Article Overview: There is considerable confusion among people in the Human Resources Development field regarding what is copyright protected and what is not – that little “c in a circle” (©). Many experienced trainers end up collecting lots of materials over the years and draw upon this when designing new courses. Using some of this “stuff” may not be such as good idea if the © applies.

Newsflash: HR Training Professional Struggles with the “C in a Circle”
There is considerable confusion among people in the Human Resources
Development field regarding what is copyright protected and what is not –
that little “c in a circle” (©). Many experienced trainers end up
collecting lots of materials over the years and draw upon this when
designing new courses. Using some of this “stuff” may not be such as
good idea if the © applies.
So what is the legal position here? Don’t take this as legal advice
folks – we are not legal eagles; however, the short answer is that the
Copyright Act of 1976 generally applies. Copyright grants certain
rights to authors and others who create original works. Section 102 of
the act extends this protection to “original works of authorship fixed
in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from
which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated,
either directly for with the aid of a machine or device.” Yes, this
means a photocopier.
Copyright grants the copyright holder exclusive rights to the
following six specific categories of activities:
- The right to duplicate /reproduce the work
- The right to create derivative works based on the original
- The right to sell lease or rent copies of the work to the public
- The right to perform the work publicly
- The right to display the work publicly
- The right to digital performance in sound recording
- Employees who generate the work in the course of their normal employment
- Consultants or independent contractors who are hired by a company

Budget.
- I believe the biggest barrier is related to budget.
Training tends to be a normal practice for a big company.
But I have to consider it seriously as an entrepreneur.
Re: Auto-DM's on Twitter
- dallasberry -- are you using the Professional version of SocialOomph to get those features? Or maybe I just haven't found it in the free version yet.
Facebook and Business
- While on the Elevator today I read that MySpace and Facebook are surpassing adult-sites in traffic volumes - just thought that was interesting fact.
As far as your business is concerned I think that having a Facebook account is viable as long as you keep it business and the most important thing to increase your traffic would be to link up with people well-known in your business-circle. e.g. if your were in the Marketing Business Circle I would link up with people like Dan Kennedy, Mike Filsame, Yanik Silver etc.
People linked up with them will now start pouring into your content.
Dan Kennedy
- I was in the Glazer Kennedy Inner Circle and have over 20 years
of direct mail experience both as a list broker, copywriter and strategist from the old school, before the internet.
Don't forget that the internet is just one way to market. A good
list broker can help you tremendously analyze your market and
pick the right "response" list that works.
The internet and pay per click is a great place to test headline
and copy to see if there is a market for your product. Then use
what works offline as well.
Dan's methods work. Host/Beneficiary is actually a Jay Abraham
term I believe.
