Copyright Laws (cont.) There is no such thing as an "international copyright" that
automatically protects a work throughout the world although more than 150 countries have ratified a treaty intended to accomplish as many of the benefits of "international copyright" as possible. Generally, if a work is protected in the U.S. it is protected in most countries because the U.S. adheres to the leading copyright convention, the Berne Convention, which is administered by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).

Copyright Laws (cont.)
Copyright law protects musical and spoken compositions, or "works"; the performance of a work preserved in a sound recording; and the sound recording itself.

Copyright Laws (cont.)Musical works. Performance rights
organizations (ASCAP, BMI and SESAC) handle copyright licenses for the performance of musical works. Separate licenses are necessary from each performance rights organization because each company represents different publishers of composers' musical works.

Copyright Laws (cont.)Sound recordings. Copyright licenses for the
playing (or "performance") of sound recordings historically have been handled directly with the owners of the works, usually record companies. (Over-the-air broadcasters are not required to obtain copyright licenses for playing sound recordings. They must, however, hold licenses for playing the underlying musical works.)

Fair UseA “fair use” is copying any protected
material (texts, sounds, images, etc.) for a limited and “transformative” purpose, like criticizing, commenting, parodying, news reporting, teaching the copyrighted work. Under the U.S. copyright laws, fair use “is not an infringement of copyright.”

Public Domain

Public Domain (cont.)A work is in the public domain in the U.S.
either when (a) the copyright term has expired or if copyright protection for that work was not maintained in the manner required prior to 1989, (b) the work is an unpublished work and special rules indicate it has fallen into the public domain, or (c) the author or copyright owner dedicated the work to the public domain.
