Can I post an online a summary of a book without copyright infringement?
U.S. perspective: this would be copyright infringement if it weren't for the Fair Use exception to copyright infringement.Discussion of the characters and events in the book are sufficient grounds to sue, although Fair Use means the author would not win the case.Be aware that Fair Use has specific rules on what uses count, but a book synopsis fits within those rules.
How do I write a published book based off an app without copyright?
Copyright protects creative works from unauthorised reproduction; it doesn’t prohibit the creation of new works about them. You can write a book about a game, just like you can write a book about anything else. You can even include pictures of the game, whether screenshots or your own artwork based on the characters.We do this all the time in the magazine industry. Sometimes we work with game publishers to produce “official” titles. Other times we just write articles about various games and publish them, without seeking anyone’s permission. That’s a normal use of the freedom of expression that exists in most countries.Where you need to be careful is if you market your book commercially (whether by charging a cover price or for any other kind of remuneration) and its relation to the game becomes a selling point. If you used the name of the game to sell your book, the game’s owner might – it’s complicated, but might – have a cause of action against you for ‘passing off’. Similarly, you might get into legal difficulties if you used game artwork on your cover; or if the entire book consisted mostly of stuff ripped directly from the game, rather than your own work. But it doesn’t sound as if that’s what you have in mind.Whether or not your project is commercial, one other area of concern is defamation and personality rights. Take care not to imply that your book is connected to or approved by the makers of the game, or to associate the game with anything potentially objectionable. (If you want to associate it with something potentially objectionable, that’s not necessarily actionable, but it’s a cause for concern.)tl;dr: Where copyright and trade mark protections exist, you can’t get around them by crediting the rights owner; you have to get their permission. But these protections probably don’t apply to what you want to do here.I have considerable professional experience in this area (in the UK; your country may vary), but I’m not a lawyer and the above is not legal advice.
How can we avoid a copyright issue in writing an educational book?
1. Read about copyright. You need to understand what “fair use” is and how to tell when a work goes out of copyright.http://www.templetons.com/brad/c....https://blog.reedsy.com/how-to-c...2. Keep a word count of the material you’re quoting so that you’ll know whether you need to obtain a license. The rule-of-thumb (not a legal standard!) is less than 5% or 450 words, whichever is smaller.3. If you do need to obtain permission, start early. Sometimes it’s hard to track down the copyright holder.4. Librarians are familiar with copyright issues and can be helpful.
Do I need a copyright to sell my e-book on Amazon?
As others have noted, a copyright on your work is automatic. You want to have a copyright notice at the start of your book. At the very least, include a Copyright Page immediately after the Title Page of your book. I recommend something at least such as this:Copyright ©2018 PUBLISHER OR AUTHOR NAME HERE. All rights reserved.No portion of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, stored in, or introduced into a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means (electronically, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise), except as permitted under Sections 107 or 108 of the 1976 United States Copyright Act, without the prior written permission of both the copyright owner and the publisher of this book.A smart idea is to look at top selling books in your genre to see how others have done this. In my book, I also included a more lengthy copyright section at the back of the book to both protect my copyright and indemnify me.While you typically don’t need a copyright for your book, you do need an ISBN for selling your published work in bookstores and online.In addition, Amazon also uses a proprietary identifier called an Amazon Standard Identification Number, or ASIN. You can find out more about this here: How to Get an Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN).Note: In many cases, an ISBN is optional for ebooks sold on the Amazon Kindle Store, although I do highly recommend it. The best source I have found for an ISBN is Bowker, the official ISBN agency in the United States. You can learn more about Bowker and its ISBN services here: www.bowker.com - AuthorsI hope this will help you. Best of luck!
How do you copyright poetry?
I can't speak for the whole world, but at least in the US, you hold the copyright to anything you write as soon as you write it. To reinforce this you can always put' ©YOUR NAME' at the end, but it is implied.That being said, the main thing about a copyright is being able to prove you hold it. Let’s say you write a poem on a napkin at a restaurant and then forget it. Someone else comes across the napkin and posts it on Facebook as their own that same night.The poem is so good they gain noteriety and a book deal (or whatever) . They have buckets of money due to your work. Years later you come across your poem being attributed to this other guy and he is rich because of it. So you sue him for using your poem and cheating you.When you get to court you have to prove that you wrote it first. Even if you had the napkin, there would be no way to date it. Furthermore even if you remembered and emailed the poem to yourself the next morning, the other guy has a post from the previous night. His claim and proof predates yours so you are out of luck.So better than assuming copyright you can email your poem to yourself or put it on a site like writerscafe.org so you have a digital paper trail proving your ownership.Worried about publishers throwing a hissy fit about the poem being posted online and not wanting to publish it in their magazine? Sites like WritersCafe.org often have the option to make a poem unpublished or private so you get all the perks of online proof of ownership without giving the world your poetry for free.Hope this helps!

Is reviewing a book considered a copyright violation?
Of course not. Copyright is held by the person who authored or created the work. If you write a review, YOU are the holder of the copyright on what you wrote in that review. What you write (assuming it’s entirely your words) is entirely your creative work and it carries its own copyright, completely unrelated to the copyright of the book’s author.Now, if you end up using quotes or images from that book in your review to illustrate, explain, or give examples as an integral part of your criticism &/or comments in the review, that use is one of the very reasons the copyright law in the U.S. was developed in the first place: To provide a means for authors and inventors to profit from their works while still facilitating criticism and commentary to further the progress of science and discovery.[1]Thus the copyright law in the U.S. specifically and explicitly encourages criticism and commentary, and reviewing a book would be a perfect example of that encouraged use.Footnotes[1] U.S. Copyright Office - Copyright Law: Preface
How do I write articles and avoid copyright infringement?
Copyright always exists for an expression and not an idea. Moreover, there is no copyright on facts. Let’s say you write that there are 1000 calories in a cheeseburger. There is no copyright on this fact and therefore no copyright infringement.Similarly, if you gather information from different sources on the internet and then write it in your own words, that is not infringement. This is because you are expressing the information in your words which is a unique expression of your own.
