Hold on. Copywriter is a job in the advertising industry for someone who writes the words for an advertisement; the skill is called copywriting (one word).
I know (well okay, I wasn't 100% certain whether it was one word or two until just now) but a) it's often easy to tell from context when somebody meant copyrighted, and b) although I've seen copywriting I can't recall ever having seen copywritten naturally ocurring as anything other than a thinko for copyright. But I don't hang out much with copywriters so for all I know that form may actually occur correctly someplace.
(I still wonder why I'm seeing fewer instances of copywrite but still plenty of copywritten -- if an algorithmic spooling chucker[*] allows one as a transformation of copywriter, it would likely pass the other as well, right? Hmm. Maybe they're still mostly list-based after all and copywritten does come up among copywriters and employers of copywriters but the spilling chalkers know copywrite is wrong?)
[*] The Unix 'spell' program understands adding stuff to stems, like tacking on '-ing'. This makes it powerful with a smallish dictionary ... but also makes it smart enough to be tricked. It'll pass 'singinging' and 'ringinging' because it knows "you can add '-ing'" (but oddly enough 'singinginging' does get flagged). There used to be an option to make it tell you whether correct words were found in the dictionary or assembled from roots and rules, but not in the version I have handy, so I can't verify my recollection that it correctly said 'yes' was okay but for the curious reasoning that it looked like a pluralization of 'ye'.
