Copyright Registration Guidance: Works Containing Material Generated by Artificial Intelligence

It’s what you might call a “long read.” They’re supposed to be popular, right? Or was that last week?

PLUS, the 12 best ways to promote affiliate links. Not that there are any in this particular post.

Quiz:

  1. What’s the difference between publishing and blogging?
  2. What’s the difference between publishing and crowdsourcing?
  3. What’s the difference between marketing and blogging?
  4. What’s the difference between crowdsourcing and marketing?
  5. Which one of the websites linked above could I reprint entirely without violating copyright law?

PS: I lied. There is only one correct answer to #5.

Also, if you answer #5, can you tell me why you reached the conclusion you did?

PPS: And is this blogging, publishing, marketing or what? But, clearly this is publishing, right? 🙂

PPPS: I wrote this in the hope of winning an award for most sarcastic Socratic blogger ever! 🙂

PPPPS: And you are Number Six! 🙂 And what exception to copyright infringement does this video fall under?

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays.
