Summary

"Copyright Law of the United States of America and Related Laws Contained in Title 17 of the United States Code” is a comprehensive legal resource, probably from the late 20th century, that compiles the copyright statutes of the United States under Title 17; beginning with a constitutional basis found in Article I, Section 8, it organizes information, definitions, and amendments concerning the creation, ownership, registration, subject matter, and limitations of copyright protections for authored works. This volume dives into the specifics of copyright law using a table of contents organized into easy access for legal reference, with an emphasis on classifying various types of works as "literary works," "sound recordings," and "audiovisual works." The intention of this work is to provide definitions of terms and explore copyright law and its complexities.
