Numly Features Spicy Cauldron
Numly's latest Author of the Week award goes to Spicy Cauldron! View his N-Page and check out his works!
Numly Now Does the Two Step
Numly, the Web 2.0 Registrar, now supports Numly Number generation prior to digital asset uploads. This enhancement now allows authors, artists, and musicians to get the ESN in advance and then embed it into their digital works as a licensee registration prior to upload.
Steps:
1) You will need to register your Numly Number via the web portal.
2) Click on Generate ESN and then on Upload Digital Asset.
3) Fill out all of the meta data info on this page but do not select your MP3 file.
4) It will return your Numly Number and at the bottom of the page it will ask you to upload your digital asset.
5) Do so now and it will generate a digital fingerprint for your upload and attach it to your ESN on file.
That's it!

Numly Releases BookFob
What is a bookfob? It's Numly's latest invention! It's an e-book on a keychain. But wait, there's more to it than that...
It looks like a memory stick but it includes the e-book reader built into the fob with your content. What's a fob? Definition: Fob (noun) - An ornament or seal attached to a key chain or ribbon.
No worries about someone copying your content and distributing it. The reader is based on HTML and supports text, images, and multi-media. It also does not allow copy and paste functions or printing or distribution!
The e-book cannot be copied or distributed. The e-book is compiled with a Numly Number that is hardware aware. The e-book cannot be opened without the matching memory stick.
Now authors and artists can sell or distribute their digital works without the fear of mass distribution over the Internet! Visit http://www.bookfob.com or http://www.numly.com for more information.

Why Does the US Copyright Office Exist?
After reading the Copyright Office’s proposed fees restructuring proposal, one starts to wonder how they could be operating at a loss in the first place. Current fees ranging from $10 - $100 per filing are being raised to $20 - $220. That’s more than double what they are today, which still sounds steep to me.
Knowing many authors and artists personally, I continuously hear that they can’t afford to file a copyright claim at copyright.gov for everything that they write. This lead me to google what other countries are doing for copyright filing. I stumbled on the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works wiki. The section below peaked my interest especially the bolded text:
“The United States refused initially to become a party to the Convention, since it would have required major changes in its copyright law (particularly with regard to moral rights, removal of general requirement for registration of copyright works as well as elimination of mandatory copyright notice). On March 1, 1989, the US "Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988" came into force and the United States became a party to the Berne Convention.”
This got me thinking. Why does the US Copyright Office exist? Other countries don’t seem to have or need comparable offices in their governments. Do they? I understand why the office existed prior to the US "Berne Convention Implementation Act of 1988", but why now? Documents are considered copyrighted when written - not filed.
The only issue apparently is proving who wrote what when. Here is where Numly comes in!
Numly.com assigns Numly Numbers (Electronic Serial Numbers / ESNs) for all things digital. These unique identifiers provide digital rights management capabilities as well as third-party, non-repudiation measures for proof of copyright via real-time verifications. Numly Numbers are simple to generate and act as an electronic time stamp for copright purposes. They also allow you to track content viewership, monitor ratings, and can be used as permalinks!

Poor Man's Copyright 2.0
Wikipedia defines the poor man's copyright (PMC) as "the method of using registered dating by the postal service or a notary public to date intellectual property, thereby helping to establish that the material has been in one's possession since a particular time."
There are many reasons while the PMC doesn't hold up in court but probably the most frequently cited reason is that it is too easy to fraud. You can send yourself an empty letter (unsealed envelope) and receive a postmark. Upon receipt or at a later date you can put anything inside the envelope and then seal it.
Numly can help but you need access to a computer with Internet access! Authors and artists can now upload their digital works to Numly and receive a registered Numly Number in exchange. Their digital works are date and time stamped in Numly's databases. The content is digitally fingerprinted for future reference and verification. Numly Numbers can be posted online along with the digital asset. The Numly Number serves as your copyright disclaimer and can be verified by anyone wiching to learn more about the author, publisher, copyright license, licensee, and timestamp. Viewership (including IP addresses) is also tracked for your reporting needs.
