I run this blog, and I use this to express and write concerning anything from my personal life to current affairs that is happening within this universe. I have been writing and publishing for many years (since 2004) and blogging is a going-concern commitment for me.I appear mostly on the Internet under the pen name “poopler”. That leads to the reason why I had registered and branded POOPLER.com. ‘POOPLER.com Media’ is a brand I established to license all my creative works that spans from photography to communication designs to story boarding to writing. The pen name has no particular meaning, but nevertheless, I am proud of my brand.In addition, I operate POOPLER.com Share (http://share.poopler.com) that provides comprehensive document and project management with security. I have also decided that any works that I created falls under my private domain, which means that you need my permission and license to do anything to my works and intellectual property.

Additional Information:
Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the human mind. A creative work, an original expression or technical solutions to a problem can all be creations of value. These creations of the mind when duly protected can become valuable intellectual property.
Copyright is a bundle of rights given to creators of works to make sure that only they can use and reproduce what they have created for their own purposes. It protects works like novels, computer programs, plays, sheet music and paintings. These rights enable a copyright owner to control the commercial exploitation of his work.
Copyright law protects original works, such as websites, books, music, paintings, photos and video. A work is “original” if it contains some elements you created and did not borrow from others. Typically, when you create an original work, you own the copyright. As the copyright owner, you can control how others use your work. For example, if you write a movie script, you have the right to, and can prevent others from, copying your script, sharing it with others (“distributing it”), making a movie or book from your script (a “derivative work”), or publicly performing your script as a play or movie. You also have the ability to sell or give away these rights. In other words, you could sell the right to make a movie based on your script to a movie studio.If you use someone else’s copyrighted materials without permission, that use generally violates the copyright owner’s exclusive rights, and is copyright infringement. So if you create a new work and include parts of other people’s works in it (such as an existing photo, lengthy quotes from a book or a loop from a song), you must own or have permission to use the elements you borrow. For example, if your script is based on an existing popular series, you should obtain permission to use the elements you borrow from the series.Copyright law is different from the law of personal property. If you buy a physical object, such as a movie on DVD, you own the physical object. You do not, however, obtain ownership of the “copyrights” (the rights to make copies, distribute, make derivatives and publicly perform or display) in the content of the movie. The fact that you have obtained physical possession of a DVD does not automatically grant you the right to copy or share it.
If you make your own movie, it may include many copyrighted works in it. So, if you decide to make a movie based on your script, you must either create all elements of it on your own, or have permission to use the elements you borrow. Especially keep in mind that photos or artwork hanging on the walls of your sets and music on the soundtrack (even if you own the CD or MP3) may be copyrighted. You should not include copyrighted works such as these in your movie without authorization.
