Terms

Last updated November 13, 2026

The short version: you tell us about your work. We prepare your copyright filing, with the right filing type and the answer for every box. You file it yourself on the U.S. Copyright Office website and pay its fee there. We are not a law firm, and we cannot promise the Office will approve it.

Who we are

Copyright Man is run by SHORE AI LLC, based in Malibu, California ("we", "us"). You can reach us at info@copyrightman.com. By using the site you agree to these terms.

What the service is

You answer questions about a work you created or own. The site picks the type of U.S. copyright application your answers call for and shows you the Copyright Office's fee for it. After you pay us, you get a filing packet: the steps of the Copyright Office's online form, in order, with the answer for each box. You file the application yourself, from your own account on the Copyright Office website, pay the government fee there, and upload a copy of your work there.

We prepare, you file

We do not file anything for you, we do not sign anything for you, and we do not act as your agent. You submit the application, you certify that it is true, and the Copyright Office writes to you about it. Please check every answer against your own facts before you submit.

Not legal advice

Copyright Man is not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice. We do not tell you whether your work can be protected, whether someone has copied it, or what you should do about it. We prepare the application your answers call for. If a lot is at stake, consider talking to an attorney.

What you promise

• You are the author or owner of the work, or you are allowed to file for the owner.
• Everything you tell us is true and complete to the best of your knowledge. Knowingly giving false information on a copyright application is against federal law.
• You have told us about any part of the work that was made by AI, made by someone else, or published before.

Work made by AI

The Copyright Office registers only what a person created. We do not sell a packet for a work made entirely by AI. If AI made part of your work, your packet uses the Standard Application and lists the AI-made parts to be left out of the claim, as the Office requires.

No promise of registration, and timing

The Copyright Office decides whether to register a work. We cannot promise that it will, or how long it will take. Its review usually takes a few months and sometimes longer. If it registers the work, it mails the certificate to the address on the application. If it has a question, it writes to you.

Price and refunds

Our price is shown before you pay, and it covers the filing packet only. The U.S. Copyright Office's filing fee is separate. You pay it to the Office when you file. Government fees are set by the Copyright Office, can change, and are not refundable by the Office once you submit. If something is wrong with your packet because of a mistake on our side, write to us and we will fix it or refund you.

Physical copies

If your work was published as physical copies, such as printed books, CDs or DVDs, the Copyright Office may require copies to be mailed to it. Its website gives you the shipping slip. The copies and the postage are your cost.

Your filing packet

We keep your packet behind a private link for one year after you pay, and then permanently delete it. You can download it as a PDF before then. Your copyright filing itself is a public record kept by the U.S. government and is not affected when we delete your packet.

What we do not do

We do not file for you. We do not prepare trademarks or patents. We do not prepare filings for software, or for names, titles, slogans, logos or ideas. We do not search for or act against people who copy your work.

Acceptable use

Please do not use the site to prepare a filing for work that is not yours, to overload the site, or to break the law. We may refuse or cancel an order that looks like abuse, and refund it.

Gift codes

A gift code from aiegift.com can pay all or part of the price. Its terms are on that site.

Liability

The service is provided as is. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, and our total responsibility for any claim is limited to what you paid us for the order. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California.
