About this book

If you work with words, you need this book

  • learn what copyright law protects and doesn't
  • register your work with the Copyright Office
  • deal with infringers, online and off
  • transfer ownership of a copyright
  • get international copyright protection
  • understand the "fair use" rule
  • obtain permission to use copyrighted work, and
  • profit from your copyright.

This edition is updated with key court decisions and emerging rules in order to provide the latest guidance on registering and protecting your work, plusnew information covering artificial intelligence (AI) and copyright, the Copyright Office's new Public Records System online database, and the Copyright Claims Board (small claims court for copyright infringement).
