Should I Copyright my Writing?

Answer:
Many writers – whether published or not – are concerned about copyrighting their work.  Many people do not know that written work is copyrighted as soon as it is published in any way, whether online or in print.  This began in 1977, when written work was automatically copyrighted for 70 years after the death of the author.

What is the Black Market?

Answer:
The black market, also known as the underground market, is any buying or selling of merchandise illegally.  Although the term black market includes illegal substances such as drugs, oftentimes the merchandise itself is legal, although it has been procured and is being sold in a way that is not compliant with local laws.


 

What is the Underground Economy?

Answer:
When determining the state of the official economy, government officials use figures that are reported by companies, businesses, individuals, and organizations when they pay their income taxes.  However, the underground economy involves other figures – those that are not a part of the “official” economy.  The underground economy includes both income that is illegally earned, such as drug sales, prostitution, and illegal workers; as well as income that is legal but unreported such as tips and other cash-based earnings.
