00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.320
Hey guys, how's everybody doing?

2
00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.360
We're just doing a little challenge 411.

3
00:00:12.360 --> 00:00:13.360
Nice.

4
00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:14.360
Nice.

5
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:15.800
Oh, we got a loaded house.

6
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:16.800
Come on.

7
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:17.800
That's so good.

8
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:18.800
We got some alumni.

9
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:19.800
Oh my gosh.

10
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.800
I love these people.

11
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:24.800
You guys are amazing.

12
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:26.960
Yeah, I love the alums.

13
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.560
They're so good at what they do too.

14
00:00:29.560 --> 00:00:33.440
Let me take like, actually, let me take a second, take one or two shares.

15
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:38.560
Hey, alums, can you just kind of share maybe how you're implementing what you're doing,

16
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.240
what you've learned in the challenge, like into your real life, like maybe into your

17
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.280
coaching or into your company?

18
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.040
Like Crystal, would you mind sharing?

19
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:49.800
Because you're like ridiculously brilliant in IP.

20
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:52.800
Like I see your questions and you're really good.

21
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:57.000
So could you take like a moment and just kind of share with how you're implementing this

22
00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.080
stuff actually in your own business?

23
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:00.600
Absolutely.

24
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:01.600
Thanks.

25
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.800
You know, guys, I have to tell you, Peter's information has transformed even the way I

26
00:01:06.800 --> 00:01:12.800
coach and all the people that I'm working with for clients, especially in the tech industry,

27
00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:17.080
creative industry, helping them understand technology itself and how to launch that on

28
00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.520
their business.

29
00:01:18.520 --> 00:01:24.080
Most of them have no idea about how to protect anything that they're bringing to the table

30
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:27.280
and they're out there sharing all their ideas.

31
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.480
And we all think that's great, but it's not.

32
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.760
And so even my own kiddo has an idea and I've had to stop her from talking about it to other

33
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.520
people because we want that to get protected.

34
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:43.040
So I mean, there are things that you just don't even realize that you're just chatting

35
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:48.560
with people about and all those ideas that you create on a napkin, you know, over dinner,

36
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.720
they need to get protected pretty quickly to make sure that they're safe.

37
00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:58.400
And, you know, I just especially this one client comes to mind and she already had a

38
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:06.680
patent and she ended up selling and in the opportunity of how she sold and as she shared

39
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.840
some information with me, you know, some things became very questionable.

40
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:13.200
And I directed her back to Peter in this challenge.

41
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:18.000
I said, you really need to go sit through that because I think something went awry.

42
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.000
And so just to have this much knowledge that Peter shared with us, because I am nowhere

43
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.280
close to where Peter is.

44
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:29.440
Holy moly, I can't even imagine the wisdom that he brings to the table as you guys just

45
00:02:29.440 --> 00:02:32.480
interact with him and the VIP and ongoing.

46
00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:35.280
It's well worth your time and energy, guys.

47
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.360
But just that little knowledge really shed light to what she had signed and then made

48
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.480
her question a lot of things.

49
00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:50.000
And so if we can just bring one nugget of truth to our clients, to our own business,

50
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:53.800
man, it's going to be radically different as we move forward and it's going to be well

51
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:54.920
protected in the future.

52
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:56.680
Wow, that's so good.

53
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.320
Yeah. And Crystal doesn't give herself enough credit because Crystal thinks of like

54
00:03:01.320 --> 00:03:03.840
scenarios. She sees how they break down.

55
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.480
So she sees the parties that are being interacted with, the different entities of of IP,

56
00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:12.600
like how copyright and trademark are intermingling.

57
00:03:12.600 --> 00:03:15.200
And it's it's actually pretty amazing, Crystal.

58
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:16.880
So, yeah, I'm just applaud you.

59
00:03:16.880 --> 00:03:18.640
You you've impressed me.

60
00:03:18.640 --> 00:03:20.320
I've seen your posts in the group.

61
00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:21.320
They're impressive.

62
00:03:21.320 --> 00:03:23.360
So that's really good.

63
00:03:23.880 --> 00:03:28.440
Maybe I'll take, hey, Helene, can you kind of share a little bit about like what you've

64
00:03:28.440 --> 00:03:33.040
learned and how you've applied it in your own in your own life, maybe just for like one

65
00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:38.000
minute? Well, the first thing I did was put TMS on all my designs.

66
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:44.240
I already had copyrights on things, but I didn't put TMS.

67
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.640
See on the background there, there's a little TM on there someplace.

68
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.800
Come on. That's awesome.

69
00:03:50.440 --> 00:03:51.440
That is awesome.

70
00:03:51.440 --> 00:03:54.800
Zoom in on the background, but I don't think I can do that.

71
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.480
Oh, that's great. And you're very active in the NFT field as well.

72
00:03:59.480 --> 00:04:01.200
I've seen you doing a lot with Eric.

73
00:04:01.600 --> 00:04:06.160
And so, you know, and I imagine the stuff because today we're going to go through

74
00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:09.600
copyright. So I'd imagine a number of the things that we're going to be talking about

75
00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:15.160
today for anybody here is dealing with NFTs like Helene is dealing with NFTs.

76
00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:16.959
Today's a really important day.

77
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.120
And so thank you for sharing, Helene.

78
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.840
So I think I'm going to jump into copyright, but I want to kind of set the

79
00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:27.640
context for a moment.

80
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.440
Copyright is not remarkably difficult, but.

81
00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:39.240
It applies in a lot of different areas, like areas that you never even thought of.

82
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:46.400
And so it's really important to understand what exactly could copyright pertain

83
00:04:46.400 --> 00:04:51.640
to. OK, so just let me touch base just kind of at a top level of what a copyright

84
00:04:51.640 --> 00:04:56.280
is, and then we'll talk about what's potentially protectable by copyright.

85
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.040
And as I do that, Jimmy, I have you particularly in mind.

86
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.760
because I know you have a book coming out.

87
00:05:02.260 --> 00:05:05.180
And so there's actually copyright issues and trademark issues.

88
00:05:05.180 --> 00:05:09.520
So what you're going to find today is that while I'm talking about copyright,

89
00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:12.620
I'm going to draw in some trademark stuff too.

90
00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:19.180
So I'm going to show you how in IP, it's not always just one area of IP

91
00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:21.020
that pertains to your scenario.

92
00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:25.580
There may be two or three different areas that pertain to your one scenario.

93
00:05:25.860 --> 00:05:27.940
And so you're going to see a lot of proof of that today.

94
00:05:28.440 --> 00:05:30.260
Okay. Are you guys ready to go?

95
00:05:30.260 --> 00:05:31.920
All right, let's do that.

96
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:32.240
All right.

97
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:39.060
So just one second before we do that deep dive, I have to kind

98
00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:44.280
of mention the Facebook activity that we did together, how we described that guy

99
00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:49.140
who just looked way too happy, if such a thing exists.

100
00:05:50.420 --> 00:05:57.340
So I read through all of the different responses, and I picked a winner.

101
00:05:57.340 --> 00:05:59.100
It doesn't mean it's better than others.

102
00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:01.480
It just made me laugh.

103
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:08.740
And it actually showed that the person understood certain principles that we talked about.

104
00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:15.060
And so the winner for the, if we had a drum roll, we'd do that.

105
00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:17.940
But the winner is Jessica Madden.

106
00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:24.740
And the reason why is because her response says, he just got served a cease and desist.

107
00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:31.120
But he's smiling because under common law, he's good to keep running his business

108
00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:32.580
in the city he loves.

109
00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:36.860
I thought that was brilliant, like absolutely brilliant.

110
00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:41.540
It applies like multiple different principles, you know, the common law issue,

111
00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:44.340
the infringement issue, the trademark issue.

112
00:06:44.340 --> 00:06:47.220
I just thought, wow, that's good.

113
00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:49.140
So congratulations, Jess.

114
00:06:49.140 --> 00:06:53.040
You won the first $50 Amazon gift card.

115
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:53.840
Give it up.

116
00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:55.400
Way to go, Jess.

117
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:56.680
Way to go.

118
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:57.840
It's so good.

119
00:06:57.840 --> 00:06:58.800
I'm so proud of you.

120
00:06:58.800 --> 00:06:59.640
You're awesome.

121
00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:07.600
And then today, about halfway in, I'm going to raffle off, not like, Ray, are you ready

122
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.720
with the wheel thing?

123
00:07:08.760 --> 00:07:09.360
All right, awesome.

124
00:07:09.640 --> 00:07:15.920
So about halfway through, I'm going to raffle off what's called an electronic business card.

125
00:07:16.760 --> 00:07:17.280
Okay.

126
00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:22.840
Now, the electronic business card, the way it's a metallic card, the one that I'm raffling

127
00:07:22.840 --> 00:07:27.400
off is actually one that's made out of refurbished wood or bamboo.

128
00:07:27.880 --> 00:07:32.000
And all you do is you put it over somebody's cell phone and all of your information just

129
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.160
pops up on their cell phone.

130
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:34.520
It's automated.

131
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:35.560
Yeah, there you go.

132
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.440
John's got one.

133
00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:37.560
Come on, John.

134
00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:38.280
That's awesome.

135
00:07:38.320 --> 00:07:39.000
Yeah, there it is.

136
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.560
So all you do is you put it over their phone and it just shows up.

137
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:43.760
They don't even have to scan it.

138
00:07:44.200 --> 00:07:46.120
And so it's really an awesome thing.

139
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.720
We're going to give one of those away today about halfway through.

140
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:49.040
All right.

141
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.920
So with that, even though we're all anticipating that, let's jump into copyrights a little

142
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.120
bit. Copyrights are not remarkably difficult.

143
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:03.080
And in my opinion, they're way underused, like way underused.

144
00:08:03.400 --> 00:08:07.840
You actually have certain rights under copyright law that you don't even know you have.

145
00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:14.200
Like even right now, like if you're publishing certain works, you have rights under

146
00:08:14.200 --> 00:08:16.120
copyright law without even knowing it.

147
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:21.080
And so people need to understand what exactly are the rights that I have.

148
00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:23.240
So let's talk about what a copyright is first.

149
00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:28.800
OK, so a copyright gives you some kind of right to some original work of authorship

150
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:30.920
that's fixed in some kind of tangible medium.

151
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.360
Now, some people might go, what in the world does that mean?

152
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:41.919
That's like legal garbage, like tangible medium, like fixed, like authorship, like

153
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:43.640
what in the world does that mean?

154
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:44.800
So we're going to break it down.

155
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:51.560
OK, I'm going to start out by giving you examples of things that are protectable.

156
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.960
Under copyright law, there's just going to list them out like one by one by one by

157
00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:58.400
one so you can see them all.

158
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.480
And you know what I'll do?

159
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.440
I'm actually going to share my screen because if I can share my screen, I can just

160
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.440
show it to you or just make your lives a lot easier.

161
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.600
So we're just going to pop that up right there.

162
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.240
Can everybody see these categories of protectable works?

163
00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:14.320
Awesome. OK.

164
00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:19.280
So you know what I'm going to do for you is I'm going to actually put this what I

165
00:09:19.280 --> 00:09:23.520
try to do for you as you're here is to make it so that you can interact, you can

166
00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:27.840
enjoy yourself and you don't have to write four million notes, you know, because

167
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.920
some of us are good note takers, but sometimes it's hard to keep up with the

168
00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:32.960
hearing and the writing.

169
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.720
So I'm going to take this and I'm going to put it in the Facebook group for you.

170
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:40.240
OK. And if you don't have access to Facebook, don't worry.

171
00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:46.960
Just DM me or email support at elite-challenges.com and we'll take this and we'll

172
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.880
send the file to you directly so you don't have to worry about if you don't have

173
00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:55.640
access to Facebook or if you, you know, you you actually have come to the reality

174
00:09:55.640 --> 00:09:59.040
that it's run by an alien nation trying to take over the world.

175
00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:00.000
If you come to.

176
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.440
reality and you don't use it, that's okay, we can email it to

177
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.560
you. Alright, so you'll be fine. Alright, so with that, let's go

178
00:10:05.560 --> 00:10:07.840
into different categories of protectable works under

179
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:12.600
copyright law. So the first one is literary works. So somebody

180
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:17.040
type in the chat what you think is a literary work that might be

181
00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:22.400
protectable by copyright. Okay, just like, right, boom, Aurelio

182
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:27.880
book. Exactly. Boom, poem, poetry. April's here. April

183
00:10:27.880 --> 00:10:32.120
Parsons. Come on. So good lyrics novel. Yeah, you guys are

184
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:36.760
nailing it. Oh, all right. Now Axel decided to show off. Okay,

185
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.000
I'm just gonna say Axel decided to show off. So he said

186
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.640
computer source code. So Axel clearly is a professor of

187
00:10:43.640 --> 00:10:47.280
intellectual property law already. But he's exactly

188
00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:51.160
right. Computer soft code software is protectable by

189
00:10:51.160 --> 00:10:55.200
copyright. Okay. Alright, so the first one here is literary

190
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:02.240
works, books, poems, manuals, websites, hear this, please hear

191
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.760
this. Websites, funnels, you guys that are running

192
00:11:06.760 --> 00:11:09.200
challenges that are getting tired of people copying the

193
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.560
material from your funnel, and just throwing it on theirs

194
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.760
without doing any of the hard work that you've done. That's

195
00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:20.200
all protectable by copyright. You can send them a

196
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.240
communication that says, Hey, you can't do that. That's my

197
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.960
copyright of a work. And one of the things I'm going to show you

198
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.520
is the copyright notice. Yes, exactly. The rest of brochures

199
00:11:30.520 --> 00:11:35.080
as well. The copyright notice itself. If you put that on your

200
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:38.280
website or on your funnel, that's so valuable, because now

201
00:11:38.280 --> 00:11:42.360
you're telling the public, hey, I have certain legal rights to

202
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.560
my website or my funnel. Okay, or even your blog that's

203
00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:50.400
protectable by copyright as well. Okay, so putting that

204
00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:52.640
notice there is very important. And I'm going to show you how to

205
00:11:52.640 --> 00:11:56.000
use a notice properly. Another thing that's protectable is

206
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.520
musical works, musical works. So if you're thinking of like

207
00:12:00.520 --> 00:12:03.640
songs, now, some of you might be thinking, well, what about

208
00:12:03.640 --> 00:12:06.000
TikTok, all these people that are going live and going

209
00:12:06.040 --> 00:12:11.480
becoming viral? You know, those people there? What about their,

210
00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:15.200
their musical works? Well, the fact of the matter is they do

211
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.720
have certain rights under copyright law. So when somebody

212
00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:21.520
comes in there, and just takes their videos and goes and does

213
00:12:21.520 --> 00:12:23.360
whatever they want, whatever, that's actually copyright

214
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:27.000
infringement. When somebody goes and takes their musical work,

215
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:32.200
their songs, that's copyright infringement. Okay, so TikTok is

216
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.520
actually a nightmare when it comes to IP. Because if you post

217
00:12:36.520 --> 00:12:40.320
something in TikTok, do you realize on the bottom right,

218
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.560
there's this little record that's spinning, you can click

219
00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:46.560
on that and take the audio of that video and then take their

220
00:12:46.560 --> 00:12:49.240
audio and put it onto your own video. That's copyright

221
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:53.400
infringement. All of that is copyright. So they're, they're

222
00:12:53.400 --> 00:12:58.240
literally inducing you to infringe. It's pretty bad, but

223
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.920
nobody's doing anything about it. Because quite frankly, it's

224
00:13:00.920 --> 00:13:05.120
just a fun platform. So nobody cares. Separate from that, from

225
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.640
that dramatic works. If some of you do choreography, that's also

226
00:13:09.640 --> 00:13:15.040
covered pantomimes. If you guys are into this thing, like that,

227
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:19.520
you know, that's protected too. I know it was bad, right? Just

228
00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:22.080
extend a little mercy. All right. It's okay. All right.

229
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.920
Separate from that pictures. So if you're a photographer, okay,

230
00:13:26.920 --> 00:13:27.440
if you take

231
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:31.120
Wait, I missed it. I want to see that again.

232
00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:37.040
Oh, that has to be April. That's April, isn't it? April, this is

233
00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:41.320
just for you. Okay, April. It's just for you. All right. There

234
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:42.480
you go. All right.

235
00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:45.760
Actually, that was our residence dance instructor, Holly.

236
00:13:45.800 --> 00:13:46.480
I love that.

237
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:51.720
Thank you.

238
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.760
April's my sister. So she's, she has some funny comments that

239
00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:58.960
she'll make. All right, separate from that. So like foot

240
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.880
photography, protectable by copyright. If you're a graphic

241
00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:06.320
artist, and you render graphical, like any, let's say

242
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:09.720
like NFTs, they start out as drawings, then you give it to a

243
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:13.800
graphic artist, and they render those into a computer rendered

244
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:17.840
image. There's rights associated with that as well. Motion

245
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:21.640
pictures, sound recordings, architectural works, all of

246
00:14:21.640 --> 00:14:26.120
those are protectable by copyright. Okay, so do you see

247
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:32.120
how broad the spectrum is for copyright, everything from books

248
00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:37.360
to movies, to paintings, the last challenge we did, we had a

249
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.920
ton of prophetic artists that were here, all of their works,

250
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.240
you know, many of them weren't protecting any of their works

251
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:47.800
through copyright law. So we trained them and how to do that.

252
00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:51.480
And now they are like Lynn actually has trained her her

253
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:55.240
classes, all of her students and how to protect their works

254
00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:58.280
through copyright law. And now you can do that as well. So just

255
00:14:58.280 --> 00:14:59.760
make sure you understand that you have

256
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.180
and rights to these works under copyright law.

257
00:15:03.180 --> 00:15:07.960
Now, let me show you how your notice is supposed to look.

258
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:12.640
Now, I saw it was actually put in the chat, so I'm going to put it

259
00:15:12.640 --> 00:15:15.880
in the chat, a little different from what was posted.

260
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:18.640
Hopefully, it grabs the circle C. Oh, it does.

261
00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:20.180
Okay. Okay.

262
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:23.580
That's a proper copyright notice, okay?

263
00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:29.020
What you don't do is you don't write copyright, then the circle C,

264
00:15:29.040 --> 00:15:32.320
because that's saying copyright, copyright, right?

265
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:34.220
The circle C is copyright.

266
00:15:35.040 --> 00:15:38.380
Now, it doesn't mean you're going to get in trouble and somebody's going to get mad at you

267
00:15:38.380 --> 00:15:43.680
or you can't enforce your rights if you do a circle C and copyright, but it's not necessary

268
00:15:43.680 --> 00:15:45.360
because the circle C is copyright.

269
00:15:46.680 --> 00:15:53.100
So, you do circle C, then the date in which you added your new material, okay?

270
00:15:53.100 --> 00:15:54.620
So, sometimes you'll see a range.

271
00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:58.800
Sometimes you'll see somebody say 2020-2022.

272
00:15:59.260 --> 00:16:04.660
So, that means in 2020, 2021, and 2022, you added new material.

273
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:10.640
So, therefore, in your copyright notice, it says the word you're looking for is redundant.

274
00:16:13.380 --> 00:16:15.160
Yes, the word is redundant.

275
00:16:15.160 --> 00:16:16.420
That's correct, April.

276
00:16:16.640 --> 00:16:17.140
That's right.

277
00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:21.240
So, it is redundant if you say copyright, copyright.

278
00:16:21.640 --> 00:16:25.280
So, now you've got the circle C or the word copyright, and then you have the date.

279
00:16:25.560 --> 00:16:28.840
Now, let me talk about the last part, the Jane Doe thing, all right?

280
00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:37.920
That should be listing the entity or the person who owns the mark.

281
00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:42.360
Yes, Cecil nailed it, the individual's name or the company's name.

282
00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:45.240
That's exactly right, Cecil, okay?

283
00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:50.580
So, remember how we talked about ownership of IP and how it's taxed

284
00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:55.540
at a different tax bracket and how it's a corporate expense, and you have to determine whether

285
00:16:55.540 --> 00:17:03.060
or not you want it in your name or do you want it in the name of an entity for multiple reasons,

286
00:17:03.060 --> 00:17:10.780
maybe to make sure you don't run into liability issues or to make sure that you don't run

287
00:17:10.780 --> 00:17:14.859
into other tax issues or whatever the case may be, all right?

288
00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:18.960
So, if you're trying to make sure that you assign it

289
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.839
over to an entity, then the entity name should be there, okay?

290
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:25.920
Just like Shisho said, She-Seal.

291
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.140
She-Seal, can you unmute?

292
00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:32.620
It auto-tricked me.

293
00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:34.420
Cecil, Cecil.

294
00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:36.420
Thank you so much, thank you.

295
00:17:36.420 --> 00:17:37.140
No worry.

296
00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:39.140
I want to make sure I say your name right.

297
00:17:39.140 --> 00:17:42.680
So, just like Cecil said, it was exactly right, okay?

298
00:17:43.040 --> 00:17:50.040
So, just make sure that if you're with a company but you're keeping the assets in your name,

299
00:17:50.040 --> 00:17:53.840
don't list the name of the entity, because the second you do that, you're telling the public

300
00:17:53.840 --> 00:17:57.020
that it's owned by the entity, and then you might run into problems

301
00:17:57.020 --> 00:18:00.060
when you're trying to, you know, enforce.

302
00:18:00.420 --> 00:18:03.800
There's no reason for that, so make sure you do that properly, okay?

303
00:18:03.800 --> 00:18:05.580
Was that pretty simple?

304
00:18:05.820 --> 00:18:06.920
Everybody follow that?

305
00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:16.300
I want everybody here who has a funnel, who has a book, who has a painting, who has a drawing,

306
00:18:16.540 --> 00:18:22.840
who has a sculpture, okay, who has musical works, who has compositions,

307
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.800
use the marking for your copyright on it.

308
00:18:28.540 --> 00:18:29.280
Do it today.

309
00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:31.140
Like, start using it.

310
00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:36.680
The reason why you're doing this is you're placing the public on notice as to your ownership rights.

311
00:18:37.120 --> 00:18:38.720
Now, why do you care?

312
00:18:38.760 --> 00:18:39.940
Why is that a big deal?

313
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:44.340
The reason why that's a big deal is because when it comes to damages,

314
00:18:44.800 --> 00:18:53.080
proving damages, you want to be able to show that the other person knew about the infringement, okay?

315
00:18:53.080 --> 00:18:56.360
They knew that you had certain rights, okay?

316
00:18:56.360 --> 00:19:01.540
So, having that notice there is essentially placing the public on notice

317
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:08.780
as to your own personal legal rights, because what if I'm kind of, I see your stuff,

318
00:19:08.780 --> 00:19:12.260
and I just grab it, and then all of a sudden, you sue me, and you say, hey,

319
00:19:12.260 --> 00:19:13.360
I had certain rights to that.

320
00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:18.420
Now, yes, legally, you do, but when it comes to court, I'm going to bring up arguments like, well,

321
00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:22.380
what she basically said was stuff that's common knowledge.

322
00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:26.760
It's nothing new, and if she actually believed that she had some kind of rights to it,

323
00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:28.560
well, she should have used a copyright notice.

324
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.440
Now, do you need to use a copyright notice?

325
00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:35.140
No. The law is very clear.

326
00:19:35.140 --> 00:19:38.640
You don't specifically have to use a copyright notice, but here's the thing.

327
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.200
Would you rather spend money paying your lawyer

328
00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:47.680
so that your lawyer can spend more time proving your case so that you actually win damages,

329
00:19:47.680 --> 00:19:53.060
or would you like to take the five seconds it takes to actually put the notice there

330
00:19:53.060 --> 00:19:54.260
so that it's done for you?

331
00:19:54.260 --> 00:19:59.980
So, a lot of what I'm teaching you here is it's not just are you going to win a case

332
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:01.200
Or are you not going to win a case?

333
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:02.740
Because that's what a lot of lawyers will teach you.

334
00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:05.620
They'll say, there's Black, there's white.

335
00:20:05.620 --> 00:20:07.940
I'm sorry, but the law is very gray.

336
00:20:07.940 --> 00:20:12.340
Now, it's a good lawyer's job to make things Black or white

337
00:20:12.340 --> 00:20:15.340
based on the position that their client's in.

338
00:20:15.340 --> 00:20:18.300
But in law, I can take a situation

339
00:20:18.300 --> 00:20:21.340
when I can create new case law.

340
00:20:21.340 --> 00:20:22.380
And I've done that.

341
00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:25.860
In Massachusetts, I created brand new case law

342
00:20:25.860 --> 00:20:27.420
only four years ago.

343
00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:29.340
The only case like it, when it came

344
00:20:29.340 --> 00:20:31.860
to transferring of a case from the Southern District

345
00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:33.900
of California into Massachusetts,

346
00:20:33.900 --> 00:20:37.060
the very first case that happened in the manner

347
00:20:37.060 --> 00:20:38.900
in which that case happened.

348
00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:41.100
So I created case law.

349
00:20:41.100 --> 00:20:45.260
So you don't want to spend money helping.

350
00:20:45.260 --> 00:20:47.180
You don't want to spend money in the area

351
00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:49.060
where your lawyers are trying to get you damages.

352
00:20:49.060 --> 00:20:50.600
Because as you're doing that, you're

353
00:20:50.600 --> 00:20:52.540
losing the money you're going to make.

354
00:20:52.540 --> 00:20:55.660
And the fact of the matter is, you're using copyright notices

355
00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:57.500
not to make money, really.

356
00:20:57.500 --> 00:21:00.420
It's to stop people from stealing your stuff.

357
00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:02.780
Because we're not here just so that we can go sue people.

358
00:21:02.780 --> 00:21:05.180
We're here to stop people from taking our stuff.

359
00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:06.740
Does that make sense?

360
00:21:06.740 --> 00:21:07.580
Yeah, good.

361
00:21:07.580 --> 00:21:08.420
All right.

362
00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:10.820
All right, so let me talk to you about a few other things.

363
00:21:10.820 --> 00:21:13.420
What kind of rights do you get?

364
00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:17.380
I'm going to share my screen again.

365
00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:19.460
And I'm going to put this tonight.

366
00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:21.380
I'll put this in the group as well.

367
00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:24.100
So you don't have to worry if you don't write this down

368
00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:26.340
fast enough, OK?

369
00:21:26.340 --> 00:21:28.020
These are the different rights that you

370
00:21:28.020 --> 00:21:29.940
have with a copyright.

371
00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:32.660
You are the only one who is allowed

372
00:21:32.660 --> 00:21:37.420
to reproduce that work, the only one, OK?

373
00:21:37.420 --> 00:21:40.540
That means if you create a painting,

374
00:21:40.540 --> 00:21:44.460
nobody else can make a copy of that painting, period.

375
00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:47.900
Now, if you create an NFT, a drawing for an NFT,

376
00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:53.780
nobody can convert that drawing into a computer-rendered image.

377
00:21:53.780 --> 00:21:57.380
Because that is, in fact, a derivative work.

378
00:21:57.380 --> 00:21:58.940
That's the second thing.

379
00:21:58.940 --> 00:22:01.260
It's a modification of the original work

380
00:22:01.260 --> 00:22:02.860
into another form.

381
00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:06.900
Or it's just a modification of the original work in general.

382
00:22:06.900 --> 00:22:08.620
That's so similar to the first one

383
00:22:08.620 --> 00:22:12.020
that it's clear that it was derived from the first.

384
00:22:12.020 --> 00:22:14.780
That's where the word derivative comes from.

385
00:22:14.780 --> 00:22:17.820
It means it was derived from the original work.

386
00:22:17.820 --> 00:22:21.500
Now, just out of curiosity before I go further,

387
00:22:21.500 --> 00:22:26.780
does anybody here know, like the alums can't answer this.

388
00:22:26.780 --> 00:22:28.220
Alums can't answer this because you're

389
00:22:28.220 --> 00:22:29.900
going to know the answer to this, OK?

390
00:22:29.900 --> 00:22:34.380
Does anybody here know what's in the background of the Mona Lisa?

391
00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:41.260
Axel, unmute.

392
00:22:41.260 --> 00:22:44.300
Let's see if you got this one.

393
00:22:44.300 --> 00:22:47.500
I just know that there's a landscape.

394
00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:50.260
But I don't know exactly what it represents.

395
00:22:50.260 --> 00:22:51.580
Yes, very good.

396
00:22:51.580 --> 00:22:52.420
That's very good.

397
00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:55.580
You're the first person in four challenges

398
00:22:55.580 --> 00:22:57.020
who actually knew that.

399
00:22:57.020 --> 00:22:58.380
Really well done.

400
00:22:58.380 --> 00:23:00.100
So it is a landscape.

401
00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:03.260
There's a body of water that's going through the landscape.

402
00:23:03.260 --> 00:23:05.780
Now, who here cares?

403
00:23:05.780 --> 00:23:08.140
No, I don't care.

404
00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:11.500
It's like the Mona Lisa is about her face, right?

405
00:23:11.500 --> 00:23:13.700
That's the essence of the work.

406
00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:15.660
So the thing that you own in a copyright

407
00:23:15.660 --> 00:23:19.180
is what's the essence of the work, OK?

408
00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:22.900
So if it's a painting, there's an essence to the painting,

409
00:23:22.900 --> 00:23:23.380
all right?

410
00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:26.140
So the background may not be important.

411
00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:28.060
So if somebody copies the background,

412
00:23:28.060 --> 00:23:30.700
chances of their infringing is very low.

413
00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:33.980
Well, if they copied the face of the Mona Lisa,

414
00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:35.340
the chances are very high.

415
00:23:35.340 --> 00:23:37.780
Obviously, the Mona Lisa has been around a long time

416
00:23:37.780 --> 00:23:39.700
so that the copyright's expired.

417
00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:41.780
You can copy her face all you want, OK?

418
00:23:41.780 --> 00:23:43.220
You're not going to get in trouble.

419
00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:46.180
But the fact of the matter is that most people don't

420
00:23:46.180 --> 00:23:47.380
know what's in the background.

421
00:23:47.380 --> 00:23:50.980
So that tells you that's not the essence of the copyright.

422
00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:53.460
Therefore, the chances are very high

423
00:23:53.460 --> 00:23:55.660
that if you're using that part, you're

424
00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:57.460
not infringing because it's not really

425
00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:59.180
the essence of the copyright.

426
00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:00.220
Does that make sense?

427
00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:03.580
So every copyrighted work has an essence.

428
00:24:03.580 --> 00:24:05.580
There's some kind of essence to it.

429
00:24:05.580 --> 00:24:07.900
Paintings are very easy to figure out.

430
00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:14.500
Musical works, they're a little less easy to figure out.

431
00:24:14.500 --> 00:24:19.940
But I'm going to put in the Facebook group tonight one,

432
00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:23.100
two, I'll see if I put in two different examples of where

433
00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:26.180
there clearly was copyright infringement.

434
00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:28.940
Does everybody remember Vanilla Ice?

435
00:24:28.940 --> 00:24:30.820
Ice, ice, baby, right?

436
00:24:30.820 --> 00:24:31.460
You remember that?

437
00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:32.100
Yeah.

438
00:24:32.100 --> 00:24:34.100
Dum, dum, dum, doo, doo, dum, dum.

439
00:24:34.100 --> 00:24:35.500
Dum, dum, dum, doo, doo, dum, dum.

440
00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:36.460
You guys remember that?

441
00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:36.980
All right.

442
00:24:36.980 --> 00:24:41.460
Now, that exact beat, if you looked at the queen,

443
00:24:41.460 --> 00:24:43.980
queen actually had a song.

444
00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:47.140
And it didn't go dum, dum, dum, dum, doo, doo, dum, dum.

445
00:24:47.140 --> 00:24:48.900
Dum, dum, dum, dum, doo, doo, dum, dum.

446
00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:52.660
The way it went was dum, dum, dum, dum, doo, dum, dum.

447
00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:54.580
Dum, dum, dum, dum, doo, dum, dum, right?

448
00:24:54.580 --> 00:24:55.980
That's the way it went.

449
00:24:55.980 --> 00:25:00.060
Now, what Vanilla Ice did was he quote, unquote,

450
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.140
changed it. Now you tell me if this this if this captures the

451
00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:06.540
essence of what I told you in the beginning, right? So

452
00:25:06.540 --> 00:25:10.080
remember, the original work by Queen was dum dum dum dum dum

453
00:25:10.080 --> 00:25:13.940
dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum, right? Vanilla Ice did

454
00:25:13.940 --> 00:25:19.060
this. Dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum. Is

455
00:25:19.060 --> 00:25:24.600
there copyright infringement or not? Yes. All right. He paid $4

456
00:25:24.600 --> 00:25:29.980
million to these people to make them go away essentially. Because

457
00:25:29.980 --> 00:25:33.280
instead of coming up with his own work, he copied the essence

458
00:25:33.340 --> 00:25:36.880
of the other party's work. Okay? That's how you kind of determine

459
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.200
whether or not there's some infringement. So let's go back

460
00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.640
into the rights that you have under copyright law. Let me

461
00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:49.900
share my screen again. Okay. Share. Okay, here we go. So the

462
00:25:49.900 --> 00:25:53.760
right to reproduce the work, you have the right and a reproduction

463
00:25:53.760 --> 00:25:57.240
is like the exact copy. That's a reproduction. But then there's

464
00:25:57.240 --> 00:25:59.620
the right to create derivative works, which are slight

465
00:25:59.620 --> 00:26:02.920
modifications. So imagine taking the Mona Lisa and putting

466
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:07.280
a mustache on her, right? Or giving her like one glove like

467
00:26:07.280 --> 00:26:10.800
Michael Jackson, right? That would be a derivative work.

468
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.080
That's not an original work. It's a slight modification to

469
00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:18.600
the original. Okay. All right. Separate from that, to

470
00:26:18.600 --> 00:26:22.420
distribute copies to the public. That's another right that only

471
00:26:22.420 --> 00:26:26.040
you have the right to perform the work. Holly's here, I

472
00:26:26.040 --> 00:26:30.100
believe. She's amazing at dancing. So she comes out with

473
00:26:30.100 --> 00:26:33.620
some kind of, let's say choreographed work, and

474
00:26:33.620 --> 00:26:37.980
somebody else grabs it and decides to perform it

475
00:26:37.980 --> 00:26:42.300
themselves. They are infringing upon her own copyright. Okay,

476
00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:47.040
the right to publicly display the work. So if you have a

477
00:26:47.040 --> 00:26:50.040
painting, people have got to hear this because people do this

478
00:26:50.040 --> 00:26:52.460
wrong all the time. You have your own original painting.

479
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.960
Somebody goes and they purchase that, but then they go and they

480
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:01.520
display it. And they charge admission to see it. You can

481
00:27:01.520 --> 00:27:04.320
run into copyright issues there. Now there's the first sale

482
00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:07.280
doctrine. So now somebody has actually purchased something,

483
00:27:07.280 --> 00:27:10.960
they own it, but you own it for personal reasons. Not that you

484
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.520
don't own the original artistic work. All artists own the

485
00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:19.120
original work. They are the only ones who have the right to

486
00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:21.560
display. There are certain rights that you get when you

487
00:27:21.560 --> 00:27:26.120
purchase a work from an artist, but you do not obtain the right

488
00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:30.380
to publicly display and charge people 1000 people to walk into

489
00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:33.500
your home to actually see the painting. Those are rights that

490
00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:37.980
go back to the original artist. In the case of sound recordings

491
00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:41.140
to perform them publicly. I'll give you an example of that,

492
00:27:41.140 --> 00:27:47.020
which is pretty painful. You ever walk into a bar or a

493
00:27:47.020 --> 00:27:53.000
restaurant is playing music. Yeah, you cannot play music in a

494
00:27:53.000 --> 00:27:58.480
public forum without getting sued by BMI or ASCAP. Second,

495
00:27:58.480 --> 00:28:01.920
you start doing that, and people are like it's a paid

496
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:05.740
establishment, or you have a nightclub and you're playing

497
00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:08.800
music, right? And it's not your original work, you're playing

498
00:28:08.800 --> 00:28:13.600
somebody else's work. That's copyright infringement. I used to

499
00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:17.380
represent BMI, like back in the day. So they would send these

500
00:28:17.380 --> 00:28:21.220
cease and desist letters out all the time, say, hey, stop playing

501
00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:26.660
the music in the bar and send me a check for $2,500. Okay, and

502
00:28:26.660 --> 00:28:30.380
then we'll go away. Or you can take a license from us. Now, I'm

503
00:28:30.380 --> 00:28:32.420
going to give you a practical example. And then we're going to

504
00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:36.540
go into some more detail. I had somebody reached out to me, this

505
00:28:36.540 --> 00:28:40.120
was a number of years ago. And the person was really, really

506
00:28:40.120 --> 00:28:44.580
upset, like really upset. His name was Bill. And Bill said,

507
00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:49.540
I've got a website that I create for for dentists. Like, that's

508
00:28:49.540 --> 00:28:52.500
what I do. I create websites for dentists. That's my money. That's

509
00:28:52.500 --> 00:28:57.100
where I make all my cheddar, right. And so he said that all

510
00:28:57.100 --> 00:29:01.300
of a sudden, people were copying his website. They were just

511
00:29:01.300 --> 00:29:06.380
grabbing the material. So all of a sudden, like his sales were

512
00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:09.500
decreasing and decreasing and decreasing. And he says, what

513
00:29:09.500 --> 00:29:12.240
can I do about this? And he's don't do I have trademark rights

514
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:16.700
that Nope. He says, well, it's an original website, don't have

515
00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:20.760
patent rights. I said, Nope. And so he said, Well, what can I do?

516
00:29:20.760 --> 00:29:25.000
And I said, we're going to file a copyright on the website. We're

517
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.800
just going to print off each page of the website. I'm going

518
00:29:27.800 --> 00:29:31.120
to file that as a copyright. And we did. And then we sent cease

519
00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:33.720
and desist letters to other parties with a copy of the

520
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:38.460
federal registration. And everybody backed off. Everybody.

521
00:29:39.140 --> 00:29:42.820
Okay, he also made a demand for certain funds up front, because

522
00:29:42.820 --> 00:29:45.020
he wanted to pay his attorney's fees. And so people were cutting

523
00:29:45.020 --> 00:29:48.720
them checks for 2500 $1,500, just because they were

524
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.340
infringing. So when you go out there, and you look at somebody's

525
00:29:52.340 --> 00:29:55.060
funnel, or you see somebody's website, don't think you can

526
00:29:55.060 --> 00:29:57.840
just grab what they have. All right, because if they

527
00:29:57.840 --> 00:29:59.820
understand copyright law, you can run into

528
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.240
serious problems very fast, okay?

529
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:05.400
And you're personally gonna have your own notice on there

530
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:07.320
so you don't run into this anymore.

531
00:30:07.320 --> 00:30:09.680
Now, one other thing on that site that he had,

532
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:11.960
he had a picture of his wife's teeth.

533
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:14.680
I don't know why he did that.

534
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:16.280
I mean, what possesses you one day

535
00:30:16.280 --> 00:30:18.080
to put your wife's teeth on a website?

536
00:30:18.080 --> 00:30:19.240
I don't know.

537
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.080
But he was very upset that his wife's teeth

538
00:30:21.080 --> 00:30:21.920
were on the website.

539
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:23.960
So I said, well, Bill,

540
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:27.600
maybe you shouldn't put your wife's teeth on the website.

541
00:30:27.600 --> 00:30:29.120
That didn't really go well with him,

542
00:30:30.040 --> 00:30:32.720
but then what we do is we file a copyright application

543
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:37.280
for his wife's teeth, like the picture.

544
00:30:37.280 --> 00:30:38.520
I know this sounds silly,

545
00:30:38.520 --> 00:30:42.000
but then everybody who actually had

546
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:45.240
taking a copy of that picture,

547
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:46.840
we send a cease and desist letter,

548
00:30:46.840 --> 00:30:49.440
they all stopped immediately.

549
00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:50.840
They all stopped, okay?

550
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.360
All right, I see a really good question here by Lisa.

551
00:30:56.360 --> 00:30:59.600
So it says, if I do a prayer group online

552
00:30:59.600 --> 00:31:02.520
and play music in the background, oh boy.

553
00:31:02.520 --> 00:31:03.680
Oh, we play music.

554
00:31:05.560 --> 00:31:10.560
Okay, I'm gonna give you an example of this

555
00:31:10.800 --> 00:31:13.160
that's gonna answer your question.

556
00:31:13.160 --> 00:31:16.360
Yes, it's a copyright infringement issue, okay?

557
00:31:16.360 --> 00:31:18.480
The question is, is anybody ever gonna enforce it?

558
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:20.320
That's really what it comes down to, right?

559
00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:22.160
But here's what happens.

560
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.960
I used to go live all the time.

561
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:25.280
A number of people here that know me,

562
00:31:25.280 --> 00:31:30.040
I go live on YouTube and I do ministry work, right?

563
00:31:30.040 --> 00:31:31.560
So I'd have some music in the background,

564
00:31:31.560 --> 00:31:33.160
I have some Bethel music running,

565
00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:35.120
or I'd have some William Augusto.

566
00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:36.880
Oh, I love William Augusto.

567
00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:38.840
I'd have that running in the background, right?

568
00:31:38.840 --> 00:31:40.320
To set the atmosphere.

569
00:31:40.320 --> 00:31:43.480
Then I'd pray for the sick or I'd minister to other people.

570
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.080
And then the video would be there.

571
00:31:45.080 --> 00:31:47.200
You know what would happen immediately?

572
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:49.200
I get a notice from YouTube.

573
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.600
My video was flagged for copyright infringement, okay?

574
00:31:53.600 --> 00:31:55.040
You do not have the right to use

575
00:31:55.040 --> 00:31:58.520
somebody else's musical works to make your own video works.

576
00:31:58.520 --> 00:31:59.680
Don't have the right for that.

577
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.120
Now, for personal consumption,

578
00:32:02.120 --> 00:32:06.080
you can all day long listen to music for yourself,

579
00:32:06.080 --> 00:32:09.400
but if you're now going to have a situation where people pay

580
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:11.000
or it's part of a service

581
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:12.680
and using somebody else's musical work,

582
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:14.880
you can run into copyright infringement issues.

583
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.600
This is why people, what they do is there are websites

584
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.040
that have either royalty free music

585
00:32:24.040 --> 00:32:28.280
or they get a subscription to something like Spotify

586
00:32:28.280 --> 00:32:32.040
or YouTube Premium, YouTube Platinum,

587
00:32:32.040 --> 00:32:34.560
where you can play things nonstop.

588
00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:38.920
Like I have a playlist on YouTube that's very long.

589
00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:42.160
And since I have the higher level of YouTube,

590
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.520
I have no commercials and it just plays.

591
00:32:44.520 --> 00:32:45.640
And it plays nonstop.

592
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:48.880
Now, I'm not perfect just to be clear.

593
00:32:49.280 --> 00:32:52.800
When I do ministry events, I'm playing worship music

594
00:32:52.800 --> 00:32:54.720
and I'm an IP attorney, okay?

595
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.840
So I'm not telling you to commit copyright infringement.

596
00:32:57.840 --> 00:33:00.720
I'm just telling you that I am playing it in the background.

597
00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:03.480
But if you make a copy of that video

598
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:05.760
and you store it somewhere, that's copyright infringement

599
00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:08.080
and that's proof of your copyright infringement.

600
00:33:08.080 --> 00:33:09.200
So what does YouTube do?

601
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.600
YouTube, they flag your video

602
00:33:12.600 --> 00:33:14.080
and they make it so that your video

603
00:33:14.080 --> 00:33:16.080
can't have ads run on it.

604
00:33:16.080 --> 00:33:18.360
That's the remedy that they actually have.

605
00:33:18.760 --> 00:33:21.520
But they also notify the owner of the copyright.

606
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.760
So if the owner of the copyright so chooses,

607
00:33:24.760 --> 00:33:26.400
they can actually reach out to you and say,

608
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:29.080
hey, you owe me X amount of money

609
00:33:29.080 --> 00:33:31.520
or you need to stop using this immediately.

610
00:33:31.520 --> 00:33:34.280
So this is why, you know,

611
00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:37.400
there are certain ministries

612
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:39.040
that will allow you to use their music.

613
00:33:39.040 --> 00:33:41.520
It's beneficial to figure out who those people are.

614
00:33:41.520 --> 00:33:46.520
Or there's certain royalty-free music bodies out there.

615
00:33:46.520 --> 00:33:48.280
You can use those as well.

616
00:33:48.280 --> 00:33:50.000
Tomorrow, I'm gonna talk about something

617
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:52.640
that'll make your life a lot easier

618
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.160
because I actually post in there

619
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.280
these royalty-free places to obtain music,

620
00:33:59.280 --> 00:34:02.720
to obtain images, where to do searches.

621
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.160
I mean, tons and tons of stuff for everybody.

622
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:06.520
We'll talk about that tomorrow, okay?

623
00:34:06.520 --> 00:34:07.760
So make sure you hit tomorrow.

624
00:34:07.760 --> 00:34:09.760
You guys are gonna wanna be here tomorrow.

625
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.520
All right, let's talk a little bit more

626
00:34:12.520 --> 00:34:14.840
about copyright so far.

627
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.159
This isn't so difficult, right?

628
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:18.360
Copyright's not really that tough.

629
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:22.880
It's just that most people don't realize

630
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:25.199
what's coverable by copyright.

631
00:34:25.199 --> 00:34:30.199
Now, we have a number of people here who are authors, okay?

632
00:34:30.560 --> 00:34:32.520
If you're an author, raise your hand.

633
00:34:32.520 --> 00:34:35.480
If you write books, yeah, we got a lot of authors here.

634
00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:36.679
Okay, all right.

635
00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:43.000
I'm gonna talk about how copyright

636
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:46.040
and trademark work together for authors, okay?

637
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:51.920
So in a single work, in a single book, one book,

638
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:55.440
look at all these things that can apply.

639
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:58.480
The picture on the front of the book,

640
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:00.280
somebody type in the chat what that.

641
00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:03.040
potentially protectable by? Just the picture.

642
00:35:09.040 --> 00:35:15.280
Copyright. That's right. The picture itself, that picture that's the drawing or the painting,

643
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:20.560
that is protectable by copyright. Now, some people mentioned trademark. Let me talk a little

644
00:35:20.560 --> 00:35:28.720
bit about that. If there's a logo on the book, that may be protectable by what people are saying,

645
00:35:28.720 --> 00:35:33.600
trademark. If you got a logo on the book, which isn't that common, but sometimes people have a

646
00:35:33.600 --> 00:35:39.600
logo on the book, make sure you got your TM or your circle R there. Now, the title of the book,

647
00:35:41.760 --> 00:35:45.840
I'm not going to ask you this question because everybody gets it wrong. I'm going to spare

648
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:49.680
everybody. People think they can get a trademark for a title of a book.

649
00:35:51.040 --> 00:35:57.680
It's extremely difficult to get a trademark for a title of a book unless it's a series. Type in

650
00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:06.960
the chat series. S-E-R-I-E-S. Series. Exactly. Series, series, series. If you have like

651
00:36:10.720 --> 00:36:18.800
Lord of the Rings or something else that has a series of books and that title is consistently

652
00:36:18.800 --> 00:36:26.400
utilized, then you can apply for a trademark for the title because copyright does pertain to

653
00:36:27.120 --> 00:36:34.240
titles. I'm not copyright. Trademarks do pertain to titles of books for a series,

654
00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:40.400
but if it's a one-off, good luck. It's not happening. Examiners will reject it all day long

655
00:36:41.120 --> 00:36:47.120
because they don't believe there's enough strength behind it. You can try. It's just

656
00:36:47.120 --> 00:36:51.840
extremely difficult. Harry Potter. Thank you, April. Harry Potter is the other one.

657
00:36:53.360 --> 00:37:00.240
All these different versions of satanic teaching. I mean, of teaching that's in there. All those

658
00:37:00.240 --> 00:37:08.000
versions that are in there. That's a series covered by copyright. Subliminal messages.

659
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:13.680
Okay. Really? That's hilarious. All right. We're not done yet. We're not done yet.

660
00:37:14.640 --> 00:37:19.200
Now, you open the book. What should you see on that first page?

661
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:26.160
Copyright notice. Grisna said it exactly right. Copyright notice should be right there,

662
00:37:26.160 --> 00:37:30.320
either on the back of the front page or around the front page, first or second page.

663
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:37.280
Copyright notice should be bam, circle C, date, and whoever owns it. Now,

664
00:37:38.240 --> 00:37:42.720
for those of you that are authors, you got to be careful about something here, all right?

665
00:37:42.720 --> 00:37:49.520
If you're working with a publisher, be careful what you sign. I'm telling you this now because

666
00:37:49.520 --> 00:37:56.640
I care about all of you. You can sign off all right title and interest to your book by a single

667
00:37:56.640 --> 00:38:02.080
signature. You need to read that document that you're signing when you're working with a publisher

668
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:07.840
because I guarantee you in there, it's talking about copyright law. It's going to say,

669
00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:13.840
I hereby assign all right title and interest to such and such book, including all copyrightable

670
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:18.800
works, blah, blah, blah. It's all in there. You just need to read it or you need somebody boring

671
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:23.680
like a lawyer to read it. Okay. One or two, but you need to look at that language.

672
00:38:24.720 --> 00:38:29.520
And why is that important? If you assign all right title and interest to your book over to

673
00:38:29.520 --> 00:38:37.600
another party, you have zero rights left. So for those of you that are writing a book and

674
00:38:37.600 --> 00:38:42.720
you're thinking, well, the book's not going to be made into a movie or I'm going to make that book

675
00:38:42.720 --> 00:38:48.240
into a series, but you assigned all right title and interest to that original book over another

676
00:38:48.240 --> 00:38:56.480
party, another entity. Nope. Because your next book in the series is actually a derivative work

677
00:38:56.480 --> 00:39:02.640
of the original. So you're committing copyright infringement based on your own work. I mean,

678
00:39:03.120 --> 00:39:08.560
this happens in real life. This is why I'm telling you authors here, be careful when you're working

679
00:39:08.560 --> 00:39:12.560
with publishers, be careful when you're working with like clearing houses, when you're working

680
00:39:12.560 --> 00:39:18.880
with individuals that are going to, even when you do it online, read the fine print as to what you

681
00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:25.680
are signing away. Is this helping you guys who are authors? Yeah. All right. I don't want a

682
00:39:25.680 --> 00:39:31.920
situation where I get a DM or a phone call and somebody's panicking where obviously I'm always

683
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:34.880
going to be there for you, right? I'm not saying I'm not going to be there. I'm just saying, I

684
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:40.800
don't want to see you suffer in this way because I've seen people lose everything. And then here's

685
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:45.120
the thing with authors. And it's the same thing with artists. And it's the same thing with computer

686
00:39:45.120 --> 00:39:52.480
graph. It's a little less for software code. Well, no, I'm a nerd. I take that back. Us nerdy

687
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:59.840
code writers, artists, people that are writing books, all of you.

688
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:03.280
The created work is our baby.

689
00:40:03.280 --> 00:40:04.720
I don't know if I'm

690
00:40:04.720 --> 00:40:06.120
the only one who actually feels like that,

691
00:40:06.120 --> 00:40:08.960
but when I create a work, it's my baby.

692
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:10.960
I don't mean my physical baby,

693
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:14.680
I'm not that crazy, but it is very important to me.

694
00:40:14.680 --> 00:40:17.120
I don't want somebody else just grabbing

695
00:40:17.120 --> 00:40:20.760
this thing and doing whatever they want with it.

696
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.380
You've got to be careful

697
00:40:22.380 --> 00:40:23.880
what legal documents you're signing.

698
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:25.480
You've got to be really careful.

699
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:26.960
I know I'm harping on this a lot,

700
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:30.080
but I get the phone calls every week,

701
00:40:30.080 --> 00:40:32.280
where people are like, what do I do now?

702
00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.320
The company that I actually created the book for

703
00:40:35.320 --> 00:40:37.280
says that they're going to do

704
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:39.120
this and they won't give me any money for this,

705
00:40:39.120 --> 00:40:44.400
or the company that I created

706
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:46.680
the NFT for is not paying

707
00:40:46.680 --> 00:40:50.420
me for any of the royalties associated with the sales.

708
00:40:50.420 --> 00:40:52.080
Yeah, that's right.

709
00:40:52.080 --> 00:40:53.520
You have to understand the rights.

710
00:40:53.520 --> 00:40:55.600
If you're an artist and you're creating NFTs,

711
00:40:55.600 --> 00:40:57.720
you have way more power than you actually know.

712
00:40:57.720 --> 00:40:59.000
Way more power.

713
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.400
Because that computer-generated artistic work

714
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:03.760
actually is a derivative of your original work.

715
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:07.160
When they actually sell that NFT on the market in OpenSea,

716
00:41:07.160 --> 00:41:08.400
that's actually selling of

717
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:10.080
your original work that came off of

718
00:41:10.080 --> 00:41:12.840
the derivative work that should come to your pocket.

719
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:15.440
You need to negotiate upfront,

720
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:16.920
because if you don't do it upfront,

721
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:18.600
I guarantee there's going to be a company out there

722
00:41:18.600 --> 00:41:20.320
that knows you don't know what you do,

723
00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:24.440
because they have somebody like me,

724
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:28.080
who's there, who's actually telling them this stuff.

725
00:41:28.080 --> 00:41:30.480
Now you know it, so take care of it.

726
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:31.720
What is NFT?

727
00:41:31.720 --> 00:41:33.040
Great question.

728
00:41:33.040 --> 00:41:35.960
Non-fungible token.

729
00:41:36.200 --> 00:41:39.600
I'll publish something in the Facebook group.

730
00:41:39.600 --> 00:41:41.640
I'll put something in the Facebook group that'll

731
00:41:41.640 --> 00:41:42.720
make it a little easier for you,

732
00:41:42.720 --> 00:41:44.320
a little video that I'll train.

733
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:48.840
Eric, next time he's doing his challenge,

734
00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:50.640
I'll actually post it in the Facebook group as well.

735
00:41:50.640 --> 00:41:54.040
His challenge is amazing when it comes to what an NFT is,

736
00:41:54.040 --> 00:41:55.840
how to use NFTs,

737
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:57.200
how to make money off NFTs,

738
00:41:57.200 --> 00:41:58.560
how to create NFTs.

739
00:41:58.560 --> 00:42:01.920
He has an incredible challenge on that.

740
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:05.880
I actually come in as a guest for him and teach on that as well.

741
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.320
Let's take a break right here.

742
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:10.360
Ray, are you ready?

743
00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:12.680
I am.

744
00:42:12.680 --> 00:42:17.080
Now, Ray has brand new Internet, which is amazing.

745
00:42:17.080 --> 00:42:19.520
Great. That's awesome.

746
00:42:19.520 --> 00:42:21.480
Let's go ahead and run this.

747
00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:23.800
This is for the electronic business card.

748
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:24.720
All right.

749
00:42:24.720 --> 00:42:25.240
Let's go ahead and run.

750
00:42:25.240 --> 00:42:26.080
In all fairness, guys,

751
00:42:26.080 --> 00:42:28.640
I'm floating in the middle of the ocean.

752
00:42:34.040 --> 00:42:36.440
Can you guys see my screen?

753
00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:37.560
Yes.

754
00:42:37.560 --> 00:42:39.480
Looks good.

755
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:42.760
It's spinning.

756
00:42:45.720 --> 00:42:48.520
Let's see what stops on.

757
00:42:48.600 --> 00:42:50.800
Anthony.

758
00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:52.480
Is Anthony here?

759
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:53.400
Yes, there you are.

760
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:54.360
Anthony is here.

761
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:55.760
Congratulations.

762
00:42:55.760 --> 00:42:57.080
All right. Awesome.

763
00:42:57.080 --> 00:42:57.560
Awesome.

764
00:42:57.560 --> 00:42:59.400
Do you have one of these?

765
00:42:59.400 --> 00:42:59.960
I don't have.

766
00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:02.440
So look at what we're going to happen now.

767
00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:05.960
So I have actually a company that's shipping from USA to Georgia.

768
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:08.640
So I will send my address from this warehouse

769
00:43:08.640 --> 00:43:10.520
and then it will come to me here across Europe.

770
00:43:10.520 --> 00:43:11.720
I'll totally take care of you.

771
00:43:11.720 --> 00:43:12.440
Don't worry about it.

772
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:13.560
Awesome, man. Thank you so much.

773
00:43:13.560 --> 00:43:14.960
Any way I have to get it to you, I'm getting it to you.

774
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:16.600
I had a feeling I would win actually today.

775
00:43:16.600 --> 00:43:19.560
I don't know why I just had an English.

776
00:43:19.560 --> 00:43:20.920
Well, it's good you didn't say anything.

777
00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:21.800
So you didn't mess it up.

778
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:22.920
You know, it's good.

779
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:23.840
It's really good.

780
00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:26.280
Because then everybody would thought this was fixed, you know?

781
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:27.600
Wow.

782
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:31.320
All right. Let's stop sharing your screen for the moment, please.

783
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:34.200
Thank you. And we'll jump back in.

784
00:43:34.200 --> 00:43:35.520
OK, let's turn this.

785
00:43:35.520 --> 00:43:38.640
And there's there's another there are two more awards.

786
00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:43.240
One is another $50 gift certificate for Amazon.

787
00:43:43.600 --> 00:43:46.120
And then there's the last day,

788
00:43:46.680 --> 00:43:50.320
a one hour session with me to talk about anything that you want.

789
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:54.480
All right. And I mean, we can talk about hunting and fishing if you want.

790
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:56.960
I don't care. But I would go for the IP.

791
00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:59.040
All right. That's what I would do.

792
00:43:59.040 --> 00:44:00.640
Because it's at 600 bucks an hour.

793
00:44:00.640 --> 00:44:03.480
If you can get that, it works out very well.

794
00:44:03.560 --> 00:44:05.600
A number of people have used that already.

795
00:44:05.600 --> 00:44:07.680
All right. So let's talk a little bit more.

796
00:44:08.080 --> 00:44:11.120
Hey, Peter. Yes.

797
00:44:11.120 --> 00:44:12.520
A lot of people are asking some questions

798
00:44:12.520 --> 00:44:15.160
and you can just say whether you want to address this, like maybe in a Facebook

799
00:44:15.160 --> 00:44:19.720
group about using Bible verses in songs and works and that sort of thing.

800
00:44:19.720 --> 00:44:21.600
And yeah, let's I can talk about that.

801
00:44:21.600 --> 00:44:25.560
I don't mind talking about that. OK, let's let me do this.

802
00:44:26.120 --> 00:44:28.040
Let me go to that first.

803
00:44:28.040 --> 00:44:32.480
And then I want to in the remaining time, I want to share the Copyright

804
00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:36.840
Office's website because I want to make sure people are aware of how to actually

805
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:41.560
file. So in general, if you're using a Bible

806
00:44:41.560 --> 00:44:44.960
that's like 300 years old, copy all you want if it's.

807
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:47.560
But there's newer, quote unquote, translations.

808
00:44:48.240 --> 00:44:50.880
The Passion Translation is a newer work.

809
00:44:51.680 --> 00:44:54.400
OK, so you can't go copying the Passion Translation

810
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:56.840
because there's actually copyrights associated with that.

811
00:44:57.520 --> 00:45:00.040
All right. So you can't you what you have to do is look.

812
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.820
at the actual Bible that you're utilizing and make sure as to whether or not the copyright

813
00:45:04.820 --> 00:45:11.700
is expired or not. All right. So if you're using like an old King James version that

814
00:45:11.700 --> 00:45:16.840
your great, great, great grandmother use, have fun, do whatever you want. You can do

815
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:24.860
all the art Val shouts that you like and it shall it be greater. Okay. But if you're looking

816
00:45:24.860 --> 00:45:31.300
for something that's way more passionate. So as to see vibrant colors flowing as you're

817
00:45:31.300 --> 00:45:38.200
speaking. And now I have like just something growing inside of me, like that passion translation,

818
00:45:38.200 --> 00:45:42.360
you better not do it because that's covered on the copyright law. So look at the specific

819
00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:46.180
Bible that you're looking at. All right. All right. I'm going to share my screen here.

820
00:45:46.180 --> 00:45:52.720
I want to show you guys the copyright website. This is really important to me because, um,

821
00:45:52.720 --> 00:45:57.380
how many of you guys know that I'm not just training you this stuff because, you know,

822
00:45:57.380 --> 00:46:01.900
I want you to just kind of learn this quick. I want you to actually be able to do this.

823
00:46:01.900 --> 00:46:06.980
Like I want you to be able to, to have tools that you can utilize on your own, play around

824
00:46:06.980 --> 00:46:12.580
with this stuff on your own. Um, and even make mistakes on your own so that you can,

825
00:46:12.580 --> 00:46:17.660
you can grow because the mistakes that you'll make on a public website, as long as you don't

826
00:46:17.660 --> 00:46:25.200
press the what button, somebody right in the chat, don't press the what button. What

827
00:46:25.200 --> 00:46:32.280
button do you know? Yes. Don't push the submit button. Second, you hit that kitchen money.

828
00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:37.120
Is that that's, that's how the USPTO works. Just don't hit the submit button. All right.

829
00:46:37.120 --> 00:46:45.400
This right here is the copyright website. Okay. Can everybody see this? Okay. This site

830
00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:51.620
is very user-friendly. Go on this site, have fun, play with it, do whatever you want. It's

831
00:46:51.620 --> 00:46:57.700
very easy to use. It's a great site for you to use. Um, I would get very familiar with

832
00:46:57.700 --> 00:47:06.380
it even tonight. Um, go on it and just play around with it. So it's at copyright.gov.

833
00:47:06.380 --> 00:47:15.380
Just www.copyright.gov. Now in here, you'll see a link that says registration. See that

834
00:47:15.380 --> 00:47:21.400
I just highlighted it. When you click on that, you can select the type of work it's

835
00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:28.640
all listed here. So if you do photography, you can select photographs. If you do books,

836
00:47:28.640 --> 00:47:32.680
that's a literary work. So let's just click on literary works. Cause there's a lot of

837
00:47:32.680 --> 00:47:39.200
authors here. Once you click that, there's a great description that talks to you about

838
00:47:39.200 --> 00:47:45.220
what a literary work is, tells you how it's protectable. And then right over here on the

839
00:47:45.220 --> 00:47:52.680
left-hand side, it says register a literary work. All you gotta do is click that button

840
00:47:52.680 --> 00:47:57.580
and follow the instructions. Now there are really good videos right underneath here where

841
00:47:57.580 --> 00:48:04.460
it says resources, videos that explain to you how to file an application. Now, unlike,

842
00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:09.020
unlike a lot of government institutions where you call and then you go on hold or you call

843
00:48:09.080 --> 00:48:14.920
and it says, you know, if you're in the United States, press one, if it's Tuesday, press

844
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:22.100
two, if it's, you know, if your name starts with A through E, press nine, you know, oops,

845
00:48:22.100 --> 00:48:25.360
start over. You know, I mean, it's like, you don't have those issues with the copyright

846
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:30.420
office. It's, it's pretty easy to work with them. You call them, you go through one really

847
00:48:30.420 --> 00:48:34.360
quick thing and then you get a person, you can get some answers to your questions. All

848
00:48:34.360 --> 00:48:40.400
right. So, so if you're really lost, you can actually jump and call their, their, their

849
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:45.700
toll free number and speak to them. Now, these videos here though, are really good. I posted

850
00:48:45.700 --> 00:48:50.380
one for you last night at like two in the morning. All right. I'm working for you guys

851
00:48:50.380 --> 00:48:55.000
like day and night. Cause I want this week to be really good for all of you. Cause some

852
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:59.260
of you are not going to have, have not had any exposure to IP. So I'm really trying to

853
00:48:59.260 --> 00:49:05.160
make sure you get this and it's, it's something that's digestible. So I put in the Facebook

854
00:49:05.160 --> 00:49:14.360
group a link, that's a video on how to file a one application with multiple non-published

855
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:23.520
works. That means one fee. You can, you can file for like 20 different images with one

856
00:49:23.520 --> 00:49:30.100
application or 20 different publications, 20 different like creative works. It's all

857
00:49:30.100 --> 00:49:35.000
in that video. Just watch the video. It's very easy to follow. You just have to make

858
00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:39.120
sure that the same person is the author of all of them. And there's some other things

859
00:49:39.120 --> 00:49:43.560
that you have to, that you have to qualify for, but it takes you step-by-step what to

860
00:49:43.560 --> 00:49:49.160
do first, second, third, very easy. All right. So watch the videos here, learn how to file

861
00:49:49.160 --> 00:49:54.680
an application. And here's the beauty of it. Somebody type in a chat, how much you

862
00:49:54.680 --> 00:49:57.840
think it costs to file a copyright application.

863
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:02.400
Hold back alumni.

864
00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:07.400
50 bucks, 35 bucks, a hundred bucks, zero bucks.

865
00:50:07.400 --> 00:50:08.760
Oh, we wish.

866
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:09.920
A hundred bucks.

867
00:50:09.920 --> 00:50:10.760
It costs 60.

868
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:12.760
Oh, Teresa.

869
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:14.000
Come on, Teresa.

870
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:14.840
That's it.

871
00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:18.220
It costs $65, $65.

872
00:50:18.220 --> 00:50:20.220
Now, somebody's tapping the chat.

873
00:50:20.220 --> 00:50:24.000
How much it costs to file a trademark application?

874
00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:25.800
Do you remember that from yesterday?

875
00:50:26.860 --> 00:50:28.320
What was the cost that says through that?

876
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:29.740
Yep, 250 per class.

877
00:50:29.740 --> 00:50:30.580
Very good.

878
00:50:30.580 --> 00:50:33.140
It depends, April.

879
00:50:33.140 --> 00:50:34.380
350, that's right.

880
00:50:34.380 --> 00:50:36.140
So it's either 250 or 350,

881
00:50:36.140 --> 00:50:38.980
depending upon whether or not you decide to file.

882
00:50:38.980 --> 00:50:42.580
T's application, which we went through in detail yesterday.

883
00:50:42.580 --> 00:50:44.300
How many people were on VIP yesterday?

884
00:50:44.300 --> 00:50:45.820
Raise your hand.

885
00:50:45.820 --> 00:50:48.500
Okay, how many of you liked that application process

886
00:50:48.500 --> 00:50:49.340
that I went through?

887
00:50:49.340 --> 00:50:50.340
Did that help?

888
00:50:50.340 --> 00:50:51.180
Okay, good.

889
00:50:51.180 --> 00:50:54.180
So you understand every single part of an application

890
00:50:54.180 --> 00:50:55.980
that'll help you to be prepared

891
00:50:55.980 --> 00:50:57.300
before you work with your attorneys

892
00:50:57.300 --> 00:50:59.480
to give them a complete package.

893
00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:02.600
That should be decreasing your costs.

894
00:51:02.600 --> 00:51:04.600
If you go to your attorney and he says,

895
00:51:04.600 --> 00:51:07.240
I don't care if you give me a complete package or not,

896
00:51:07.240 --> 00:51:09.120
I'm gonna charge you the same thing.

897
00:51:09.120 --> 00:51:12.000
You say, okay, I'll use another lawyer.

898
00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:12.840
That's simple.

899
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.160
There's other lawyers out there, okay?

900
00:51:15.160 --> 00:51:16.720
If you're doing all the homework yourself,

901
00:51:16.720 --> 00:51:19.000
it should cost less money, right?

902
00:51:19.000 --> 00:51:19.840
And I'm training you

903
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:21.560
on how to get a lot of the stuff together.

904
00:51:21.560 --> 00:51:24.200
So it will decrease your costs, okay?

905
00:51:24.200 --> 00:51:25.760
All right.

906
00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:28.380
You should literally be 100X-ing what you're learning.

907
00:51:28.380 --> 00:51:30.780
You literally should be 100X-ing what you're learning here

908
00:51:30.780 --> 00:51:32.500
and what you're gonna save on legal fees.

909
00:51:32.500 --> 00:51:34.040
Let's put it that way.

910
00:51:34.040 --> 00:51:36.300
Okay, so with that,

911
00:51:36.300 --> 00:51:39.480
let me just show you one more thing on the site.

912
00:51:42.580 --> 00:51:43.660
Share screen.

913
00:51:43.660 --> 00:51:45.580
This is back to the copyright site.

914
00:51:45.580 --> 00:51:47.260
And then we'll close on this.

915
00:51:47.260 --> 00:51:48.900
Let's go back to the main screen.

916
00:51:50.540 --> 00:51:55.540
Just remember in here that if you're not sure

917
00:51:56.220 --> 00:52:01.220
what kind of work is associated with what you do,

918
00:52:03.140 --> 00:52:04.140
don't worry about it.

919
00:52:04.140 --> 00:52:08.700
Like you can go through all these one by one and just read.

920
00:52:08.700 --> 00:52:11.100
Okay, just take your time, read.

921
00:52:11.100 --> 00:52:13.060
If you're not sure, you know, all right,

922
00:52:13.060 --> 00:52:18.060
well, let's say that I was at a recital

923
00:52:19.820 --> 00:52:22.740
and I was playing an instrument and it was recorded.

924
00:52:22.740 --> 00:52:24.380
And I say, well, I don't know.

925
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:28.400
Does that fall underneath a visual work

926
00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:30.160
or is that a performing arts work?

927
00:52:30.160 --> 00:52:31.720
Or is that since it was recorded,

928
00:52:31.720 --> 00:52:34.120
is that a motion picture or is that a digital?

929
00:52:34.120 --> 00:52:37.580
If you're not sure, just click on it and read it.

930
00:52:39.200 --> 00:52:42.560
I'm telling you, you'll be amazed at how detailed this is.

931
00:52:42.560 --> 00:52:45.280
They've answered practically all questions

932
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:48.600
when it comes to trying to figure out where you fit

933
00:52:48.600 --> 00:52:49.980
in the big picture here.

934
00:52:49.980 --> 00:52:52.680
So if you go through that and you still can't figure it out,

935
00:52:52.700 --> 00:52:54.700
then obviously speak to an attorney

936
00:52:54.700 --> 00:52:55.660
and they'll help you out.

937
00:52:55.660 --> 00:52:59.540
But again, my gosh, 65 bucks.

938
00:52:59.540 --> 00:53:01.460
So if you're trying to, if you're thinking,

939
00:53:01.460 --> 00:53:04.220
well, I have like 50 different paintings,

940
00:53:04.220 --> 00:53:07.260
watch that video and see whether or not you can file them

941
00:53:07.260 --> 00:53:11.260
as a single, you know, a single application,

942
00:53:11.260 --> 00:53:12.260
see if you qualify.

943
00:53:12.260 --> 00:53:14.580
If you don't, you may want to pick the ones

944
00:53:14.580 --> 00:53:16.500
that are most important to you

945
00:53:16.500 --> 00:53:19.140
and file only for that, for those, right?

946
00:53:19.140 --> 00:53:19.980
The other thing you can do

947
00:53:19.980 --> 00:53:21.900
is there's a thing called a compilation work.

948
00:53:22.680 --> 00:53:27.680
Larissa, can you just DM me to see if I can provide a video

949
00:53:28.240 --> 00:53:30.080
on what a compilation work is?

950
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:35.120
It's a unique area of copyright law

951
00:53:35.120 --> 00:53:38.240
where there are multiple works that are kind of related

952
00:53:38.240 --> 00:53:40.280
and you file them as a compilation

953
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:42.280
and you can do it as a single filing.

954
00:53:42.280 --> 00:53:45.080
I'll see if I can find a video for you on that.

955
00:53:45.080 --> 00:53:47.360
That's going to be like maybe 5% of you

956
00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:49.120
will run into that category,

957
00:53:49.120 --> 00:53:51.520
but if it helps you, I'll give it to you.

958
00:53:52.180 --> 00:53:53.700
I just give it to you, okay?

959
00:53:53.700 --> 00:53:55.720
All right, how are you guys doing, good?

960
00:53:55.720 --> 00:53:56.980
All right, so we are five minutes,

961
00:53:56.980 --> 00:53:58.060
no, we're one minute over.

962
00:53:58.060 --> 00:54:00.140
All right, well, let's go two more minutes then.

963
00:54:00.140 --> 00:54:02.100
I'm going to take one or two questions.

964
00:54:05.260 --> 00:54:08.500
All right, let's see, let's go to Tracy.

965
00:54:12.660 --> 00:54:14.100
Which one, me?

966
00:54:14.100 --> 00:54:15.220
Yes, you, yes, go ahead.

967
00:54:15.220 --> 00:54:16.780
Okay, thank you.

968
00:54:18.220 --> 00:54:20.180
Yeah, I have a very quick question

969
00:54:20.200 --> 00:54:21.740
that should be simple.

970
00:54:23.600 --> 00:54:25.400
One thing I thought I understood

971
00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:29.760
about copyright infringement on music, songs,

972
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:31.680
was that you could kind of get away

973
00:54:31.680 --> 00:54:36.680
with around the copyright if a person or a group played,

974
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:43.480
even, I think, even the same, a similar orchestration,

975
00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:48.480
so to speak, of that, say a cover song or whatever.

976
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:52.920
You're saying that people can get away

977
00:54:52.920 --> 00:54:55.200
with copyright infringement if they play it?

978
00:54:55.200 --> 00:54:56.440
I'm not following.

979
00:54:56.440 --> 00:54:59.880
Okay, can kind of get around the copyright.

980
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:06.720
issue, if they, if you don't play the original artist, you

981
00:55:06.720 --> 00:55:14.000
have somebody else, you know, who can record it. And I'm not

982
00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:17.560
familiar with you, not refer not familiar what you're what

983
00:55:17.560 --> 00:55:21.720
you're saying, I'm not following what you're saying. But if if

984
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:28.280
Tracy created a new musical work, and Ray decides, I want to

985
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:30.720
copy it, that's copyright infringement, period. I don't

986
00:55:30.720 --> 00:55:35.720
care if she publicly does it in a in in a, in a public forum, or

987
00:55:35.720 --> 00:55:38.200
she does it in any way she does it, that's copyright

988
00:55:38.200 --> 00:55:41.280
infringement, period. Now, there are certain rights you get when

989
00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:44.840
you buy a musical work, like you get the right to play, that's

990
00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:47.720
part of the license that you get when you purchase that, that

991
00:55:47.720 --> 00:55:51.080
work, you can play it. But you cannot do that in a public

992
00:55:51.080 --> 00:55:55.120
forum, and charge admission make any financial gain, none of that

993
00:55:55.120 --> 00:55:58.920
stuff can happen. So there's you, there's certain things

994
00:55:58.920 --> 00:56:05.040
that fall under like a I don't know how many I don't want to

995
00:56:05.040 --> 00:56:08.320
get people lost here. So I'll cover this in VIP because I

996
00:56:08.600 --> 00:56:12.360
okay, I don't want a deeper area that I'm making a simple

997
00:56:12.360 --> 00:56:17.360
thing. Hard to understand. So I don't know. If somebody else

998
00:56:18.040 --> 00:56:23.880
sings, say I sing a Judy Collins song. Yeah. With the

999
00:56:26.120 --> 00:56:29.440
Okay, if you're publicly doing now, if you're singing it to

1000
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:32.040
yourself in your house, who cares? No, of course, you're

1001
00:56:32.040 --> 00:56:35.320
singing it at a party, who cares? There's no admission. If

1002
00:56:35.320 --> 00:56:37.840
you're in an audience and people are paying admission, and you're

1003
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:41.360
singing their music, that's copyright infringement. You

1004
00:56:41.360 --> 00:56:44.600
can't do that. All right. So we're gonna have to close there.

1005
00:56:45.080 --> 00:56:48.160
Jimmy, let me take your question real fast. And then that's

1006
00:56:48.160 --> 00:56:51.000
because I know you're not on VIP. So let's, let's just take

1007
00:56:51.120 --> 00:56:54.480
that real quick. Got one minute. Good.

1008
00:56:57.000 --> 00:56:58.480
Jimmy, you're muted.

1009
00:57:04.240 --> 00:57:06.600
Jimmy's demonstrating pantomime works.

1010
00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:14.080
My question was, well, the $65 copyright fee is really short

1011
00:57:14.080 --> 00:57:17.160
money. I mean, I wrote for my book, what I thought was a

1012
00:57:17.160 --> 00:57:22.120
pretty strong copyright piece inside my book. What's the

1013
00:57:22.120 --> 00:57:27.960
difference between what I wrote? And when I go and I pay $65 to

1014
00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:29.400
register my copyright?

1015
00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:33.000
There's no difference. There's no difference in your work. What

1016
00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:36.440
the difference is, is when you go to enforce your work, you're

1017
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:39.160
copyrighted against another party. If you have a federal

1018
00:57:39.160 --> 00:57:42.760
registration, you're guaranteed statutory damages guaranteed.

1019
00:57:43.120 --> 00:57:46.480
You don't even have to go through a whole phase of trying

1020
00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:49.480
to prove degrees of infringement and things. It's

1021
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:54.120
guaranteed. So you are in the realm of you stepped out of the

1022
00:57:54.120 --> 00:57:59.760
realm of spending 10s of 1000s, if not more of dollars trying to

1023
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.720
come out with the exact dollar amount that should be associated

1024
00:58:02.720 --> 00:58:06.120
with a infringement, and you're guaranteed x amount per

1025
00:58:06.120 --> 00:58:09.520
infringement, you just went way up way up on the scale. The

1026
00:58:09.520 --> 00:58:13.240
other thing is, it also gives you a document from the

1027
00:58:13.240 --> 00:58:16.880
government that says that you have a right. There's a lot of

1028
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:22.240
power to that. In in like the visuals. If I say to you, Jimmy,

1029
00:58:22.560 --> 00:58:25.120
you're copying my book, I want you to stop. You're like, Yeah,

1030
00:58:25.120 --> 00:58:28.320
yeah. Okay, I'm copying your book. Got it. If I send you a

1031
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:32.120
government document that says, I have a federal registration for

1032
00:58:32.120 --> 00:58:35.960
my book, and you get that it has way more weight, it's gonna have

1033
00:58:35.960 --> 00:58:41.480
a much different effect on you mentally. Right now. Yeah. So

1034
00:58:41.480 --> 00:58:43.640
when you're going to get to a point of actually enforcing

1035
00:58:43.640 --> 00:58:47.360
something, I always tell people, go and file your copyright. It's

1036
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:51.560
even better. If you actually file it before you publish, you

1037
00:58:51.560 --> 00:58:55.200
know, because then you're then you've got the damages like

1038
00:58:55.240 --> 00:58:59.400
sealed, like you're all set. But if somebody infringes, and then

1039
00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:03.040
you go to come after them, and you've you file for federal

1040
00:59:03.040 --> 00:59:05.800
registration, they've been printing for three years, you're

1041
00:59:05.800 --> 00:59:07.960
not going to get statutory damages for the past three

1042
00:59:07.960 --> 00:59:10.360
years, because you didn't have a federal registration. So you're

1043
00:59:10.360 --> 00:59:12.640
gonna have to prove your damages and all sorts of other

1044
00:59:12.640 --> 00:59:17.680
garbage, trying to build up a case for that, that pastime,

1045
00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:21.320
because you didn't spend 65 bucks, right? That's a no

1046
00:59:21.320 --> 00:59:23.720
brainer. When it comes to me, I'm like, that's a no brainer.

1047
00:59:23.800 --> 00:59:26.640
I've got one book, I'm gonna sell it on eBay, maybe I'm

1048
00:59:26.640 --> 00:59:34.080
selling at 495 or 4995, whatever it is. 65 bucks, just do it. And

1049
00:59:34.080 --> 00:59:36.880
with that, I'm going to close everyone because in eight

1050
00:59:36.880 --> 00:59:41.360
minutes, we got to go into VIP. Everybody be here tomorrow. I've

1051
00:59:41.360 --> 00:59:44.520
got something for you that is going to make your life a lot

1052
00:59:44.720 --> 00:59:48.080
easier. It's going to make things work. Well, Larissa has

1053
00:59:48.080 --> 00:59:51.760
a point I see her reaching doing pantomime things as well.
