**"Copyright Cowboy (In the Digital Age)"** **Verse 1** I wake up every morning, pour my coffee black, Check my inbox, see who's got their content jacked. A TikTok dance, a YouTube stream, a stolen photograph, Another cease and desist is headed down the path. Got musicians, filmmakers, artists on the line, Somebody copied their creation one too many times. The internet's a wild west, but I've got the legal map, And I ride into the courtroom with the Copyright Act. **Chorus** 'Cause it's fun to be a copyright lawyer in the digital age, Protecting creators from pirates on every page. From AI bots to NFTs, streaming sites and memes, I'm defending people's hard work and protecting their dreams. Yeah, it's fun to be a copyright lawyer every day, Chasing infringement claims all across the cyber highway. When the algorithms roll and the lawsuits start to rage, I'm a copyright cowboy in the digital age. **Verse 2** A photographer in Texas calls me late at night, Some company in Florida stole her image rights. A songwriter in Nashville says his chorus sounds the same, As a platinum-selling single climbing up the charts of fame. We've got DMCA takedowns flying left and right, Meta, Google, Amazon all in my sights. One minute it's a podcast, next it's streaming TV, The technology keeps changing, but the law still follows me. **Chorus** 'Cause it's fun to be a copyright lawyer in the digital age, Protecting creators from pirates on every page. From AI bots to NFTs, streaming sites and memes, I'm defending people's hard work and protecting their dreams. Yeah, it's fun to be a copyright lawyer every day, Chasing infringement claims all across the cyber highway. When the algorithms roll and the lawsuits start to rage, I'm a copyright cowboy in the digital age. **Bridge** Some folks chase ambulances, some folks chase crime, I chase stolen videos one upload at a time. A million views don't matter if the rights aren't in place, And fair use ain't a magic shield in every single case. The robots may be learning, the platforms may evolve, But every new invention brings a legal problem to solve. So I'll keep reading statutes while the future takes shape, One copyright registration at a time to save the day. **Final Chorus** Yeah, it's fun to be a copyright lawyer in the digital age, Fighting for the artists on the world's biggest stage. From Hollywood productions to a kid's first design, Every creator deserves to know their work is truly mine. So raise a glass to creators, let the innovation flow, And if somebody steals your work, you know exactly where to go. I'll be riding through the metaverse, briefcase by my side, A copyright cowboy on the digital divide. **Outro** DMCA, Section 512, Registration certificates coming through. The internet keeps growing, and business is all the rage— Life is good for a copyright lawyer in the digital age.
