Summary "Copyright Law of the United States of America" is a legal publication detailing the copyright statutes and regulations relevant to authors and copyright owners, likely written in the late 20th century. The document serves as an authoritative resource for understanding the legal aspects of copyright, including definitions, ownership rights, limitations, and the administration of copyright laws in the United States. The opening of the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the Copyright Act of 1976, outlining various sections that categorize and define key terms such as "literary works," "audiovisual works," and "sound recordings." It details the rights and privileges of copyright owners, the conditions for fair use, and the process for libraries and archives regarding reproduction and distribution of works. This initial portion establishes a framework for readers, inviting those interested in copyright law—be it legal professionals, artists, publishers, or educators—to navigate the complexities of copyright ownership, usage, and infringement within the American legal landscape.
