Copyright Policy | No More Funny Business

The Copy Whisperer, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website nomorefunnybusiness.com (the “Site”) and the “No More Funny Business” online course (the “Course”) to do the same. This Copyright Policy outlines our approach to copyrighted material, including our use of third-party content under the doctrine of Fair Use, and provides the procedure for copyright holders to report alleged infringement. This policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Service https://nomorefunnybusiness.com/terms-of-service)

Our Intellectual Property As stated in our Terms of Service, the Course content created by the Company, including text, graphics, videos, audio, logos, trademarks (the “Marks”), and the overall structure and design of the Site and Course (collectively, the “Company Content”), are owned by or licensed to The Copy Whisperer, LLC and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
Use of Third-Party Materials & Fair Use The “No More Funny Business” Course is designed for educational purposes, specifically teaching principles and techniques related to using humor in marketing and copywriting. To effectively achieve this educational goal, the Course may incorporate limited excerpts of copyrighted material belonging to third parties. This may include, but is not limited to, short video clips from television shows, films, or advertisements; brief audio clips; or images used to illustrate specific concepts, provide examples for commentary and critique, or serve as a basis for discussion and learning. Our use of such third-party materials is intended to fall within the doctrine of “Fair Use” as defined in Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 107) and similar principles under international law. Our Fair Use determination is based on factors including: (a) Purpose and Character of the Use: The use is primarily for non-profit educational purposes, teaching, commentary, criticism, and illustration within a structured learning environment. The use is transformative, employing the material in a new context to teach marketing and humor principles, rather than merely reproducing the original work. (b) Nature of the Copyrighted Work: We acknowledge that the original works (e.g., TV shows, films) are often creative in nature. However, the educational context of our use is a key factor. (c) Amount and Substantiality of the Portion Used: We strive to use only the minimal amount of the copyrighted work necessary to effectively illustrate the educational point or serve as a basis for commentary. Clips are typically short and represent a small fraction of the original work. (d) Effect of the Use Upon the Potential Market for or Value of the Copyrighted Work: Our use is not intended to, nor is it likely to, serve as a substitute for the original work or harm the market for it. The Course targets a different audience (those seeking marketing education) and the excerpts used do not replace the experience of viewing the original content in its entirety. The Company does not claim ownership of any third-party copyrighted material included under the Fair Use doctrine. All trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress, product names, and logos appearing within such third-party materials are the property of their respective owners. The inclusion of these excerpts does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with the copyright or trademark owners.
User Obligations As detailed in our Terms of Service, users are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Course Content solely for their personal learning and internal business purposes related to improving their marketing efforts. Users are strictly prohibited from copying, reproducing, distributing, transmitting, broadcasting, displaying, selling, licensing, modifying, creating derivative works from, or otherwise exploiting any part of the Course Content, including any embedded third-party materials, for any purpose other than their personal educational use as intended by the Course, without our prior written consent or as expressly permitted by law.
