The Copyright Handbook covers virtually every area of the immense US copyright
law as it pertains to the written word. While it is not specifically music
oriented, copyright law for sheet music is the same as for books. At PD
Info
we try to provide accurate legal information about the public domain, but the
public domain is all about finding where NO copyright protection exists. Even if you
are using PD materials in your project, you need
to protect YOUR creative efforts by copyright law.
This book provides step-by-step instructions and all the forms you need to
register your copyright, protect against infringement, profit from your work,
and protect your creative efforts. 23 legal forms are included, both as
tear-outs and on CD-ROM. Fifteen chapters tell you all about:
- Registering a Work
- What Works Can Be Protected
- How
to Use a Copyright Notice
- Rights and Duration of Ownership
- How
Long a Copyright Lasts
|
- Transferring Copyright Ownership
- Recognizing an Adapted Work
- Fair
Use of Copyrighted Work
- Electronic Publishing Rights
- Protecting
Creative Works on the Internet
|
Completely revised, the 5th edition of The Copyright Handbook discusses
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Sonny Bono 20-Year Copyright Extension
Act, Tasini v. New York Times and how it affect all freelance writers,
and more. If you are publishing your creative works in any form, you need
this book on your desk.
