I understand that its automatic when its in tangible form but it would make me feel better if i could register it with either the government or the creative commons so that its officially registered, (I want to do this so that i never have to prove that i am the author, because it would be registered and its "set in stone" yes its automatic but it makes me feel better about it

Q1my question does a creative commons make me acknowledged as i want it or do i need to do the goverment copyright(as i want it as described above)

Q2 is it ok for me to put this format Copyright 2017-2021 if this is my first version, because my copyright protection lasts 70 years after my life it wouldn't matter what i put up front. i like this format because it would show when i started the book from scratch.

I suspect that your shift key and various punctuation keys are broken on your keyboard...
The writing above is atrocious (wow, got to use the word twice in a single day).

In today's America, you can say pretty much whatever you want to say about any branch of Christianity with no problems.

A successful defamation lawsuit requires that you communicate a false statement of fact about someone to another person that harms that person's reputation. So, if you falsely accuse Amy of theft to her employer and she gets fired, she could sue you for defamation. But if you make a general statement online that all Christians are thieves and Amy is a Christian she could not successfully sue you for defamation because, while the statement is clearly factually false if taken literally, you have not communicated anything about Amy specifically, i.e. you didn't specifically name her or otherwise specifically identify her. In short, you can state your views about large religious denominations and not worry about a successful defamation lawsuit from a member of that denomination. Nor can the government punish you for your views of those denominations. You cannot, however, prevent the blowback you may get from making negative statements about religious groups from those who follow that religion.

When you write, if you don’t single out individuals in a large group or write about easily identifiable individuals in a small group, there is little chance that any of the individuals could successfully sue you for defamation, even if what you wrote strayed from pure opinions into false facts.

One of the key elements of defamation is the identification of a person or entity. If no one knows who you are writing or talking about, no reputation can be injured.

As has been said before (several times ), you should have your completed manuscript personally reviewed and edited by a publishing law professional, so problematic areas in your book can be eliminated or modified. And make sure you are insured well enough to cover the costs of a lawsuit, in the event you are sued despite all your best efforts to write carefully.

Good luck.

You will want to go over all facts of your publication with a publishing law professional in your area, Z3R0. A personal review of your manuscript is necessary.

You have to be very careful handling the reputations of the organization and organization members if your book’s content is related to the organization.

I am trying to do my homework first, and have the best possible form I can get. Then consider having it approved. this includes the disclaimer, im trying to reduce the costs of a personal review. in my disclaimer I state that my views don't necessarily reflect the views of the organization i am with(paraprased).

im thinking that a affiliate disclosure involves money or any benefit received, and that if i dont receive anything then i dont need an affiliate disclosure. can you please either confirm or deny that statement(this paragraph)

If you are writing independent of the organization, and if you are not generating funds based on your affiliation with the organization, a simple disclaimer is probably all you will need BUT it really depends on your book’s content.

It sounds like it is time (past time?) to sit down with a legal professional in your area for a personal review of the text. What you need and don’t need is dependent on what you have written and how it is written. We cannot do personal reviews on this forum.

I see nothing wrong offhand with you advertising your book on your webpage. Why do you think it might be a problem?

 

[Z3R0]

im trying to understand disclosures (not disclaimer) this is where you have to state that you have a connection with an organization

im wondering is amazon my affiliate if i put a link to how to buy my book from them(similar to my questions before that)

there's nothing wrong with that, its do i need to put a disclosure(this is not referring to a disclaimer)

You are not an affiliate just based on the scenario above. Being an "affiliate" means you are part of Amazon's affiliate marketing program (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/)

You can provide a link to a book on your website. You are not an Amazon service or offering Amazon products.

Please sit down with a publishing law professional in your area to review exactly what you need and don’t need, and what you should do and shouldn’t do, with your book’s content and when marketing your book.

Good luck, Z3R0.
