 their choosing. Other features like virtual receptionist and virtual extensions make it easy to set up a virtual office of remote workers, while Ooma also comes with many of the features you would expect if you are working out of an office.
Is videoconferencing included?
As many people have discovered while working remotely, it is still important to have face time with coworkers and to be able to collaborate in real time. As such, videoconferencing has become an important tool in doing business. While there are many videoconferencing platforms available these days, a better choice is one that is integrated into your phone system—and that doesn’t cost extra! Ooma Office Pro comes with Ooma Meetings, a robust, user-friendly videoconferencing platform that can be accessed via the desktop app and via any web browser once a meeting is set up. It’s a great tool for collaboration, allowing up to 25 users to share their desktop screens, and is capable of supporting ad hoc instant meetings and scheduling meetings in advance. It also has chat and mute functions and the option to password-protect your meetings.
Is there a mobile or desktop app?
While you may be shopping for a phone system, these days you should expect to be able to connect to other devices besides the phone on your desk. Ooma Office Pro comes with a desktop app that lets you make and take calls right your computer. It also has text messaging and allows you to set up groups for collaboration via text. The mobile app, which comes with both Ooma Office and Ooma Office Pro, has the same capabilities and lets you take your office phone with you wherever you go.
Is it expandable if I hire more employees?
As a small business owner, one of your goals is to have your business grow. So hopefully in the future, you will have more employees that will need to use your phone system. Because Ooma Office isn’t bound by hardware, it is easily expandable as your business grows. And with pricing based on the number of users, you won’t pay for more than you need.
With all the changes in how we do business over the last year, your phone system is more important than ever. Ooma offers a feature-rich solution that is also very affordable. Ooma Office starts at $19.95 per user and includes more than 35 features, while Ooma Office Pro is just $5 more and also includes videoconferencing and the desktop app, as well as call recording and voicemail transcription. Best of all, Ooma’s system is very easy to set up yourself, so you’ll be up and running in no time.

I am NOT A LAWYER and have no basis to give you legal advice from this website that you can deem safe to use in a court of law. The information and links that you find below are for you to choose whether you wish to acknowledge as correct or not. ================================================================Why do I need to protect or register the copyrights on my poems and poetry?In this Internet age, we can all publish our work instantly and globally with a few keystrokes. Songs and poetry on MySpace, pictures on FACEBOOK...
While in theory, your poems are copyright protected the moment pen hits paper, or more recently, data hits disc, you still must be able to credibly prove when that happened...
AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CREATE THIS EVIDENCE BEFORE YOU PUBLISH YOUR WORK ANYWHERE!!!================================================================
HOW TO COPY RIGHT A POEM-------------------------------------.
A Direct Link To The Libray of Congress
For more information, see Brad Templeton's A Brief Intro to Copyright.
Instructions
Things You'll Need:2 envelopes 2 postage stamps Copy of poem Pen Step 1Request a copyright application by calling the U.S. Copyright Office, (202) 707-3000, or write to U.S. Copyright Office, 101 Independence Ave. S.E. Washington, D.C. 20559-6000. The forms can also be obtained at its website.
Step 2Make a photocopy of the poem you wish to copyright.
Step 3Prepare a check for a $45 payment.
Step 4Complete the copyright application.
Step 5Mail the application, a copy of your poem and the payment, to the return address specified in the copyright registration application form. you read poetry or write poetry, you need to understand the basics of how copyrights work. A copyright protects the rights of the poet who put his or her labor into creating this work of art.
First off, a copyright exists AS SOON AS YOU CREATE YOUR WORK. There is no need to register a copyright with any office, or to label your work in any special way. You don't have to put a copyright symbol on it. Once you have finished typing your work, or putting it on your website, or however you choose to use it, it is yours and it belongs to you. You hold the copyright.
The only reason a poet would need to REGISTER the copyright is if the owner wished to file a lawsuit against someone else regarding the work. That way the rightful owner now has it on record that he or she went through the steps to prove the work belongs to him or her.
Some people believe a "poor man's coypright" exists where you mail yourself your work. This is an urban legend. You always own your own copyright. If you wish to take legal action against someone else, you have to legally file your copyright papers first. Those are really the only two situations that exist.
Works created after 1987 are owned by the author and his/her estate for a full 70 years after the author's death. Works before then started with a copyright length of 28 years from publication, and then could be renewed from anywhere from another 28 years to another 67 years, depending what year the item was published in.
A general rule of thumb is that works before 1987 were protected for around 100 years from publication date. Any old poetry published more than 100 years ago can be put onto websites and used. Since the minimum before 1987 was 28 years from publication date, any poetry written after 1975 is definitely under copyright! And pretty much anything written since 1903 is most likely still under copyright. This includes song lyrics. ================================================================
Answer.
Another answer In many countries a creative work is protected by copyright from the moment it is first written down. In the United States, this is also true, but you will need to register your copyright before you can effectively enforce it. In fact, there are other valuable reasons to register it immediately after you first publish it. There are simple forms to file and moderate fees involved, so you should consider registration for any valuable works.
Sending yourself a copy in the mail (unlike registration) does not notify the world of your ownership so that people can contact you for a distribution license or commission additional works. :-)
**I would also, add a hair from your head in there, and get your fingerprints all over it.Also scotch tape all corners.**
Here is a link that describes this process in great detail: COPYSCAPE:
Cop online. Copyscape provides a free service for finding copies of your web pages online, as well as two more powerful professional solutions for preventing content theft and content fraud:
HERE IS THE LINK: TURN IT IN
Turnitin’s Originality Checking ensures originality, as well as use of proper citation. METHODS OF EVIDENCE
This is the most important:Handwriting identification is based on the principle that, while handwriting within a language tends to be alike to the degree that we can meaningfully read it, there are individual features that distinguish one person's writing from that of another.
So Keep your Poems in a journal, and in a safe place...
1. SAVE TO DISC/FLOPPY/EXTERNAL DRIVE
There is a date on files saved, so keep a copy
2. POST POEMS WITH SAME NAME ON OTHER SITESGet the words out
3. CREATE A VIDEO WITH BUYING A NEW NEWSPAPER(LOL)
4. LOCAL IN YOUR AREA GET YOUR SELF KNOWN AS A POETHave lots and lots of Character witnesses
5. HIDE YOUR POEMS IN ATTICS WITH YOUR NAME & DATE ON ITThis will cause arguements for people in the future that have nothing better to do
6. JURASIC PARK METHODEmbed your poem is sapp================================================================COPYRIGHT IN A COLLABORITIVE AGE IS PLAGIARISM?Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" meansto)
All of this info is from: IS A CENTO?Latin centō, patchwork.In poetry, a cento is a work wholly composed of verses or passages taken from other authors; only disposed in a new form or order.But credits are do to the original author.
=============================================================== Are YOU infringing copyright?Remember: falling foul of thievery will probably never happen to you. If it does, it will probably be small scale and you will hopefully be able to sort it out without too much trouble. It may even be an accident or just an act of absent-mindedness on the part of the “thief” – which is why you need to be careful, too – it’s very easy to infringe on the copyright
