind will try to claim copyright over it. It's just not worth the liability.
