The United States of America provides the right and the protection of and to
“Original Works of Authorship” and certain Intellectual Property works.
Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U.
S. Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic,
musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to
both published and unpublished works. Section 106 of the 1976 Copyright Act generally
gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the
following:
- To reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords
- To prepare derivative works based upon the work
- To distribute copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by sale or other
transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending
- To perform the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and
choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual
works
- Copyright protection subsists from the time the work is created in fixed form.
The copyright in the work of authorship immediately becomes the property of
the author who created the work. Only the author or those deriving their rights
through the author can rightfully claim copyright
- Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is
"created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time. "Copies"
are material objects from which a work can be read or visually perceived either
directly or with the aid of a machine or device, such as books, manuscripts,
sheet music, film, videotape, or microfilm. "Phonorecords" are material objects
embodying fixations of sounds (excluding, by statutory definition, motion
picture soundtracks), such as cassette tapes, CDs, or LPs. Thus, for example, a
song (the "work") can be fixed in sheet music (" copies") or in phonograph
disks (" phonorecords"), or both
