Copyright Office Amends Regulations Regarding Acquisition
and Deposit of Unpublished Audio and Audiovisual
Transmission Programs for the Library of Congress
This final rule amends the Copyright Office regulations governing recording
by the Library of Congress of unpublished transmission programs that have
been fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Under the final rule, the
Library may make a recording of unpublished radio, television, satellite,
cable, and Internet transmission programs that have been fixed prior to
or simultaneously with transmission. The copyright owner may then use the
Library's recorded copy or phonorecord to satisfy the deposit requirement
to register a copyright claim in the transmission program. In response to
comments, the final rule requires the Motion Picture, Broadcasting, and
Recorded Sound Division to post on its website a list of transmission programs
that it has recorded pursuant to this regulation. For further information, click here.
