    I have an issue with proof of copyright and rights to my own material. They are requesting a chain of rights which according to blacks Law relates to a piece of land and commercial paper. Is there an affidavit available as a statement to the effect of ownership. I have looked through the Solutions To Problems & Self Empowerment book from Mark that I bought, but I can’t see anything that I can adapt. I could use registered mail and mail to myself I believe, but manuscripts are long documents and I have a lot of them all in an e format. Any ideas on how to prove title without a chain of rights? Thanks

    Make sure you write an affidavit with evidence as exhibits, you can put the copyright on your documents and sending them by mail to yourself is an excellent way to do it and make sure you don’t open the envelopes unless you are in court in front of witnesses. Use a certificate of mailing so you have a second witness and keep a photocopy of it in your possession so you have proof of what is in the envelope. Here’s a Q and A with a service we used to pay for a copyright process.

    Thanks Morag very helpful.

    The issue with manuscripts and postage is that there are a lot of pages for 5 books. I suppose a memory stick may suffice.

    You have addressed the living man and legal fictional entity nicely. Under common law, copyright is established the moment that someone writes. From further research, the only advantage of “registering copyright” is that I become entitled to legal fees should I need to enforce copyright. I am not keen on this. However, from reading it would seem to suggest claiming the name (and all derivations) could be done in addition to my intellectual property. The issue for me is getting these large distribution platforms to accept documentation. In their system box tick not in their system not happy. If they say not acceptable, they just kick you off the platform. It’s pretty draconian.

    I had been wondering about copyrighting my name too and this is very helpful as we both know about the trick to enter commerce with two corporations.

    I would be curious to know any successes having done this. To flip the position of trustee to beneficiary would be very useful.

    I have been using the three notice and show me the evidence to very good effect at getting rid of unwanted parties. They just go away.

    Thanks I use that and the “by” too. It’s a great topic and topical pardon the pun. The issue is most of this is online with these platforms surprise surprise they don’t allow crossing out…..Its take it or leave it and we will just cancel you if we want and what are you going to do about it. Once I understood offer and acceptance and consent it has literally changed my life. I bought lots of stuff from Mark and the three day 3 seminar video in the UK years ago is great. Three notices plus other bits I put in there works a treat. I have yet to use affidavits as it is the wording I struggle with not the concept and finding the right one “affidavit of and then…. what. I am not a cut and paste person I like to comprehend.

      When these companies say take it or leave it, we have to learn how to leave it and find another platform or start to create platforms of our own as Mark has done here. That is the power we have, they have no power over us that we don’t hand over to them, under duress or not. We need to start working out ways of coming together to pool our resources as people like Dean Clifford in Canada has done. He has some great videos out there under the name of Wolverdean. Here’s a link. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wolverdean

      We also have to realise that one of the maxims of equity is ‘equity will not aid a volunteer’ and it is talking about these contracts we willingly sign on to. If we claim we signed under duress we would have to have evidence for that and most of the time we just acquiesce to their position without questioning them at all, therefore how can we claim duress? If we can’t claim duress then it will be seen as us voluntarily performing.
