Description
The author of this book goes over some of the history of copyright and some of the current existing laws. He explains that under the current laws of the U.S., securing a copyright doesn't require publication, registration, or any other action in the U.S. Copyright Office. Instead, copyright protection is secured automatically upon the creation of a work. Copyright protection is available to original works of authorship, such as musical works, sound recordings, photographs, literary works, movies, television, and software. The owner of a copyright has certain exclusive rights, such as selling the work, performing the work publicly, reproducing the work, and creating derivative works. The copyright owner can also transfer ownership of the work, whether by complete transfer or by granting a license. He explains information about how to secure a copyright and the advantages of registration with the Copyright Office. He also gives advice on the legal aspect of how to do this properly and offers where to get help in doing this.
