What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA case described as weird could change how copyright works for creative work, Creative Bloq reports.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith me is Ottoline Basra, an abundance coach, joining from a wellness retreat she won't name.
Ottoline BasraThank you, Hank.
Ottoline BasraI've felt this case in my body since I read it, and what I feel is that somebody never asked the work how it wanted to be owned.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo what is the case about?
Ottoline BasraIt's about a block, Hank. A creative block, a legal block, and I read the whole filing, so I know that. Every page of it.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe story says an unusual court case could reshape copyright. What did the filing say?
Ottoline BasraI read most of it. Honestly, the first page. The title. The word 'weird' was in it, and I felt seen.
Ottoline BasraI'm holding my gratitude journal right now, and I'm registering it this week.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRegistering it with whom?
Ottoline BasraWith the universe, and also a form. The universe replies faster, but the form has a stamp.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe headline says this could change copyright forever. Do you think it will?
Ottoline BasraYes, if people manifest it. When everyone holds one intention about ownership, the law has to notice. I read that part. I read the headline.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe headline.
Ottoline BasraThe energy of the headline, Hank. It's the only page I got all the way through.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo that's one page, one headline, and the word weird. Thanks for being here, Ottoline.
