If you write a ritual, it automatically becomes intellectual property (the same as with all writings), and is protected under copyright law.
If your ritual is an initiation ceremony for a private fraternity, and you want to keep it private, the law is on your side. The work belongs to you, it is your invention, your property, to do with as you please.
There were recent proceedings in which Ordo Templi Orientis, an occult fraternity, brought suit against several ISP's, alleging that said ISP's provided websites where private O.T.O. initiation ceremonies were published, in violation of copyright law. O.T.O. won the suit, and the material has been removed from the several websites which were offensive to the owners of the rituals.
Fiat Lvx.


. On the bright side though, you've struck a nerve with someone if they want information to be removed
