Copywrong: Noun. A legal ban for a specific artist
or publisher to produce certain works. This is often planned by companies to
get rid of competition by banning the competition from using specific products
whether or not the product has actually been developed or any rights are owned
by the first company, this would get rid of competition but not affect smaller
companies creating the illusion that the first company is being nice to them.
While this is often planned by companies it is rarely executed mostly because
governments are reluctant to grant copywrongs to companies especially ones submitted
by a source that does not have any rights to the product banned by the
copywrong. While it is unusual, in November of 1995, a company producing
gravelals shut down because a copywrong left it unable to make money. The
company was doing very poorly at selling its footgear, so it started selling a
recipe of lemon pie that its employees developed. Soon after production, the
company received a copywrong concerning the pie they were selling and were left
with no source of income. While it is unclear who submitted the copywrong, a
reliable source claims that it was sent by a company that does not own rights
to any food products or shoes and would not have any obvious interest in getting
rid of the gravelal producers but they did have good arguments for why the
copywrong should be passed.
