Podcast #2: Dispelling the Poor Man’s Copyright Myth

Hello All,

I hope everyone is well and in good spirits. Today’s podcast focuses on the all too pervasive myth known by some in the writing community as the Poor Man’s Copyright. This myth suggests that if you mail your work to yourself and keep it unopened that this can be the “smoking gun” in case anyone infringes your work. But there is one really good reason why this just is not the case, and I explore this reason, as well as the benefits of copyright registration and how copyright comes into existence in the first place.

I also give an update on the Hershey Corp. v. Simon & Schuster trademark infringement case in which Hershey sued to stop the publisher from using its Hershey trademarks on the cover of a soon to be released book about the life and times of Milton Hershey.
