'Copywrighted - do what? Is it anything to do with an association footballer of colour who used to advertise potted sauces - "It feels like chicken tonight"...'

Copywrighted refers to anything that's had an action performed on it by a copywright (cf. wheelwright, cartwright, Pricerite).

As in the example:

"Can you get some more paper clips from the store, please, Elsie?"

"Sorry, I'm a bit busy, love. I'll get the copywright to do it when she gets back from the photocopier."
