In the media and entertainment industry, writers and editors spend hours each week managing copyright paperwork. Tasks like copying manuscript details from Word into government forms, tracking submissions in spreadsheets, and emailing colleagues for status updates drain valuable creative time. Mistakes and missed steps can lead to rejected registrations and lost rights. Handling this manually with Google Drive and email is tedious and risky.
