00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.720
Let me cover a few quick things. First of all, welcome to day three. Day three is going to be

2
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:13.200
substantially easier than day two, just so you all know. Okay, we're jumping into copyrights.

3
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:18.480
Copyrights are much easier. There's a lot of things that actually make sense, as opposed to

4
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.440
these intent to use and actual use and like, you know, portions of logos with names and derivatives.

5
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:30.160
I mean, we're going to start going to derivatives, but it's a lot easier. So you can sit back and

6
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:35.440
kind of receive a lot of this. You'll see, it'll make a lot more sense now. So just a little

7
00:00:35.440 --> 00:00:42.960
overview. So yesterday, right afterwards, I did all this video editing and got all the videos

8
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:48.320
ready, started to upload everything. And it was kind of strange. YouTube just kind of, everything

9
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:53.440
froze and then I had to restart it and then it froze and I said, what are you doing? So it was

10
00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:57.840
like almost three in the morning, I think when I was practically done. And then I said, all right,

11
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.600
I'm done with this. And I went to bed and I restarted this morning and it's working now.

12
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:08.480
So it looks like it's only like 10% left on one of them. And then the VIP is 27% left. So

13
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:14.560
very shortly, you all have access to everything. I already posted the video notification in the

14
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:20.720
Facebook group. So that link will be live when the processing is done. Okay. So you'll be all set.

15
00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:27.520
Now, some of you, which I'm thankful for, but some of you have jumped into VIP late.

16
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:34.240
Okay. So like a lot of you jumped in yesterday. There were a lot of you that signed up

17
00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:41.120
yesterday, which is awesome. But that means that you didn't get day one's video. And so what I'm

18
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:47.600
going to do for all of you is I'm going to re-email everybody day one and then separate email you

19
00:01:47.600 --> 00:01:51.120
day two. So you're going to have the video and you're going to have the chat material

20
00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:56.960
separate. All right. So with that being said, today is going to be the last day

21
00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:02.720
that I'm allowing anybody to go into VIP. If you want to go into VIP, you're more than welcome to.

22
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.240
But the reason why is because there's a lot of backend stuff that goes on,

23
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.360
you know, through like I have Kajabi running, I've active campaign running, I have short text

24
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.160
messaging stuff going, all these other things. So when we add somebody, we have to make sure

25
00:02:18.160 --> 00:02:22.320
like in my administrative team, they're adding those extra people in the other programs and

26
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:27.680
that you're getting all the videos and everything on time. So today will be the last day that

27
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.880
somebody can jump into VIP. If you jump into VIP, by all means, we'll give you the video from the

28
00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:40.560
first day, the second day, then obviously the third day you'll get that. And then you'll have

29
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:46.960
everything for 90 days. Okay. And with that, was there anything else I wanted to cover before we

30
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.680
jumped in, Larissa? Do you remember? I think that was, those are main administrative things.

31
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:59.440
Okay. Prizes, prizes now, prizes later. Oh, yes. So that's going to be in the half hour.

32
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.040
So we're going to go through our first series of prizes today. That's going to be at 1230.

33
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:13.200
So you'll see, there'll be a special thing that you're all seeing, and we'll start handing out

34
00:03:13.200 --> 00:03:19.920
the prizes. And I think that's all the, oh, there was one thing that was curious. Apparently, some

35
00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:26.640
people were trying to get into our group and trying to get our content. They can't, which

36
00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:32.720
helps to be an IP attorney, helps to shut people down in that aspect. So yeah, it looks like they've

37
00:03:32.720 --> 00:03:38.720
been, you have to be careful when you post things because people will try to grab the link and then

38
00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:43.520
grab the materials. And so that's one of the reasons, again, why I'm not putting this stuff

39
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:48.640
directly on Facebook. There've been some people who've been trying to get into our group and

40
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:57.280
they cannot. All right. Now I want you to see something. This is supernatural. I don't know

41
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:01.440
if you can see my phone. Oh, now it won't let you see it. My phone just started ringing,

42
00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:08.720
but the phone is actually not ringing, right? This is the caliber of what's been going on

43
00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:13.280
supernaturally in this spirit, as we've been running this talent. So this must be important

44
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:20.240
for you guys. It's like my world. All right. With that, let's jump into copyright. Okay. So

45
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.680
like I said, this is going to be somewhat easier for you. This is going to be very logical

46
00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:35.920
for you. Okay. Let me just look at Danielle. I hope you can share what people can take. Whoa,

47
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:44.800
what was that? Can take from you and Facebook groups and Insta. Yeah. Yeah. No problem with

48
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:51.280
that. I can do that live later for you on that. Okay. So I'm going to share my screen with you,

49
00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:59.840
lovely people. Share. Open this. Okay. I just put this generic definition to

50
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.960
yeah, you should be able to find it online

51
00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:03.600
if you actually look it up.

52
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:05.480
But this is the general definition

53
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.120
of what a copyright is.

54
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.400
Everybody will recognize this Circle C.

55
00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:11.640
Does everybody, you've seen that before, right?

56
00:05:11.640 --> 00:05:12.880
That Circle C?

57
00:05:12.880 --> 00:05:13.720
Okay.

58
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.040
So it provides a right of original works of authorship.

59
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:21.080
I'm gonna show you how difficult something can seem

60
00:05:21.080 --> 00:05:25.000
in the legal world, yet how simple it truly is, right?

61
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.880
They pay us to make things difficult.

62
00:05:26.880 --> 00:05:29.720
All right, provides a right to original works

63
00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:33.000
of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression

64
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.640
now known or later developed.

65
00:05:35.640 --> 00:05:37.360
Look at that, it's doing it again.

66
00:05:38.440 --> 00:05:39.400
Hold on one second.

67
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:41.640
I'm shutting everything down.

68
00:05:41.640 --> 00:05:43.920
So my phone can't even.

69
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.080
All right, now there's not even power on it.

70
00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:52.880
All right, so it provides a right to original works

71
00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:56.120
of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression

72
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.160
now known or later developed

73
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.520
from which they can be perceived, reproduced,

74
00:06:00.520 --> 00:06:02.360
or otherwise communicated either directly

75
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.480
or with the aid of a machine or device.

76
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.040
That seems so difficult, right?

77
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:13.880
So all it is, to make it very simple,

78
00:06:13.880 --> 00:06:16.400
is there's an original work,

79
00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:19.240
some kind of original work, and it's fixed,

80
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:24.240
meaning it's either written or it's like sculpted

81
00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:27.800
or it's like recorded, but there's some way,

82
00:06:28.440 --> 00:06:33.440
that word fixed just means that there's some kind

83
00:06:34.520 --> 00:06:37.440
of tangible mechanism for you to be able to reproduce it,

84
00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:39.600
to grab it, to utilize it, okay?

85
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.440
So like you can have choreography.

86
00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:45.560
Choreography is actually copyrightable.

87
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:48.040
Like videos are copyrightable.

88
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.080
Music is copyrightable.

89
00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:53.560
That list that I gave you, remember day one,

90
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.600
the sheet that I gave you?

91
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:58.000
If anybody has it, raise it up.

92
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.120
There you go, there it is.

93
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.200
That's your security sheet, right?

94
00:07:02.200 --> 00:07:04.720
Like your security blanket security sheet.

95
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:07.360
In there, you'll see under copyrights,

96
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.720
a lot of different things that can fall under copyrights.

97
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:13.360
Now, why is this important?

98
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.360
Copyright is one of the least expensive,

99
00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:22.760
the least expensive mechanisms

100
00:07:22.760 --> 00:07:27.200
that are available for protection, okay?

101
00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:28.120
Your paintings.

102
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:29.720
I know we have a lot of artists here.

103
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.640
I know we have a lot of really talented, look at this.

104
00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:36.980
Now the other phones are, I literally shut off that phone.

105
00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:39.480
Now my other phones are going off.

106
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:40.520
That's hilarious.

107
00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:45.800
So, wow.

108
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:50.800
So there's, basically if you can fix the work,

109
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:56.800
then you have a situation where individuals can reproduce it.

110
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.160
If it can be reproduced, it needs to be protected.

111
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.800
It only costs $65 for you to protect something by copyright.

112
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.960
Okay, $65.

113
00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:12.400
A pad application will cost you somewhere around $10,000.

114
00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:15.720
A trademark will cost you, somebody type in the chat

115
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.640
what a trademark application costs.

116
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.840
Yep, yep, $250, that's it.

117
00:08:23.840 --> 00:08:26.000
Yep, $250, $350, that's right.

118
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.840
Yeah, very good, Karen.

119
00:08:27.840 --> 00:08:28.980
That's it.

120
00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:33.980
So you can see that the cost is substantially low.

121
00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:36.760
Now, when you're dealing with the government,

122
00:08:36.760 --> 00:08:38.120
when you're spending a little bit of money,

123
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.640
you're gonna get a little bit of protection,

124
00:08:39.640 --> 00:08:40.720
just to be clear, all right?

125
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.720
When you spend a lot of money,

126
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.540
you're gonna get a lot more protection, okay?

127
00:08:44.540 --> 00:08:45.800
So what does that mean?

128
00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:50.200
If you file a copyright application on, let's say a poem,

129
00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:54.160
if somebody modifies that a substantial amount,

130
00:08:54.160 --> 00:08:56.880
chances are that you do not infringe the copyright.

131
00:08:56.880 --> 00:08:59.240
And I'm gonna go into specifics with you.

132
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.080
I'm just giving you kind of a general overview

133
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.880
before we go through specific examples.

134
00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:07.620
So as an example, when you look at,

135
00:09:07.620 --> 00:09:09.780
everybody know the painting, the Mona Lisa?

136
00:09:11.040 --> 00:09:13.440
Does anybody here know what's in the background?

137
00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:20.240
I think I saw like one person say yes.

138
00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:23.360
You see, the reason why is because

139
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.040
in the world of copyright,

140
00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:29.080
what you own is what's called the essence of the copyright.

141
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:32.120
Okay, somebody type that in the chat, essence.

142
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.240
Essence of a copyright, okay?

143
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:38.280
That's what you own when it comes to the copyright world.

144
00:09:38.280 --> 00:09:40.800
You own the essence of it.

145
00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:44.440
In the Mona Lisa, nobody cares about the background.

146
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.220
All people care about is her face.

147
00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:48.800
That's it.

148
00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:50.320
I'm pretty sure like, you know,

149
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:51.920
there are a few people out there like,

150
00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:53.360
yeah, I think they're mountains.

151
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.100
No, maybe it's indoors.

152
00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:56.280
No, I can't tell.

153
00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:57.340
Like, I'm not sure.

154
00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:59.980
But the fact of the matter is nobody cares.

155
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:16.000
So if I today took the background of the painting of the Mona Lisa and put my face on it, not looking like Mona Lisa, but I just put my face with the background of the painting, I wouldn't commit copyright infringement.

156
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:21.000
Why? Because the background is not the essence of the copyright.

157
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:28.000
This is why it's so important for you to understand in a copyrightable work, what is the essence of the copyright.

158
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:36.000
So a lot of you here write books. A lot of you. There's a lot of you here that are ridiculously talented.

159
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.000
If nobody's ever told you that, let me be the first. You are ridiculously talented.

160
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:45.000
I've seen your questions. You're writing out what your situation is.

161
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:51.000
And you're running corporations and writing books and writing plays and movies and all sorts of stuff.

162
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.000
You're talented.

163
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.000
Each of those works are protectable by copyright.

164
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.000
But the question is, what is the essence of the copyright?

165
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:08.000
OK, now I'm going to give you specific examples so that as you're trying to determine what exactly do I protect?

166
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:10.000
What can I protect? What can I not protect?

167
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:17.000
I'm going to give you specific examples so that there should be no question as to how to protect in the copyright world.

168
00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:20.000
Because, again, it is so inexpensive.

169
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:23.000
Sixty five bucks. Oh, my gosh.

170
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:29.000
If you could send a notice letter over to another party and say, I have a federal registration for my Web site.

171
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:33.000
Stop copying it. And they disappear like that.

172
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:38.000
That makes it incredibly worth it for sixty five dollars.

173
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:43.000
OK, versus ten thousand dollars for a patent.

174
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:49.000
So I'm going to give you I'm going to share with my share my screen with, you know, there we go.

175
00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:52.000
All right. These are different categories of protectable works.

176
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:59.000
Now you have on the sheet a lot of them, but I'm going to kind of walk through some of these slowly for you.

177
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.000
So the first one is a literary works.

178
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:11.000
OK, so your books, your poems, like your journals, all those things are protectable by copyright.

179
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:26.000
OK, now somebody type in the chat whether or not you believe a Web site is protectable.

180
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.000
Yes, John says yes. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, that's correct. That's right.

181
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:36.000
Yep. Oh, I like that. Yep. Come on. That's good.

182
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.000
Got a little attitude there. That's good.

183
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:43.000
So. All right. Web sites. This is really important.

184
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:50.000
There's a lot of people, including Pedro and others, that get very upset when their material is getting taken from them.

185
00:12:50.000 --> 00:13:01.000
All right. They get very upset about this. And so. Copyright is one way in particular that you can protect your Web sites.

186
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:06.000
Why do you want to protect your Web sites? Let me give you an example.

187
00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:13.000
Before I go into these other examples here. This should be very simple to follow, but if.

188
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.000
I'm going to give you a practical example. I had somebody call me up. All right. He ran a company.

189
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.000
The company created Web sites for dentists. That's all they did. Nothing else.

190
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:28.000
All right. Said, OK, great. He says all these people are copying my material.

191
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.000
Like I spent a lot of time coming up with copy. A lot of time.

192
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:38.000
Right. And so he came up finally with this Web site and there's pictures in there, important images.

193
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:46.000
And so he says. All these other dentists are just coming in, grabbing what they want and then throwing it on their Web site.

194
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:52.000
And I said, OK, well. You just want to file a lawsuit or what do you want to do?

195
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:59.000
He says, well, I want to stop them, but I don't know how. I said, OK, do you have a federal registration for your Web site?

196
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.000
He says, what's that? I said, OK, let me explain something to you.

197
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:09.000
So now I what I did was I took a printout. I took his Web site, every single page of the Web site.

198
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.000
I put them together and then I filed it with the copyright office as one work.

199
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.000
OK, now, right after that, I got a federal registration.

200
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:25.000
Then I sent a cease and desist letter to every single party that was copying material from his Web site.

201
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:32.000
Every single one of them, dozens of them stopped immediately, immediately.

202
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:38.000
There was not one that continued. All right. Now, I'm not guaranteeing you those kind of results.

203
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:46.000
But when they saw my law firm letterhead and they saw that federal registration and the cease and desist, they backed out.

204
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.000
Now, he had sent them nasty grams over and over. None of them were actually complying.

205
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.000
It took the federal registration to make an impact.

206
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:59.000
So what I'm trying to show you is that you may be right in the law.

207
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.660
or you may have a strong case in a situation,

208
00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:05.160
but if you don't have the right tools in place,

209
00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:07.720
the other party is not going to stop, all right?

210
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.040
When you get an official document from the government,

211
00:15:11.040 --> 00:15:13.160
people tend to stop, okay?

212
00:15:13.160 --> 00:15:15.280
Now, technically,

213
00:15:15.280 --> 00:15:18.120
you don't actually have to file a copyright

214
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.900
with the copyright office to actually have rights.

215
00:15:21.760 --> 00:15:23.040
This will actually blow your mind.

216
00:15:23.040 --> 00:15:24.560
Like this is like, what?

217
00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:25.880
I don't understand.

218
00:15:25.880 --> 00:15:27.860
Amanda, I'm going to get to your question in a second.

219
00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:29.100
What about blogs?

220
00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:30.880
That is an awesome question.

221
00:15:32.420 --> 00:15:34.060
I'm going to get to that next.

222
00:15:36.140 --> 00:15:38.900
Larissa, if I move on to another topic, stop me, all right?

223
00:15:38.900 --> 00:15:41.460
I want to hit that because everybody here deals with this.

224
00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:43.700
So I want to make sure I go to that.

225
00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:48.700
So what we ended up doing was,

226
00:15:49.300 --> 00:15:51.460
or he ended up doing was he sent a lot of notifications

227
00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:52.460
to people, nobody stopped.

228
00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:55.260
We got the federal registration, everybody stopped.

229
00:15:55.260 --> 00:15:57.860
But the question is, did he have legal rights?

230
00:15:57.860 --> 00:15:58.860
The answer is yes.

231
00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:03.100
He actually already had copyrights protection

232
00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:08.100
without actually filing with the United States government.

233
00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:11.700
Now, some of you might be thinking that I don't understand.

234
00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:14.020
Well, why did he file them?

235
00:16:14.020 --> 00:16:16.780
Like, why do I have to file a copyright application

236
00:16:16.780 --> 00:16:18.860
with the government if I already have legal rights?

237
00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:20.260
That makes no sense.

238
00:16:20.260 --> 00:16:23.260
Well, this is one of the awkward areas

239
00:16:23.260 --> 00:16:24.420
of intellectual property.

240
00:16:24.420 --> 00:16:25.820
You actually have legal rights,

241
00:16:25.820 --> 00:16:28.660
almost like common law rights and trademarks.

242
00:16:29.340 --> 00:16:31.340
You actually have legal rights and copyrights.

243
00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:35.940
The reason why you file a copyright application

244
00:16:35.940 --> 00:16:38.780
is because then you are guaranteed,

245
00:16:38.780 --> 00:16:40.940
this is one of the few areas in the world

246
00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:43.660
of intellectual property that you're guaranteed something.

247
00:16:43.660 --> 00:16:48.060
You are guaranteed statutory damages, all right?

248
00:16:48.060 --> 00:16:51.580
What that means is at least $500 per infringement.

249
00:16:53.020 --> 00:16:54.220
That's a guarantee.

250
00:16:55.140 --> 00:16:58.220
Now, why do you want guarantees in this world?

251
00:16:58.780 --> 00:17:01.180
The reason why is because there's this phase of litigation.

252
00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:05.020
As all of you know, I'm a litigator and I'm a prosecutor

253
00:17:05.020 --> 00:17:07.099
and I'm a professor and I'm an electrical engineer.

254
00:17:07.099 --> 00:17:08.300
Like, I do all those things.

255
00:17:08.300 --> 00:17:11.020
So I know from the litigation side

256
00:17:11.020 --> 00:17:13.700
that one of the areas where attorneys spend the most time

257
00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:16.300
is trying to prove damages, okay?

258
00:17:16.300 --> 00:17:18.300
That's where you get into an evidence war.

259
00:17:18.300 --> 00:17:21.060
Like, this is how many sales I would have had

260
00:17:21.060 --> 00:17:23.060
had you not been in this business.

261
00:17:23.060 --> 00:17:24.980
Now, I wanna recoup all the things

262
00:17:24.980 --> 00:17:26.940
that you stole from me, right?

263
00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:28.500
You messed up my business in this way.

264
00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:31.580
I wanna be compensated for that.

265
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:33.100
Like, those are the kind of arguments

266
00:17:33.100 --> 00:17:36.860
you bring in litigation in the damages phase.

267
00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:38.660
You don't have to do any of that.

268
00:17:39.820 --> 00:17:40.780
That's the beauty.

269
00:17:40.780 --> 00:17:42.220
If you have a federal registration,

270
00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:43.940
you just get to say, did you do it?

271
00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:46.420
Yep, ding, I win.

272
00:17:46.420 --> 00:17:47.580
That's it.

273
00:17:47.580 --> 00:17:50.220
So that minimizes the amount of time and effort

274
00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:52.460
that you're gonna spend with attorneys

275
00:17:52.460 --> 00:17:55.140
in trying to prove damages, okay?

276
00:17:55.140 --> 00:17:56.740
So that's why you want a federal registration.

277
00:17:57.540 --> 00:17:58.980
That's $65, it's well worth it.

278
00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:02.020
So with the website, with the website,

279
00:18:02.020 --> 00:18:06.140
we filed copyright application for the website.

280
00:18:06.140 --> 00:18:09.100
Now, on the website,

281
00:18:09.100 --> 00:18:11.460
there was something that was incredibly important.

282
00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:14.700
I don't understand to this day why he did this, but he did.

283
00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:16.660
He took a picture of his wife's teeth

284
00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:20.860
and he put the picture of his wife's teeth on his website.

285
00:18:21.780 --> 00:18:23.100
Who does this?

286
00:18:24.140 --> 00:18:25.380
I don't know.

287
00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:28.460
I mean, I hesitate to put pictures of my kids on Facebook.

288
00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:31.660
He's got pictures of his wife's teeth on his website.

289
00:18:31.660 --> 00:18:35.980
Anyways, so he was upset when people were copying

290
00:18:35.980 --> 00:18:38.540
the pictures, the photographs of his wife's teeth.

291
00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:42.220
So I said, well, Bill, question number one,

292
00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:45.740
why are you putting pictures of your wife on your website?

293
00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:47.100
He just kind of laughed at that.

294
00:18:47.100 --> 00:18:48.820
And then I said, all right, so you want to win.

295
00:18:48.820 --> 00:18:50.780
So this is what we're gonna do.

296
00:18:50.780 --> 00:18:53.540
Remember how I told you it's the essence of the copyright?

297
00:18:53.540 --> 00:18:57.180
If we file a 25 page copyright application

298
00:18:57.180 --> 00:18:59.460
for all of the website and a picture,

299
00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:03.380
one picture on one page is part of that,

300
00:19:04.580 --> 00:19:07.020
the chances of winning for copyright infringement

301
00:19:07.020 --> 00:19:11.900
for just copying of like a hundredth of the entire product

302
00:19:11.900 --> 00:19:14.540
is substantially lower than if you just filed

303
00:19:14.540 --> 00:19:17.580
one application for the picture.

304
00:19:17.580 --> 00:19:18.860
Do you see what I'm saying?

305
00:19:18.860 --> 00:19:21.980
So what I'm teaching you now is

306
00:19:22.020 --> 00:19:24.780
I'm teaching you a technique

307
00:19:26.020 --> 00:19:28.300
to increase your chances of winning

308
00:19:28.300 --> 00:19:30.140
if you're really concerned about some of the stuff

309
00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:31.460
on your website.

310
00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:33.540
Take the images that are most important to you

311
00:19:33.540 --> 00:19:36.820
and file separate applications on them, all right?

312
00:19:36.820 --> 00:19:40.140
So if on your website, you have a lot of content, right?

313
00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:42.420
Or in your book, you have a lot of content,

314
00:19:43.700 --> 00:19:46.740
whatever the case may be, and there's an image,

315
00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:49.140
there's a picture that's really important to you.

316
00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:50.580
And what you do is you take that picture

317
00:19:50.580 --> 00:19:52.740
and you file a separate application for that.

318
00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:54.780
Now, you can still have that original work

319
00:19:54.780 --> 00:19:56.100
that has everything in it,

320
00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:59.820
but what you're gonna do is file a separate application.

321
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.240
with just that one piece as well to guarantee that you're going to get damages, okay? Does that make

322
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:12.000
sense? I see a lot of heads going up and down. Now what about for you artists, like you people that do

323
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:17.840
paintings and things like that? What you want to do is take the actual painting itself and file a

324
00:20:17.840 --> 00:20:25.120
copyright application on that, okay? Now what if there's a name associated with it? Like what if

325
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:30.240
what if you have like let's say the painting of Mona Lisa is there but then you have like

326
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:36.640
Mona Lisa on the top of it and that's your trademark, then what would you do? You'd file a

327
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:42.160
trademark application for the name or the logo plus you would file a copyright application for

328
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:48.960
the painting itself, okay? Now what I would personally do is I would remove your logo from

329
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:54.880
the painting or the artwork before you file the application because what you're doing is

330
00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:02.240
you're filing it with your logo on the image when the the logo really you're not intending

331
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:07.360
for the logo to be the essence of the work but the fact that you put that Nike swoosh on your

332
00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:13.120
painting may make somebody consider that Nike swoosh to be the essence of your work in which

333
00:21:13.120 --> 00:21:18.320
case the rest of it doesn't get the consideration you want for enforcement. So get your logos off

334
00:21:18.320 --> 00:21:24.160
your paintings, get your I realize your signatures are all really important to all of you for all of

335
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:29.520
you artists and I get that look my daughter is a remarkable artist blows my mind like she could

336
00:21:29.520 --> 00:21:34.400
take the human eye draw and draw it painted and it literally looks like I'm looking at somebody's

337
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:41.680
eyes on a piece of paper it's just it blows my mind you know but at the same time I say do me a

338
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:47.200
do me a favor like let's copyright that work before you sign off on it you know especially

339
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:52.080
because when you sign she has this really stylish way of signing. I don't want a chance that

340
00:21:52.080 --> 00:21:56.880
somebody's going to consider that signature to be the essence of the work all right so I say let's

341
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:02.160
follow this now sign and do all the decorating you want all the etching and everything no problem

342
00:22:02.800 --> 00:22:08.400
and then if you want to follow again we could do that but you know in the meantime at least I know

343
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:13.360
the concrete important work is protected and that's really important. Now let me answer the

344
00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:21.920
blog thing and then we're going to give away our first prize blogs yes you can protect blogs

345
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:28.240
under copyright but it gets really messy because the question is who actually owns it

346
00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:34.400
right because like like I have my own work here and you know what I might do is I might actually

347
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:39.360
post the thread that I've seen that covers blogs and copyrights because some people are saying

348
00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:44.240
that shouldn't be protected because I when I publish my material on your blog so how do you

349
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:50.240
get a copyright on your blog when my material is on your blog so there's like these nasty arguments

350
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:56.880
on both sides it's a really messy area of the law in general if you have your own blog even if other

351
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:02.080
people are contributing to that you can make the argument that it's my copyrightable work but

352
00:23:02.800 --> 00:23:06.800
again I've seen arguments on the other side so what I'm going to do is I'm going to interact with

353
00:23:06.800 --> 00:23:12.640
you a little bit on this topic in the Facebook group all right I'll get you some more information

354
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:17.680
and then what you can do is look at your specific blog and see which category it falls under

355
00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:22.800
because there are blogs where you do all the writing yourself and there are blogs where you

356
00:23:22.800 --> 00:23:28.240
let everybody just kind of contribute you know with their own subject matter their own titles

357
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:33.760
their own information they're kind of a little different like if I do a blog post and then all

358
00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:40.480
of a sudden like Danielle goes in and she types a comment that's different from Danielle starting

359
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:47.200
the subject matter and then I'm commenting so who's the author of the work and then it really

360
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:53.280
breaks down to you know ownership issues there's a lot of it's a really mushy area so that's the

361
00:23:53.280 --> 00:23:58.720
reason why I like these kind of questions because it really makes you think well what's my specific

362
00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:04.960
scenario so so anyways I'll go into the Facebook group and I will give you some more info on that

363
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:10.800
all right and with that what I want to do is give away prize number one

364
00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:19.280
so I'm going to show you what prize number one is you're going to get a a version of this it's

365
00:24:19.280 --> 00:24:25.120
not this one here but you're going to get a version of this this here is my logo you see that that's

366
00:24:25.120 --> 00:24:33.680
my logo you'll see my logo all over the place like I I have it on my website I have it I have

367
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:40.800
it you know on the on the the messages that you got it's my personal logo now what this is is

368
00:24:40.800 --> 00:24:47.680
it an electronic business card so all you need to do instead of having all the paper business cards

369
00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:55.040
which like look at this this is this is my desk you see all these yeah I'll make it more clear

370
00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:59.920
you see all these like these are these are all the business cards that are like literally

371
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.780
sitting, and that's only one pile of them.

372
00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:05.040
These are like people have given me business cards at different times.

373
00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:10.080
So as opposed to doing that, you get this,

374
00:25:10.760 --> 00:25:12.300
you take your phone, you go next to it.

375
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:17.620
All your info shows up on their phone. That's it. That's prize number one,

376
00:25:17.620 --> 00:25:20.600
which we're going to give away right now. Stacy, can you,

377
00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:25.200
can you help us out with that? Everybody say hi to Stacy.

378
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.960
Just type in a chat. Hi, Stacy. Stacy is helping us out. Um,

379
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:33.440
she's with an agency that I'm newly working with on this challenge.

380
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.880
And, um, really just, she's just phenomenal.

381
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.800
So go right ahead, my friend. So all the names are in here,

382
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:42.520
just run it. And we're going to see who wins

383
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:53.120
Miguel, Miguel Rivera.

384
00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:57.120
Now Miguel was at the conference. Um,

385
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.480
and actually he saw the business card, which is pretty funny.

386
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:04.040
So I think he's really going to be interested in this. So congratulations,

387
00:26:04.060 --> 00:26:09.200
Miguel. Um, I will be sending that out to you, uh,

388
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:10.920
very shortly. So you'll have that.

389
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.200
And we'll be hitting some of the other prizes shortly as well. Okay.

390
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:19.640
So we've got three other prizes, uh, $2 50

391
00:26:22.080 --> 00:26:26.040
Amazon cards, but then we also have one hour with me.

392
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:29.080
Um, that's that one hour.

393
00:26:29.080 --> 00:26:33.520
You can ask any question you want on any topic of intellectual property.

394
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:35.720
Uh, and just so you know, my,

395
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:40.280
what I charge for that because I'm covering all patents, trademarks,

396
00:26:40.300 --> 00:26:41.520
copyrights, trade secrets.

397
00:26:41.560 --> 00:26:44.320
That's actually goes higher than my normal billing rate. Um,

398
00:26:44.760 --> 00:26:48.520
I charge for a half hour to 90 minutes to be along with me. It's two grand.

399
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.600
And I cover literally any topic. Like I go in,

400
00:26:52.600 --> 00:26:56.200
I do a whole IP assessment of your situation and tell you exactly what to do in

401
00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:56.720
that moment.

402
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:01.960
So you're going to get that essentially for the price of the $95 signing

403
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.960
up. We're going to do that on Friday. That's going to be our final gift. Okay.

404
00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:10.160
All right. So let's jump in. Let's continue with copyrights here.

405
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:15.960
I'm going to go back to sharing my screen. Nothing too complicated, right?

406
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:19.680
I mean, this, this hasn't been too thick, not too difficult. Good.

407
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:24.320
Copyrights don't tend to be incredibly difficult. Um, all right.

408
00:27:24.800 --> 00:27:27.840
Other categories of protectable works. Everybody can see my screen, right?

409
00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:32.880
Okay. Good. Number two, musical works.

410
00:27:33.080 --> 00:27:36.640
So if you are doing, obviously,

411
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:41.040
if you're doing any recordings, all that's protectable there that falls on the

412
00:27:41.040 --> 00:27:45.120
musical works. Okay. Um, dramatic works,

413
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:48.160
those are all protectable as well.

414
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.880
Now I'm going to actually show you a place where you can look up

415
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:58.640
every single one of these and understand more information

416
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:02.280
with regard to that specific type of work.

417
00:28:02.320 --> 00:28:04.760
I'm going to show you that right after I go over this list.

418
00:28:06.080 --> 00:28:10.240
So the next category, Hey, maybe some of you are pantomimes, right? Like,

419
00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:13.840
you know, I don't know if any of you guys do that stuff,

420
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:17.600
but like pantomimes, you can protect your works. Uh,

421
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.080
choreographic works. Paula Abdul has plenty of choreographic works.

422
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.080
That she actually is protected. Uh, they all belong to her.

423
00:28:26.560 --> 00:28:29.760
We've talked about as well. Pictorial works grab.

424
00:28:29.800 --> 00:28:33.680
If you are photographers, your works are protectable.

425
00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:36.960
The second that you take that picture, it's protectable. Now,

426
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.960
let me give you a little warning here just for a second.

427
00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:46.320
Let's talk a little bit about tick-tock. Okay. Um,

428
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:48.320
this is a very sensitive topic.

429
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:54.160
Like the tick-tock world is what I refer to as

430
00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:58.440
the minefield of the IP profession. Okay.

431
00:28:58.520 --> 00:29:03.480
It is nasty. And I mean, bad, like you go on there,

432
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.800
you go on tick-tock and you take, like,

433
00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:09.160
let's say you do an original work, your own recordings.

434
00:29:09.200 --> 00:29:13.720
You're singing this song. Then all of a sudden it's kind of funny,

435
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:17.440
but it's kind of sad in the IP realm. All of a sudden, what do you see?

436
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:20.080
You see two dogs.

437
00:29:20.600 --> 00:29:24.080
One dog is like howling. And as a dog is howling,

438
00:29:24.560 --> 00:29:28.640
the song that you're singing is coming out of dog's mouth. You know, it's,

439
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.360
it's kind of like, because in tick-tock you can,

440
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:35.240
you can splice out the audio. All right.

441
00:29:35.280 --> 00:29:38.800
You can splice out the audio and then you can save that audio and then create a

442
00:29:38.800 --> 00:29:43.160
new work and then just splice in the audio with it. It's,

443
00:29:43.280 --> 00:29:44.360
it's a really cool tool,

444
00:29:44.360 --> 00:29:48.040
but the problem is you're literally committing copyright infringement.

445
00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:51.840
It's like everywhere. So that's why when you sign up for tick-tock,

446
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.520
you literally waive all your rights.

447
00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:57.440
So all of you new creators out there,

448
00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:00.080
if you want to get your new creative.

449
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:07.600
works out there to the public. YouTube's pretty good. Vimeo is pretty good because the works that

450
00:30:07.600 --> 00:30:13.120
you're recording on YouTube, they have a spider on the back end that actually will be able to

451
00:30:13.120 --> 00:30:17.840
determine whether or not it's a copyrightable work when they process your video.

452
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:23.920
Like if I was running right now within the background some song from Bethel Music,

453
00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:31.680
the second I try to upload that into YouTube, I'm going to get a warning of copyright violation.

454
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.800
Even though Bethel, and I know the people at Bethel, even though the people at Bethel,

455
00:30:36.800 --> 00:30:42.000
first of all, wouldn't care, but it's an automated system. It will automatically say you're in

456
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:48.720
violation of copyright. For that reason, no ads can be run on your video. That's going to come

457
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:56.960
up immediately. That does not happen in TikTok. In TikTok, anything you put up, completely free

458
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:04.160
to do whatever you want. Now, I'm looking at Amanda Winder here. As I'm looking at Amanda,

459
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:10.800
I'm seeing all these really incredible paintings behind her. As you look at

460
00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:19.440
these incredible paintings, each one of those, each separate one of those is a protectable work.

461
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:25.600
Every single one of them. I'm trying to, let me see, one, two. I'm seeing three of those.

462
00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:31.600
Did you actually create those? This is my art. It's my sister's art.

463
00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:37.360
It's your art? Wow. That is pretty remarkable. Yeah, that's beautiful work. Well done.

464
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:43.600
Thank you. Yeah, so each one of those is a protectable work. Now, what would happen

465
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:50.640
if she said, you know what? I don't want to file separate copyright applications for every single

466
00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:57.760
painting, one by one by one. I want to put them all in a book. You can do that. That's called a

467
00:31:57.760 --> 00:32:05.520
compilation. Somebody type in the chat the word compilation. Now, here's the issue

468
00:32:05.520 --> 00:32:09.520
with compilations. If you file a compilation work where you have all these different,

469
00:32:09.520 --> 00:32:14.640
like all these different paintings or images all together, and you file that one work,

470
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:19.520
the question is what's the strength of one of the images within that compilation, right? Because you

471
00:32:19.520 --> 00:32:27.760
can file a compilation of 200 different paintings or different drawings. Like my daughter has books

472
00:32:27.760 --> 00:32:36.320
upon books of sketches. And these sketches are like amazing. So she can technically file

473
00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:40.960
an individual copyright application for every single image in her sketchbooks,

474
00:32:40.960 --> 00:32:45.440
or she could file them all together as a compilation. The problem if you file a compilation

475
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:56.320
is that if image number 23 of 200 is remarkably important, the question is what's the essence of

476
00:32:56.320 --> 00:33:03.680
your copyright? So if that image is remarkably important to you, I would take that one image

477
00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:09.520
and file that image separate. That's just what I would do because it's so inexpensive. So I would

478
00:33:09.520 --> 00:33:16.240
file one application for image number 23, and then I would file one compilation work for the 200.

479
00:33:17.040 --> 00:33:26.480
Okay, so you can by all means file multiple works together in one application as a compilation.

480
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:31.760
Just remember that the more things that are in your compilation, the lower the strength of your

481
00:33:31.760 --> 00:33:39.360
copyright application for one thing within that compilation. So if you have 40 paintings and one

482
00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:45.520
of them is the Mona Lisa, you might want to file a separate copyright application for the Mona Lisa.

483
00:33:45.520 --> 00:33:50.880
Make sense? All right, so let me go back here. I'm going to go through the other

484
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:58.720
means of protection, and then I am going to show you where you can register all these,

485
00:33:58.720 --> 00:34:03.280
and I'm going to show you where you can find definitions as well. So let me share my screen again.

486
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:13.520
There we go. Okay, so we just talked about pictorial, graphical works. There's also

487
00:34:13.600 --> 00:34:20.239
sculptural works. Motion pictures, those are all protectable. Audio-visual works,

488
00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:26.960
those are all protectable. Sound recordings, those are all protectable. So you have,

489
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:31.600
you might be asking, well, what's the difference between a musical work and a sound recording,

490
00:34:31.600 --> 00:34:39.199
right? I'm going to drop, I don't think I dropped this link for you. I typically

491
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:45.280
wait for the thing that I'm doing on Thursday, but I think I'm going to drop a link for you.

492
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:52.960
If you're creating new works, what you can actually do is there's a website you can go to

493
00:34:53.520 --> 00:34:58.400
to get a license, non-exclusive license, to all of these audio,

494
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.620
audio clips or sounds or musical works,

495
00:35:02.620 --> 00:35:04.300
all these things for one price.

496
00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:08.820
Like you pay one price and then you can actually include

497
00:35:08.820 --> 00:35:12.060
that in all of your recordings, in all of your videos,

498
00:35:12.060 --> 00:35:16.420
anything you wanna do, you have a license to use them all.

499
00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:18.580
And it's like something like 9.95 a month.

500
00:35:18.580 --> 00:35:20.620
It's incredibly cheap.

501
00:35:20.620 --> 00:35:23.060
So I'm gonna put that in the Facebook group.

502
00:35:23.060 --> 00:35:26.580
Larissa, can you just DM me on that please?

503
00:35:26.580 --> 00:35:29.180
So I'll put that in the Facebook group for you tonight.

504
00:35:29.180 --> 00:35:31.860
So then as you're creating your own works

505
00:35:31.860 --> 00:35:35.040
and you want the sound of thunder in the background,

506
00:35:35.040 --> 00:35:37.460
the audio work is there, the sound recording is there.

507
00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:40.540
Or if you wanna do certain sounds, some songs,

508
00:35:40.540 --> 00:35:41.380
those are there.

509
00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:44.020
But sound recordings, what sound recordings are

510
00:35:44.020 --> 00:35:47.900
is like the, let me share my screen again.

511
00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:51.340
Sound recordings here really would be like the lightning

512
00:35:51.340 --> 00:35:54.580
in the background or like a scream or something like that.

513
00:35:54.580 --> 00:35:56.980
Those are like sounds, right?

514
00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:59.140
The musical works are actually the songs

515
00:35:59.140 --> 00:36:00.420
that are created with them.

516
00:36:00.420 --> 00:36:03.100
And then there are architectural works as well.

517
00:36:03.100 --> 00:36:07.420
So if you're actually working even in interior design,

518
00:36:07.420 --> 00:36:10.820
you know how you come out with those images that you create?

519
00:36:10.820 --> 00:36:12.660
My daughter is going to school for architecture

520
00:36:12.660 --> 00:36:13.940
and interior design.

521
00:36:13.940 --> 00:36:14.820
She goes to RPI.

522
00:36:14.820 --> 00:36:18.260
So that each of her works are protectable, right?

523
00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:21.840
So I'm gonna share something with you now in the chat.

524
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:27.700
Capture, paste.

525
00:36:27.700 --> 00:36:29.180
All right, check this out.

526
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:32.600
This link right here.

527
00:36:32.600 --> 00:36:33.480
Yeah, code.

528
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:35.480
So Libby types in code.

529
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:37.400
Yes, so software.

530
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:44.160
Software is also something that is protectable.

531
00:36:44.160 --> 00:36:46.400
But here's the way it works with software.

532
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:50.960
Software, the functionality of the software

533
00:36:51.040 --> 00:36:53.040
is protectable by patent.

534
00:36:53.040 --> 00:36:57.600
The code is protectable by copyright, okay?

535
00:36:57.600 --> 00:37:00.080
Now, for copyright applications,

536
00:37:00.080 --> 00:37:02.800
you're owning the exact embodiment.

537
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:04.560
That means the code that's written.

538
00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:09.520
If you wrote it in Fortran or C or HTML or JavaScript,

539
00:37:09.520 --> 00:37:12.060
whatever it is, that code is what's protected.

540
00:37:12.060 --> 00:37:14.240
If somebody modifies the code,

541
00:37:15.640 --> 00:37:19.520
then it depends upon whether or not it's a derivative work.

542
00:37:20.160 --> 00:37:22.120
Meaning, is it just slightly modified

543
00:37:22.120 --> 00:37:24.640
or is it like a completely new work?

544
00:37:24.640 --> 00:37:27.480
Okay, so if you write 400 pages of code

545
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:29.400
and somebody copies one page of code

546
00:37:29.400 --> 00:37:33.320
in their 400 page software program,

547
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:36.800
chances are that they didn't commit copyright infringement

548
00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:39.480
because they copied such a small portion

549
00:37:40.460 --> 00:37:41.680
of what's actually there.

550
00:37:41.680 --> 00:37:42.720
Does that make sense?

551
00:37:44.040 --> 00:37:45.720
Okay, good, good.

552
00:37:45.720 --> 00:37:48.160
Looks like people were all following along.

553
00:37:48.160 --> 00:37:51.240
Okay, so now I'm gonna go to this site here

554
00:37:51.240 --> 00:37:52.480
that I just showed you.

555
00:37:57.200 --> 00:37:59.460
And I'm gonna show you what this looks like.

556
00:38:02.080 --> 00:38:04.680
Share my screen.

557
00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:06.160
There we go, okay.

558
00:38:06.160 --> 00:38:08.280
All right, the link I just provided you

559
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:12.600
is for the United States Copyright Office.

560
00:38:12.600 --> 00:38:14.880
Can everybody see the screen?

561
00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.100
Okay, great.

562
00:38:16.100 --> 00:38:20.500
If you scroll down, you'll see types of works.

563
00:38:20.500 --> 00:38:21.340
See that?

564
00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:25.300
Every one that I just talked to you about is here.

565
00:38:25.300 --> 00:38:27.820
Literary works, performing arts, visual arts,

566
00:38:27.820 --> 00:38:30.220
digital content, motion pictures, photographs,

567
00:38:30.220 --> 00:38:31.420
they're all in here.

568
00:38:31.420 --> 00:38:34.100
Just look at the words underneath it.

569
00:38:34.100 --> 00:38:37.060
So for literary works, articles, periodicals,

570
00:38:37.060 --> 00:38:39.820
fiction, nonfiction, music, you know,

571
00:38:39.820 --> 00:38:42.140
under performing arts, music,

572
00:38:42.140 --> 00:38:45.460
it breaks it down to what exactly is protectable.

573
00:38:45.460 --> 00:38:48.940
Now, when you click on learn more,

574
00:38:48.940 --> 00:38:51.140
so let's go into visual arts.

575
00:38:51.140 --> 00:38:53.260
You pick on learn more.

576
00:38:53.260 --> 00:38:55.300
Now you can see more of a description

577
00:38:55.300 --> 00:38:58.140
of what exactly is protectable.

578
00:38:58.140 --> 00:39:02.700
Then once you go underneath the description,

579
00:39:02.700 --> 00:39:05.700
you'll see specifically, you'll be able to select

580
00:39:05.700 --> 00:39:08.260
what exactly is your category.

581
00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:10.820
Oh, I'm pictorial, graphical, or sculptural works,

582
00:39:10.820 --> 00:39:12.720
because I do, I'm a photographer.

583
00:39:12.720 --> 00:39:14.140
I'm not in real life, I'm just saying,

584
00:39:14.620 --> 00:39:16.860
if you're a photographer, you just click on that.

585
00:39:16.860 --> 00:39:19.220
Boom, it tells you exactly what the law says

586
00:39:19.220 --> 00:39:22.220
with regard to that, and you can click right here

587
00:39:22.220 --> 00:39:24.740
to register a visual arts work,

588
00:39:24.740 --> 00:39:27.380
because you fall under that category, right?

589
00:39:27.380 --> 00:39:30.300
You click on that, and that's it.

590
00:39:30.300 --> 00:39:33.180
And now you'll be taken to another screen,

591
00:39:34.560 --> 00:39:38.940
and you'll be able to fill out, we're waiting for it.

592
00:39:40.660 --> 00:39:43.760
Yes, it's okay that you know where I'm located.

593
00:39:45.020 --> 00:39:47.500
And now you can go through this whole process

594
00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:49.300
of filling out a copyright application,

595
00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:51.180
which you could do on your own.

596
00:39:51.180 --> 00:39:52.620
This is not that difficult.

597
00:39:52.620 --> 00:39:54.900
Copyright applications are very simple.

598
00:39:54.900 --> 00:39:56.940
You just want to create your own account,

599
00:39:56.940 --> 00:39:59.020
and then work from there, okay?

600
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:00.840
Very simple.

601
00:40:00.840 --> 00:40:03.020
I mean, it's one of the easiest areas

602
00:40:03.020 --> 00:40:04.760
to actually obtain rights.

603
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:07.340
Now, if you have specific questions, you can click.

604
00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:09.760
There's additional information in here.

605
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:11.040
It's very user-friendly.

606
00:40:11.040 --> 00:40:13.280
I would just get familiar with this site.

607
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:15.440
You have the link for it now.

608
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:18.600
If you're doing instead books, that's a literary work.

609
00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:19.900
Click on learn more.

610
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.400
And now there's your definition,

611
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:27.120
tells you exactly what is protectable.

612
00:40:27.120 --> 00:40:29.040
You click on register literary work.

613
00:40:29.040 --> 00:40:29.880
That's it.

614
00:40:30.120 --> 00:40:32.160
And then fill out a copyright application.

615
00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:35.040
It's very simple stuff, okay?

616
00:40:35.040 --> 00:40:37.600
Now, if you're not sure how to do any of this,

617
00:40:37.600 --> 00:40:39.160
there are tutorials right here.

618
00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:41.600
Resources, standard application, tutorial,

619
00:40:41.600 --> 00:40:43.580
how to actually file one.

620
00:40:43.580 --> 00:40:46.560
It breaks it down for you.

621
00:40:46.560 --> 00:40:48.680
Just watch the videos.

622
00:40:48.680 --> 00:40:50.320
That's it.

623
00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:51.780
Very simple stuff.

624
00:40:54.040 --> 00:40:55.680
So I just wanted to share that with you

625
00:40:55.680 --> 00:40:57.680
because a lot of times people say,

626
00:40:57.680 --> 00:40:59.320
oh, go file a copyright application.

627
00:40:59.640 --> 00:41:00.960
And you go, well, how?

628
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:01.800
Where do I go?

629
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:02.800
What do I do?

630
00:41:02.800 --> 00:41:06.160
So now, let me ask you a question.

631
00:41:06.160 --> 00:41:09.100
Let's say I have a book, all right?

632
00:41:09.100 --> 00:41:10.420
And my book has a title.

633
00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:13.440
It has a logo on it.

634
00:41:13.440 --> 00:41:16.780
And then it's like 200 pages long.

635
00:41:18.640 --> 00:41:21.760
And it's the only book that I've written.

636
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:23.960
Okay, there's only one book.

637
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.720
And let's say it's called Running Home.

638
00:41:28.240 --> 00:41:30.640
That's the name of the book, Running Home, okay?

639
00:41:31.520 --> 00:41:33.140
And so it says Running Home,

640
00:41:33.140 --> 00:41:35.760
and then it's the book, and it's 300 pages.

641
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:37.920
What categories of intellectual property

642
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:40.640
do you think are associated with that

643
00:41:40.640 --> 00:41:41.880
from what I just told you?

644
00:41:43.120 --> 00:41:45.560
And just so it's clear, there's a trick question.

645
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.920
There's one that you'll definitely know immediately.

646
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:52.380
The question is the second part.

647
00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:54.600
I just want to see where we are.

648
00:41:54.720 --> 00:41:57.720
Compilation, trademark copyright.

649
00:41:59.200 --> 00:42:00.380
People are afraid to answer

650
00:42:00.380 --> 00:42:02.280
because they don't want to be wrong.

651
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:03.120
Let's see here.

652
00:42:04.600 --> 00:42:06.920
There is no being wrong when you're learning, okay?

653
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:07.760
Doesn't matter.

654
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:11.520
Okay, that's good, that's good, that's good.

655
00:42:11.520 --> 00:42:12.360
All right, awesome.

656
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:14.300
Okay, so this is a tricky one.

657
00:42:15.600 --> 00:42:19.080
There's a refined area of the law for this, for books.

658
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:22.680
If this is the only book you've written,

659
00:42:22.680 --> 00:42:25.400
you cannot file a trademark for the title.

660
00:42:26.560 --> 00:42:29.040
It's kind of unusual, right?

661
00:42:29.040 --> 00:42:30.560
You would think, well, hold it, it's a title.

662
00:42:30.560 --> 00:42:32.080
Like I want people to be attracted

663
00:42:32.080 --> 00:42:35.560
or like drawn towards this name.

664
00:42:35.560 --> 00:42:40.560
Yeah, but the problem with copyright is that you can,

665
00:42:41.200 --> 00:42:42.280
well, actually with trademark.

666
00:42:42.280 --> 00:42:44.460
The problem with trademark is that it needs to be

667
00:42:44.460 --> 00:42:46.400
an identification as to a source of goods.

668
00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:49.360
If it's only one book, the government doesn't believe

669
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:50.640
that there's enough recognition

670
00:42:50.640 --> 00:42:51.920
with regard to that one book.

671
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:56.200
And for that reason, you can't actually own a trademark

672
00:42:56.200 --> 00:42:57.720
for the name of that book.

673
00:42:57.720 --> 00:43:00.080
It needs to be a series.

674
00:43:00.080 --> 00:43:02.360
So if you have multiple books,

675
00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:05.800
then in fact, that's called a series.

676
00:43:05.800 --> 00:43:08.360
If there's a series and the same name is used

677
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:12.520
for that series, then you can file a trademark application

678
00:43:12.520 --> 00:43:14.640
for that name, all right?

679
00:43:14.640 --> 00:43:16.480
Like one that would probably jump out

680
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:18.760
to everybody is Harry Potter.

681
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:21.480
Like tons of books that were written, right?

682
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.760
Well, that name, they can file a trademark application

683
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:26.720
for, and they did.

684
00:43:26.720 --> 00:43:28.560
So they own that name.

685
00:43:28.560 --> 00:43:30.800
Same thing, if you have like a series

686
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:32.320
of five, six different books,

687
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:36.080
you can file a trademark application for the name

688
00:43:36.080 --> 00:43:37.560
because it's in a series.

689
00:43:37.560 --> 00:43:39.520
But if you have a single book,

690
00:43:39.520 --> 00:43:41.760
chances are very likely you're not gonna win.

691
00:43:42.760 --> 00:43:43.840
Very likely you're not gonna win.

692
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:45.920
Larissa, if there's specific questions

693
00:43:45.920 --> 00:43:49.200
as I'm closing up for like the next 10 minutes,

694
00:43:49.200 --> 00:43:51.600
if there's specific ones that are kind

695
00:43:51.600 --> 00:43:54.720
of jumping out to you, just let me know

696
00:43:54.720 --> 00:43:57.840
and I'll see if I can answer some questions for people.

697
00:43:57.840 --> 00:43:59.720
Obviously in VIP, we're gonna go deeper.

698
00:43:59.720 --> 00:44:01.960
You can go live with me, interact,

699
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:04.120
tell me your specific situations,

700
00:44:04.120 --> 00:44:06.040
and I'll be able to give you some guidance

701
00:44:06.040 --> 00:44:07.320
on what the law says.

702
00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:09.280
But separate from that, I'm gonna try

703
00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:11.720
to answer maybe two or three questions here.

704
00:44:14.480 --> 00:44:18.480
Okay, should I continue or did you have one now, Larissa?

705
00:44:19.920 --> 00:44:21.040
Just continue, okay, good.

706
00:44:21.040 --> 00:44:21.880
All right, good.

707
00:44:21.880 --> 00:44:24.120
So that's the site that I would use.

708
00:44:24.120 --> 00:44:25.840
I would utilize that site.

709
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:28.560
It's very easy to use.

710
00:44:28.560 --> 00:44:31.880
Now, the question is, what exactly are the rights

711
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:35.040
that you gain when you have a copyright?

712
00:44:36.560 --> 00:44:39.480
So let me show you the rights that you actually gain.

713
00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:42.480
These are the rights that are granted by a copyright, okay?

714
00:44:45.520 --> 00:44:48.000
You have the right to reproduce the work itself.

715
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:51.800
And just for those of you that are writing fiercely

716
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:53.280
right now, I'm gonna take this

717
00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:56.440
and put it inside the Facebook group for you, okay?

718
00:44:56.440 --> 00:45:00.200
So you can just listen if you want to, or you can write.

719
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:02.960
It's up to you, but I'm going to take this one in particular.

720
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:04.800
I'll create this into a separate document.

721
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.480
I'll drop it inside the Facebook group for you.

722
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:09.400
So you have the right to reproduce the work.

723
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:13.880
That means my videos, the recordings of our sessions

724
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:16.560
together, those are copyrightable works.

725
00:45:16.560 --> 00:45:19.880
Nobody can actually take that and reproduce it.

726
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.400
If somebody does that, they're violating my copyright.

727
00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.920
And it's very silly to violate the IP rights of an IP

728
00:45:25.920 --> 00:45:27.600
attorney.

729
00:45:27.600 --> 00:45:29.160
There's certain things you don't do.

730
00:45:29.160 --> 00:45:30.120
That's just silly.

731
00:45:30.120 --> 00:45:32.640
So that's part one.

732
00:45:32.640 --> 00:45:34.000
Reproduce the work.

733
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:37.000
The paintings, like the paintings behind Amanda.

734
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:42.040
Or Amanda, is the name Amanda of the artist?

735
00:45:42.040 --> 00:45:44.400
Or is that the person who holds the account?

736
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:46.040
Who's the artist?

737
00:45:46.040 --> 00:45:46.760
I'm the artist.

738
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:47.800
I'm Bridget.

739
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:48.880
We're sisters.

740
00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:51.840
But Amanda owns and runs both of the businesses.

741
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:53.880
I'm just the painter.

742
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:55.120
Got it.

743
00:45:55.120 --> 00:45:55.800
The brains.

744
00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:57.000
The brains with the brains.

745
00:45:57.000 --> 00:45:57.560
Got it.

746
00:45:57.560 --> 00:45:59.000
The brains behind the operations.

747
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:00.160
The talent with the brains.

748
00:46:00.160 --> 00:46:00.680
Got it.

749
00:46:00.680 --> 00:46:01.280
Yeah.

750
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:03.640
Good combination.

751
00:46:03.640 --> 00:46:05.320
So the right to reproduce the work.

752
00:46:05.320 --> 00:46:07.800
Now, this begs a very important question.

753
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:10.360
So I'm going to use this scenario that's

754
00:46:10.360 --> 00:46:13.440
going on right there with that partnership.

755
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:16.440
Who actually owns the paintings?

756
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:19.960
Let's say those paintings are done for the company.

757
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:23.600
I'm hoping I don't create a rift between partnerships here.

758
00:46:23.600 --> 00:46:26.440
So it looks like they get along very well.

759
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:27.840
So it shouldn't be a problem.

760
00:46:28.600 --> 00:46:32.040
The person who actually owns the copyright

761
00:46:32.040 --> 00:46:35.840
is the person who actually creates the work, not

762
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:38.040
the company.

763
00:46:38.040 --> 00:46:41.240
That's incredibly important to know.

764
00:46:41.240 --> 00:46:43.960
So if you own a corporation, if you have a corporation,

765
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:45.320
you have different artists there,

766
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:47.160
and they're creating different works for you,

767
00:46:47.160 --> 00:46:49.680
you don't actually own those finished works

768
00:46:49.680 --> 00:46:52.040
unless they assign a right title and interest over

769
00:46:52.040 --> 00:46:53.000
to the company.

770
00:46:53.000 --> 00:46:56.080
The artists own the work.

771
00:46:56.080 --> 00:46:58.000
This is why it's very important for you

772
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:02.520
to also realize that if you hire a corporation,

773
00:47:02.520 --> 00:47:04.480
and this is a horrible situation,

774
00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:12.680
but I started out the entire challenge with a scenario

775
00:47:12.680 --> 00:47:14.800
with all of you.

776
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.200
You may recall where I explained to you

777
00:47:17.200 --> 00:47:22.840
that somebody spent $90,000 for a software application.

778
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:24.600
And then the corporation ended up

779
00:47:24.600 --> 00:47:28.360
taking that, the software company that actually created

780
00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:31.480
the app for, I think it was $80,000 or $90,000,

781
00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:33.280
they end up just modifying it a little bit

782
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:36.880
and selling it to a competitor.

783
00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:40.360
I mean, you think, well, what's going on here?

784
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:41.880
I spent $80,000, $90,000.

785
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:44.760
No, you spent $80,000, $90,000 for the finalized software

786
00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:45.480
program.

787
00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:49.200
You don't own the copyright to the code.

788
00:47:49.200 --> 00:47:51.280
So this is why whenever you're working

789
00:47:51.280 --> 00:47:55.400
with somebody on software, on digital works, on books,

790
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:59.320
on copy, you better make sure that there's

791
00:47:59.320 --> 00:48:02.120
an assignment of all right title and interest.

792
00:48:02.120 --> 00:48:05.640
Like even the agency that I hired

793
00:48:05.640 --> 00:48:09.920
to work with me with regard to either copy or funnels

794
00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:13.680
or anything like that, as I get busier and busier,

795
00:48:13.680 --> 00:48:16.320
I have in the legal agreements, they hereby

796
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:17.800
assign all right title and interest

797
00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:19.600
to every single aspect.

798
00:48:19.600 --> 00:48:23.920
Every single creative work is mine.

799
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:24.720
Why?

800
00:48:24.720 --> 00:48:26.560
Because at the end of the day, I don't

801
00:48:26.560 --> 00:48:32.000
want to see my work showing up in somebody else's project.

802
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.160
And I'm paying for that.

803
00:48:35.160 --> 00:48:36.960
So it's something for you to keep in mind.

804
00:48:36.960 --> 00:48:38.920
So the right to reproduce the work,

805
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:41.520
that's a right that comes with the copyright.

806
00:48:41.520 --> 00:48:43.400
Unless you license that to somebody else,

807
00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:44.840
they can't do it.

808
00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:46.720
A preparation of derivative works.

809
00:48:46.720 --> 00:48:49.080
A derivative work is like a modification,

810
00:48:49.080 --> 00:48:51.840
a slight modification.

811
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:55.840
So you've got like Excel, Microsoft Excel.

812
00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:58.720
Everybody knows what Microsoft Excel is, I'm sure.

813
00:48:58.720 --> 00:49:00.760
Imagine all of a sudden you had the ability

814
00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:06.640
to put in an audio recording within a cell of the Excel

815
00:49:06.640 --> 00:49:07.800
sheet.

816
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:09.040
Maybe you can do that already.

817
00:49:09.040 --> 00:49:10.120
I don't know that you can.

818
00:49:10.120 --> 00:49:11.400
I don't think you can.

819
00:49:11.400 --> 00:49:13.000
Well, that would be a derivative work

820
00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:14.880
because it's still the same Excel program.

821
00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:18.320
There's just a new feature that was added to the Excel program.

822
00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:19.440
That's a derivative work.

823
00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:23.280
That's a modification to the work that's already there.

824
00:49:23.280 --> 00:49:25.680
So arguably, that right should fall

825
00:49:25.680 --> 00:49:27.840
on the right of Microsoft, not me

826
00:49:27.840 --> 00:49:29.920
who decided to create this new functionality

827
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:35.160
to allow you to add this feature into an Excel sheet.

828
00:49:35.160 --> 00:49:38.920
The right to distribute copies.

829
00:49:38.920 --> 00:49:40.960
And I don't just mean paper copies.

830
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:42.320
I mean software copies.

831
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:44.120
I mean downloads.

832
00:49:44.120 --> 00:49:48.200
All of you that are putting things up on your Google Drives,

833
00:49:48.200 --> 00:49:51.080
your copyrightable works on Google Drive,

834
00:49:51.080 --> 00:49:55.400
I will make it clear that if you download this sheet

835
00:49:55.400 --> 00:49:59.000
or you download this work, that's my copyrightable work.

836
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.080
You can only download.

837
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:02.280
if I give you permission to do so.

838
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:07.560
Every single person here who has a copy of my security sheet,

839
00:50:07.560 --> 00:50:10.160
that's my copyrightable work.

840
00:50:10.160 --> 00:50:12.760
Nobody here has the right to make a copy of that

841
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:15.520
and distribute it to the rest of 100x,

842
00:50:15.520 --> 00:50:18.600
regardless of the intention.

843
00:50:18.600 --> 00:50:20.080
And why is that important to me?

844
00:50:20.080 --> 00:50:22.040
Because I have to make sure not only do people

845
00:50:22.040 --> 00:50:26.280
know how to use that, but they don't manipulate the data.

846
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:28.160
They don't describe it improperly.

847
00:50:28.160 --> 00:50:30.040
It's not utilized the wrong way so people

848
00:50:30.040 --> 00:50:31.920
get into legal trouble.

849
00:50:31.920 --> 00:50:34.720
I have to make sure people know what they're doing.

850
00:50:34.720 --> 00:50:39.520
So I control that aspect of the intellectual property.

851
00:50:39.520 --> 00:50:42.160
Publicly performing the works, if you actually

852
00:50:42.160 --> 00:50:45.680
have something that is a public performance,

853
00:50:45.680 --> 00:50:47.920
architectural works fall into that category,

854
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:50.840
sound recordings, publicly displaying.

855
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:53.400
So if you actually create a sculpture

856
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:54.840
and you have the copyright to that,

857
00:50:54.840 --> 00:50:57.960
nobody can display that sculpture.

858
00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:01.280
Only you can, OK?

859
00:51:01.280 --> 00:51:04.720
You have to give them the right to display that work.

860
00:51:04.720 --> 00:51:07.320
So if you're working for a museum,

861
00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.280
or if your work is being displayed at a museum

862
00:51:10.280 --> 00:51:15.240
or at an art exhibit, any of those kind of situations,

863
00:51:15.240 --> 00:51:18.400
whoever is displaying needs to actually have

864
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:22.360
an agreement with you so you can display your work there.

865
00:51:22.360 --> 00:51:26.240
Otherwise, they're in violation of your copyrights.

866
00:51:26.240 --> 00:51:29.880
So I do a painting.

867
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:33.520
And there's some kind of forum that actually

868
00:51:33.520 --> 00:51:35.480
wants to show my painting.

869
00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:37.240
They can't do that unless I give them

870
00:51:37.240 --> 00:51:38.720
the right to show my painting.

871
00:51:38.720 --> 00:51:40.720
They can't even take pictures of my painting

872
00:51:40.720 --> 00:51:42.440
and show it on their website.

873
00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:46.400
Now we're getting to the power of a true copyright.

874
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:47.840
You create a painting and somebody

875
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:50.280
decides to take pictures of it and put it on websites,

876
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:53.800
that's a violation of your copyright.

877
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:56.480
And let me do the last one, and then I'll go to you, Larissa.

878
00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:59.160
In the case of sound recordings, perform the copyrighted work

879
00:51:59.160 --> 00:52:00.000
publicly.

880
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:02.960
What does that mean?

881
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:06.800
If I create some kind of song and you say,

882
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:10.360
hey, I've got a nightclub, I want

883
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:13.000
to go and play that song that Peter came up with.

884
00:52:13.000 --> 00:52:15.680
So I just start playing your music.

885
00:52:15.680 --> 00:52:17.320
You're going to run into BGI.

886
00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:19.760
You're going to run into different other corporations

887
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.080
that are going to knock on your door

888
00:52:22.080 --> 00:52:24.360
and say, you do not have a license

889
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:27.040
to play that copyrighted work.

890
00:52:27.040 --> 00:52:27.960
You're in violation.

891
00:52:27.960 --> 00:52:31.360
You have to pay this much money now.

892
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:32.520
And they don't back off.

893
00:52:32.520 --> 00:52:33.480
They're vicious.

894
00:52:33.480 --> 00:52:37.280
I know because I used to represent them.

895
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:39.640
They are vicious.

896
00:52:39.640 --> 00:52:42.680
So these are powers that come with a copyright.

897
00:52:42.680 --> 00:52:43.600
Yes, Larissa, go ahead.

898
00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:50.040
While you were right there on images and storefronts,

899
00:52:50.040 --> 00:52:54.960
I assume you had a question that says,

900
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:57.600
what about copyright for original images that

901
00:52:57.600 --> 00:53:00.520
are uploaded onto a personal website,

902
00:53:00.520 --> 00:53:03.480
as well as maybe at storefronts online

903
00:53:03.480 --> 00:53:05.520
that sell for multiple artists?

904
00:53:05.520 --> 00:53:08.880
Is that similar to the compilation of a sketchbook?

905
00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:10.880
Yeah, it's not a compilation.

906
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:13.760
But it falls into the category of what I just described.

907
00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:16.800
So if you have a painting and somebody says,

908
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:18.440
I want to take a picture of that and I'm

909
00:53:18.440 --> 00:53:20.000
going to show it on this website,

910
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:21.680
that's a violation of your copyright

911
00:53:21.680 --> 00:53:24.240
unless you give them permission to do that.

912
00:53:24.240 --> 00:53:26.040
So what needs to happen, you'll see

913
00:53:26.040 --> 00:53:29.880
there's a lot of websites like pictorial websites

914
00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:31.560
where you can take your paintings

915
00:53:31.560 --> 00:53:34.680
and you can actually take pictures of them yourself

916
00:53:34.680 --> 00:53:36.920
and put it on the website to sell.

917
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:38.320
That's different because you're not

918
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:40.320
violating your own copyright.

919
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:43.520
And if you actually look in the small print for those websites,

920
00:53:43.520 --> 00:53:45.840
there's a legal agreement that nobody

921
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:50.040
reads when you actually become a member of these websites.

922
00:53:50.040 --> 00:53:52.040
And it's essentially breaking down

923
00:53:52.040 --> 00:53:54.360
saying that you give them the right

924
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:57.760
to display your copyright protectable work

925
00:53:57.760 --> 00:54:01.360
and you will not sue them for displaying that.

926
00:54:01.360 --> 00:54:07.520
Otherwise, you're essentially using them for a service

927
00:54:07.520 --> 00:54:09.160
that you're then going to sue them for,

928
00:54:09.160 --> 00:54:11.400
which doesn't make sense.

929
00:54:11.400 --> 00:54:14.360
It's like, I'm going to put my copyrightable protectable work

930
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:14.960
on your site.

931
00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:17.840
Hey, you have my copyrightable work on your site.

932
00:54:17.840 --> 00:54:19.800
I'm going to sue you for copyright infringement.

933
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:21.160
It's like, yeah, you uploaded it.

934
00:54:21.160 --> 00:54:23.520
How can you sue me for what you did?

935
00:54:23.520 --> 00:54:28.960
So that's why they have a legal agreement in place beforehand.

936
00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:30.960
All right, I'm going to show you one more thing

937
00:54:30.960 --> 00:54:33.040
and then we're going to close.

938
00:54:33.040 --> 00:54:38.080
I told you it would be a little bit easier to understand this.

939
00:54:38.080 --> 00:54:42.720
Let me show you the copyright notice itself

940
00:54:42.720 --> 00:54:45.320
because I've seen a lot of people get it wrong.

941
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:49.080
I've seen so many forms of a copyrightable notice.

942
00:54:49.080 --> 00:54:52.520
It's kind of funny.

943
00:54:52.520 --> 00:54:57.160
So this is how a copyright notice is supposed to look.

944
00:54:57.160 --> 00:54:59.640
Copyright, the Circle C.

945
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.600
Or you can instead, instead of using the Circle C, you can just write copyright.

946
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:09.680
You don't have to put the Circle C. You don't have to put the Circle C and then write copyright.

947
00:55:09.680 --> 00:55:15.600
That's actually redundant. You can do it, you know, only the attorneys are going to make fun of it.

948
00:55:16.480 --> 00:55:21.440
I mean, everybody else, nobody's going to know, nobody's going to care. But the Circle C, the date,

949
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:27.920
and then who owns it. Now, to me, the most important part of this is this part, who owns it.

950
00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:35.360
If the copyright is owned by the corporation, the corporation's name should be there, not the artist.

951
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:42.560
You have to figure out who is the true owner. Why is this important? What if that copyrightable work

952
00:55:42.560 --> 00:55:48.160
infringes somebody else's copyrightable work? Then when they look up that thing and they see

953
00:55:48.160 --> 00:55:53.280
a person's name, they're going to sue that person, as opposed to the corporation. The reason why

954
00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:58.800
you're forming these LLCs and all these other entities is to protect you, your assets, your family.

955
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:06.640
So if you're assigning all right title and interest of your paintings to a corporation,

956
00:56:07.680 --> 00:56:11.440
don't feel like, yeah, it's assigned to the corporation, but I want my name on it because

957
00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:15.680
I like to see my name. It's like, no, put the corporation's name there because that's the entity

958
00:56:15.680 --> 00:56:23.280
that owns it. Don't worry about that ego part. The notice is there to protect you.

959
00:56:24.160 --> 00:56:29.360
Don't worry about being, let your work speak for itself. And you can talk about in a separate

960
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:34.400
forum how you created the work, but don't mess with the copyright notice. Now, you don't need

961
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:40.080
to have a copyright notice. Just to be clear, again, the reason why you have a copyright notice

962
00:56:40.080 --> 00:56:45.520
is because you want to, A, put people on notice. That is a protective work. And B,

963
00:56:47.200 --> 00:56:53.520
you want to be able to, well, really number one is the big one. But B is if you have the

964
00:56:53.520 --> 00:57:00.640
federal registration, then what you can do is you can say, hey, look, I get stat story damages and

965
00:57:00.640 --> 00:57:06.480
I placed you on notice. So you have zero excuse. Like you saw my copyright notice. I have a federal

966
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:13.280
registration. There's no way out. I win. Period. Game over. If you didn't have the notice there,

967
00:57:13.280 --> 00:57:19.760
they may not even know, even though technically people should know. Now, if you haven't published

968
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:25.680
the work yet, if it's an internal document, you could type in unpublished work, then the C,

969
00:57:25.680 --> 00:57:31.680
then the date and the name. Most people don't do this because if it's not published yet,

970
00:57:32.560 --> 00:57:38.800
you know, they're just they don't care so much about the copyright. But that is something that

971
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:46.000
you can do as well. All right. Let me stop there. I'm going to take one question. Just see, Larissa,

972
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:49.760
were there any other questions that jumped out? And then we're going to we're going to jump into

973
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:56.640
VIP because we start there in like eight minutes. So this wasn't that complex, right? Copyright

974
00:57:57.600 --> 00:58:04.000
world. It's it's it's a lot more logical. It makes a lot more sense. It's a more it's it's it's

975
00:58:04.000 --> 00:58:10.400
cheap. It's a lot of strength, a lot of protection that can come with it. The copyright office's

976
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:18.880
website is very easy to use. So, Larissa, did anything jump out? There's a lot of questions,

977
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:25.360
a lot of them specific. I think an easy one is when someone's on your podcast,

978
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:32.080
you and I have discussed this one, like you own the rights to it. The specific question was

979
00:58:32.080 --> 00:58:38.160
if whoever's doing the recording actually owns the podcast, it comes down to a recorded work.

980
00:58:38.160 --> 00:58:45.280
This is why if you are going I'll give all of you an example. I've been I've been very blessed,

981
00:58:45.280 --> 00:58:50.800
very, very blessed to know people that are running powerful challenges and they've asked me to be a

982
00:58:50.800 --> 00:58:56.800
guest. And they say, look, I've got my group of people here. You know, I've got 50, 100,

983
00:58:56.800 --> 00:59:00.800
a thousand, whoever they are. Would you please be a guest and talk to them about

984
00:59:00.800 --> 00:59:06.640
intellectual property issues that pertain to them particularly? And I'm I'm here to try to help. Like

985
00:59:06.640 --> 00:59:09.520
I want to help people out. So I'll say, yeah, sure. And they say, well, what do you want?

986
00:59:09.520 --> 00:59:15.520
I was like, I don't care. You know, don't don't worry about that. So I come in and I I'm a guest,

987
00:59:15.520 --> 00:59:22.080
right? That's what I've been doing lately. And so what happens is they then reach out to me and

988
00:59:22.080 --> 00:59:29.440
they say, hey, this happened very recently. Somebody that most of us know who has a very

989
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:34.800
large group of individuals reached out to me and he said that was amazing. He's like the people

990
00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:40.800
love the material. It's helping them out. I want to turn it into a bonus. Can I do that?

991
00:59:41.680 --> 00:59:48.800
He asked my permission to turn it into a bonus. Now, legally, he didn't have to ask

992
00:59:50.080 --> 00:59:57.280
because I was on his show. It was his recording. It's not it's his recording. Therefore,

993
00:59:57.280 --> 00:59:59.840
it's his recorded work. If I was.

994
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:02.240
So if I was so upset about the whole thing,

995
01:00:02.240 --> 01:00:04.080
I should have entered into an agreement with him

996
01:00:04.080 --> 01:00:05.320
before I showed up that said,

997
01:00:05.320 --> 01:00:08.560
hey, look, the section in which I'm speaking,

998
01:00:08.560 --> 01:00:11.280
I have rights to that, you don't.

999
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:12.120
I didn't do that,

1000
01:00:12.120 --> 01:00:13.440
because I was just trying to help him out.

1001
01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:15.700
So a half hour of being together,

1002
01:00:15.700 --> 01:00:17.960
his people just kept asking questions and questions.

1003
01:00:17.960 --> 01:00:20.080
It was like an hour and a half.

1004
01:00:20.080 --> 01:00:23.400
Like, and he continued to ask me, are you okay with this?

1005
01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:24.960
I was like, yeah, yeah, don't worry about it.

1006
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:27.480
But he turned it into a bonus.

1007
01:00:27.480 --> 01:00:30.680
And so now it's an OTO on his challenge.

1008
01:00:30.680 --> 01:00:34.000
So now he's making like tons of money on that.

1009
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.120
And, you know, so this is some,

1010
01:00:36.120 --> 01:00:37.840
going to that question of copyright,

1011
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:41.360
this is the copyright, he actually owns it.

1012
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:45.200
I should have negotiated upfront to say, you know,

1013
01:00:45.200 --> 01:00:46.040
I have certain rights,

1014
01:00:46.040 --> 01:00:48.000
but I knew that already as an IP attorney,

1015
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:48.940
I just didn't care.

1016
01:00:50.200 --> 01:00:51.720
But when it comes to the podcast,

1017
01:00:51.720 --> 01:00:53.200
the one who's recording is the one.

1018
01:00:53.200 --> 01:00:54.440
Sumay, I'm going to take your question,

1019
01:00:54.440 --> 01:00:56.560
and then we got to jump off.

1020
01:00:56.600 --> 01:00:57.840
How are you, my friend?

1021
01:01:00.200 --> 01:01:01.040
Can't hear you.

1022
01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:04.760
Nope.

1023
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:10.280
Can you hear me now?

1024
01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:11.480
Can you hear me now?

1025
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:12.320
Okay.

1026
01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:13.160
Sorry.

1027
01:01:13.160 --> 01:01:13.980
Thank you.

1028
01:01:13.980 --> 01:01:14.820
Just reminded me of that commercial.

1029
01:01:14.820 --> 01:01:17.240
Remember back in the day, the guy.

1030
01:01:17.240 --> 01:01:18.280
Can you hear me now?

1031
01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:20.880
Yeah, can you hear me now?

1032
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:22.040
Just reminded me of that.

1033
01:01:22.040 --> 01:01:23.080
That's so long ago.

1034
01:01:24.080 --> 01:01:25.360
What can I do for you?

1035
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:26.360
Thank you.

1036
01:01:27.200 --> 01:01:28.640
Yeah, so I was just really quickly,

1037
01:01:28.640 --> 01:01:30.480
I'm sorry if this was already answered,

1038
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.680
but I know you went over like the copywriting

1039
01:01:33.680 --> 01:01:36.980
of original artwork, but like if you're,

1040
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:40.200
so if you have original artwork

1041
01:01:40.200 --> 01:01:42.680
and each individual one you're selling,

1042
01:01:42.680 --> 01:01:44.520
it's not a sketchbook, you know,

1043
01:01:44.520 --> 01:01:46.400
a compilation in a sketchbook.

1044
01:01:46.400 --> 01:01:48.640
I understand the part about, you know,

1045
01:01:48.640 --> 01:01:51.320
the websites that you use as a second party

1046
01:01:51.320 --> 01:01:52.280
to sell your items.

1047
01:01:52.280 --> 01:01:54.760
There's a separate, you know, legal probably thing

1048
01:01:55.720 --> 01:01:57.080
that they write there, as you mentioned,

1049
01:01:57.080 --> 01:01:58.920
but on a personal website.

1050
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:02.120
So just to protect, like my daughter is, you know,

1051
01:02:02.120 --> 01:02:05.480
going to be selling her prints.

1052
01:02:05.480 --> 01:02:08.200
Do we go and copyright every single one?

1053
01:02:08.200 --> 01:02:10.280
I would, I would.

1054
01:02:10.280 --> 01:02:12.140
What is she making per print?

1055
01:02:13.480 --> 01:02:14.300
What do you mean?

1056
01:02:14.300 --> 01:02:15.140
Like-

1057
01:02:15.140 --> 01:02:17.280
Dollar, like what kind of dollars are we talking about?

1058
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:18.480
We haven't even started

1059
01:02:18.480 --> 01:02:20.520
because I wanted to make sure to protect her work

1060
01:02:20.520 --> 01:02:22.040
before we even put it out there,

1061
01:02:22.040 --> 01:02:22.860
because, you know-

1062
01:02:22.860 --> 01:02:23.960
Yeah, so if you're thinking

1063
01:02:23.960 --> 01:02:25.560
you're going to be making a substantial,

1064
01:02:25.560 --> 01:02:27.600
well, it depends, right?

1065
01:02:27.600 --> 01:02:29.360
You have some artists who are so critical

1066
01:02:29.360 --> 01:02:31.560
to make sure nobody ever copies anything that they do

1067
01:02:31.560 --> 01:02:33.960
that they'll spend a $65 for every single work.

1068
01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:36.680
Because they're just saying, don't touch my stuff.

1069
01:02:36.680 --> 01:02:38.740
Like, do not, this is mine.

1070
01:02:38.740 --> 01:02:40.560
I don't want anybody grabbing this.

1071
01:02:40.560 --> 01:02:43.680
But I see, I see that head nodding up and down.

1072
01:02:43.680 --> 01:02:45.440
That's right, stay away from my painting.

1073
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:46.280
That's right.

1074
01:02:46.280 --> 01:02:47.400
I got the baseball bat.

1075
01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:48.520
Yeah, I'm sure you do.

1076
01:02:48.520 --> 01:02:52.120
So that's something that's very important to realize

1077
01:02:52.120 --> 01:02:55.400
is that artists, like, that's their baby.

1078
01:02:55.400 --> 01:02:58.760
Like, you know, they got blood, sweat, and tears

1079
01:02:58.760 --> 01:03:00.120
in creating these works.

1080
01:03:00.120 --> 01:03:03.400
And so 65 bucks to them is nothing.

1081
01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:06.040
Because to them, it's not just about

1082
01:03:06.040 --> 01:03:07.480
how much am I going to make on this painting?

1083
01:03:07.480 --> 01:03:09.280
It's about, I don't want to see somebody else

1084
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:12.560
with that same painting all of a sudden pop up.

1085
01:03:12.560 --> 01:03:15.400
And then all of a sudden they get into this magazine

1086
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.360
and all of a sudden they're at this location.

1087
01:03:17.360 --> 01:03:19.640
You're like, that was my work.

1088
01:03:19.640 --> 01:03:21.240
Like, that was my original work.

1089
01:03:21.240 --> 01:03:22.320
How did that happen?

1090
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:23.640
So that's what you need to determine.

1091
01:03:23.640 --> 01:03:27.200
Now, realistically, can somebody, you know,

1092
01:03:27.200 --> 01:03:28.680
file for 100 different ones?

1093
01:03:28.680 --> 01:03:29.520
That's up to you.

1094
01:03:29.520 --> 01:03:32.080
Do you want to spend $6,500 or do you not?

1095
01:03:32.080 --> 01:03:33.120
You may decide, you know,

1096
01:03:33.120 --> 01:03:35.160
these 10 works are the most important.

1097
01:03:35.160 --> 01:03:37.040
I'm going to file for a federal registration for those.

1098
01:03:37.040 --> 01:03:38.840
I'm not going to file for the other ones.

1099
01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:41.800
But if somebody infringes it, then I'm going to file.

1100
01:03:41.800 --> 01:03:44.200
And afterwards, I'm going to call them up and say,

1101
01:03:44.200 --> 01:03:46.000
I have a federal registration on that.

1102
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:47.720
My work predates yours.

1103
01:03:47.720 --> 01:03:49.840
And the problem in that situation

1104
01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:51.560
is you can't really get attorney's fees

1105
01:03:51.560 --> 01:03:54.760
because you didn't have the federal registration beforehand.

1106
01:03:54.760 --> 01:03:56.560
You can't sue somebody

1107
01:03:56.560 --> 01:03:58.960
until you actually get the registration.

1108
01:03:58.960 --> 01:04:03.320
So it really depends upon your specific scenario

1109
01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:05.360
as to what's the most important work.

1110
01:04:05.360 --> 01:04:07.000
I would take just the most important works

1111
01:04:07.000 --> 01:04:08.920
and I would file just for those.

1112
01:04:08.920 --> 01:04:10.520
I wouldn't file for a hundred different works.

1113
01:04:10.520 --> 01:04:13.400
I mean, it, you know, it depends on your, you know,

1114
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:14.240
your wallet.

1115
01:04:14.240 --> 01:04:17.920
And, but practically speaking, you know,

1116
01:04:17.920 --> 01:04:20.840
especially if it's your wallet as the mom, you know,

1117
01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:23.280
it just, it may be a little different from,

1118
01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:25.840
the artist might go, protect them all.

1119
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:30.080
And the mom is like, yeah, all is three, pick your three.

1120
01:04:30.080 --> 01:04:32.440
So, you know, that's the real world, right?

1121
01:04:32.440 --> 01:04:33.520
There's a legal world.

1122
01:04:33.520 --> 01:04:35.160
And then there's reality,

1123
01:04:35.160 --> 01:04:38.480
which is you're learning tools to be able to,

1124
01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:41.560
to function well in businesses, to excel,

1125
01:04:41.560 --> 01:04:45.160
to be on stable ground, to do incredibly well.

1126
01:04:45.240 --> 01:04:48.040
The question is, do you want to invest in this?

1127
01:04:48.040 --> 01:04:49.960
Or do you have to invest in this?

1128
01:04:49.960 --> 01:04:51.840
You may not even have to.

1129
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:55.280
Hey, God may download an idea to you just for the fact

1130
01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:56.760
that you understand what it is.

1131
01:04:56.760 --> 01:04:58.240
Now you can sell it.

1132
01:04:58.240 --> 01:05:00.240
It may not be your job to distribute it.

1133
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:04.400
It may not be your job to manufacture it. That's your job to sit down with the Lord and say,

1134
01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:08.960
Lord, thank you for this idea. What am I going to do with it? What do you want me to do with it?

1135
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:12.720
Yeah. You know, it's not always the case that we're supposed to build a company.

1136
01:05:12.720 --> 01:05:16.000
I've got to jump off. Thank you so much, Peter.

1137
01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:20.560
Oh, it's my true honor. I got to jump off because I want to honor the people in VIP. Obviously,

1138
01:05:20.560 --> 01:05:27.120
in VIP, we do what I just did with Sumay nonstop. That's what VIP is. We do nonstop. So

1139
01:05:27.680 --> 01:05:33.920
all right, my friends, bless you all. Hopefully, you had a good time with all this. I'm going to

1140
01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:37.200
jump off, Larissa, and jump into the other room. If you want to kind of do any other

1141
01:05:37.200 --> 01:05:41.440
administrator stuff that you want with the chat or whatever, just feel free to do that, OK?

1142
01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:43.680
All right. Do you want to start recording?

1143
01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:48.800
Uh, yeah.
