Hello everyone , I wonder what is copyright ... How could copywriting working .. For example if i am making a website on Affiliate programs and write a defenition of Affiliate marketing on it .. i am sure it may be same as of other millions of peoples having website on affiliate marketing ..... I mean thousands of peoples have same thoughts and may use same words to define perticular thing .. So how about it ? if someone copyright defenition of perticular product and then lateron sue everyone who use same defenition .... Second question is Who does the copy writing , i believe its local agencies of every country .. So what about it , i copyright perticular material in india while the other person copywrite the same material in usa or uk ? if you search for anything on google you will find thousands of websites repeating same thing again and again ? so where is copywrite ? ? ... these all stuff turn me off to copywrite or even write any material ... and all i am living is on the income of forums posts lol .
Former is to do with the art of writing. The latter to do with law. They can not be used interchangeably.
It's alarming how many people is posting here copyright questions that are suitable for DP'S legal forum. A sticky defining copywriting, ghostwriting and so on would be useful, otherwise Halloween is near and someone will come over here asking how to invoke spirits to make his/her ghostwriting career As for moving the topic, use report this post to get it moved by a mod
your post clearly explains its not just me , but lot of other peoples get confused too between copywriting and copyright ... So a short message should be displayed on forum' (with difference in copywriting and copyright) . otherwise it will keep peoples confusing who come new to DP .
Well im happy to write up a definition for you but wouldn't it be easier just googling what it is. Below found at:http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/miss_spellings Copyright itself is an automatic right that occurs at the point the work is fixed in a tangible manner, i.e. when it is recorded or written down. It is therefore not strictly speaking possible to have your work copywritten, (indeed this is not even a real word), as you will already hold the copyright. There is a distinct difference between the existence of copyright and registration. Copyright exists whether the work is registered or not, but without registration you may have a difficult time proving it in a dispute. It is perhaps best to think of registration as insurance in case someone decides to steal your work.
Yes & no. If all of us on DP wrote an article on affiliate marketing they wouldn't all be the same. Many would be very similar, and have similar content but each of us has our own unique writing style, and our own unique views on affilate marketing. I write all my own content, and sometimes on topics which have been covered many times by other sites, but my work is still completely original, because I wrote it. There is nothing I dislike more than looking up an article & finding it on 15 different sites. I personally believe a website should have unique content. I know mine does, and I cover many topics which are commonly written about. It's important to also remember that while other webmasters may steal content & pass it off as their own, it is highly unethical. Start out as you plan to continue. It takes time & effort to run a good website, but doing the right thing is the only way to go.
First, as far as I know the word "copyrighting' is also used as a legal term. Although, copyrighting is used more for the very process of creation of content that may be copyrighted later. Second. Copyright Protection is one of the biggest issues that publishers and authors face on the Internet. It's very hard to cope with it. Moreover, it is often just technically impossible. I met a lot of people that filled their websites with stolen content. For the content's owners it's very difficult to track them down. That is why the unlawful practice prospers. Copyright violations are just the same that ordinary theft. So it should be treated adequately. The measures against the practice should be taken by the very owners of the content stolen. Luckily, there are methods that allow to track the violators down like the service that copyscape website offers.
copyRIGHT is the legal intellectual property issue. CopyWRITE is the act of writing copy. CopyRIGHTing is legal, copyWRITing is content. If you are talking about legal protection of intellectual property then use COPYRIGHT. If you are talking about the act of writing text or content use COPYWRITE. And yes, you can get a copyright (c) for the text that you copywrite! Get it.
I used copyscape to find what sites somebody had used to steal his content. He has 9 of my articles on his site, so I knew he'd have used other site's work too. However, you can only use copyscape 20 times in a month, unless you become a premium publisher. My friend discovered another way to track down the original owner of these articles was to just copy 2-3 lines from the article into Google. It worked a charm I'm trying to get this guy to pull my content off his site, but so far he's ignoring me. Sadly he's hosting the site himself, so I have no comeback in that regard. He's in America, I'm in Australia & I fear hiring the services of a lawyer to deal with this is just beyond my scope. I phoned one lawyer about other copyright stuff & they wanted $300 an hour. Still, if he doesn't pull my content I can report it to Google. This is what the Adsense team told me to do (I'm giving him 5 more days to remove my work).
