Copywrong

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.
