    AI copyright?

    I used AI to answer the question: 'In UK copyright law, a "derived work" is a new work based on an existing copyrighted work. It requires permission from the original copyright holder to create, unless it falls under fair dealing exceptions. The derivative work itself can also be copyrighted...

    Are you using Artificial Intelligence in your business yet?

    Old cherry! Commercial use of FREE images?

    M'lud, I submit to photo libraries and would mark "editorial only" on images of things that belong to someone else (unless I get a property release from the owner). So if I submitted a bank branch photo I wouldn't want that used in an advert for a rival bank for example. However, if the local...

    Trademark bullying

    You might like story of T-Mobile trademarking the colour magenta: "You're talking about the one of the three ink cartridges in every printer in the world. The idea that a company can trademark it and own it, just defied belief and I was in a state of disbelief."...

    Any recommendations for print-on-demand service?

    I forgot about bookvault.app. It's a British company and offers more binding styles, paper choices and page sizes than most other POD suppliers. I've done one book with them in paperback and hardback editions and the result is very good. There is a setup fee but it's only £20.

    Any recommendations for print-on-demand service?

    Amazon's KDP service is very good. Free to setup a book and they will provide a free ISBN. You need to have the files for text and cover properly prepared as they won't give help. It is worth paying an experienced book designer to do this for you. Amazon will sell and distribute the books for...

    Do you encourage your team to use ChatGPT?

    My post was deleted as "We don't allow unquoted AI content without purpose." To all humans it would be clear that my reply was generated by ChatGPT and the purpose was to show how naff it was. Perhaps the moderator is an AI bot as well.

    Commercial property lease - potential costs and pitfalls?

    Can't you ask your landlord to insure/repair if you are improving the site with an office? Or conversely get the landlord to build the office. Try to avoid paying the landlord's legal fees: most people expect to do it (and many here will tell you it's 'normal') but try to negotiate out of...

    Just get a stock photo -- you can probably find a free one. Nearly all those businesses with smiley call centre staff use stock photos.

    Trade Print Suppliers

    I use Printed.com, not as a trade printer but I'm pretty sure that they can act as one though. Good quality and fast turnarounds.

    What do you want from Boris Johnson's successor?

    Yes. I'm old enough to remember the nationalized ones.

    What do you want from Boris Johnson's successor?

    The best way to sort many of those things out is to remove government's involvement. Police and defence need government control; the rest could be given to the private sector to work out.

    What do you want from Boris Johnson's successor?

    Scrap VAT, reduce and simplify taxes, change benefit system to encourage working. Once that's done, leave us alone.
