Are we talking about copyrighting or copywriting? Or copywrighting?
Obviously you can't copyRIGHT handsigns.
But you can copyWRITE to your heart's content. Feel free to submit as many articles as you'd like about handsigns to your local advertising agency or other editorial outlet.
CopyWRIGHTing I guess would be if someone ripped up your article about handsigns and you had to piece it back together with tape and glue. That should be OK as well.
Fraternity and sorority ceremonies are often copyrighted by the copy writers so other groups don't copy their rites.
