| What is a
copyright? |

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published and unpublished works.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 photo records;
• To prepare derivative works based upon the work;
• To distribute copies or photo records 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;
• To display the work publicly, in the case of
literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic
works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or
sculptural works, including the individual images of
a motion picture or other audiovisual work; and
• In the case of sound recordings,* to perform the
work publicly by means of a digital audio
transmission. In addition, certain authors of works
of visual art have the rights of attribution and
integrity as described in section 106A of the 1976
Copyright Act. For
further information, see Circular 40, Copyright
Registration for Works of the Visual Arts. It is
illegal for anyone to violate any of the rights
provided by the copyright law to the owner of
copyright. These rights, however, are not unlimited
in scope. Sections 107 through 121 of the 1976
Copyright Act establish limitations
on these rights. In some cases, these limitations
are specified exemptions from copyright liability.
One major limitation is the doctrine of “fair use,”
which is given a statutory basis in section 107 of
the 1976 Copyright Act. In other instances, the
limitation takes the form of a “compulsory license”
under which certain limited uses of copyrighted
works are permitted upon payment of specified
royalties and compliance with statutory conditions.
For further information about the limitations of any
of these rights, consult the copyright law or write
to the Copyright Office.
