Copyright Education and Copyright Literacy

We actively support and encourage copyright literacy within the independent publishing community. Copyright literacy includes the knowledge, skills, and ethical practices required to navigate the complex landscape of intellectual property rights. We offer comprehensive presentations and workshops tailored for writers, authors, indie publishers, and other creative professionals. Our particular expertise is on the copyrightability of works that utilized artificial intelligence during their creation.
