Peter James Nelson also known as "Copywrite" is an underground hip-hop artist from Columbus, Ohio. Nelson emerged from the underground scence in 2002 with his collaboration with producer RJD2 on the track Holier Than Thou. His first major release The High Exhaulted, was released on the Eastern Conference record label with praise, but some felt that RJD2 beats were too dark for Copywrite's persona.[1]' Copywrite's second release, Cruise Control Mixtape: Volume 1, was released on the O.D.O.T. record label in 2005. Copywrite has also been a member of such rap groups as MHz(MegaHertz) and the Weathermen.

[edit] PowerBar Ernie

PowerBar Ernie is a satirical, comical and non-sensical creation from the mind of Copywrite. To date, Copywrite has released two albums under the PowerBar Ernie name, Bagface 5: Bedroom Hustlers and Poor Boy Lover Plus. Neither album was commercially released and are becoming increasingly hard to find over the internet. Although Copywrite has never personally taken credit for the PowerBar Ernie work, it has been alluded to by several rappers that PowerBar Ernie is indeed Copywrite, most notably on the 7L and Esoteric diss track Runaway which contains the line "Hillbilly Pete tryin' to keep it street, but you nerdy. Actin' 730 when you Powerbar Ernie. Whiteboy sayin' "nigga" sounds sick. When the only black in you be Camu Tao's dick". In an internet interview on Gorillamovement.com i rapper Icon the Mic King suggests that Copywrite is PowerBar Ernie.[2]
