Issue 235 - August 6, 2004   OFFICE INVITES COMMENTS ON PROPOSED CHANGE TO REGULATION GOVERNING ACQUISITION AND DEPOSIT OF UNPUBLISHED TRANSMISSION PROGRAMS The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is proposing to amend its regulations to permit the Library of Congress to record unpublished radio and other audio and audiovisual transmission programs. The Copyright Office regulations already provide for the Library of Congress to obtain copies of unpublished television transmission programs, either by recording fixations or by demanding copies in the form of a transfer, loan, or sale at cost. The revised regulation makes similar provisions for audio transmission programs and includes transmission programs made available by radio broadcasts and by digital communications networks such as the Internet. Comments are due on September 7. For further information, click here.
