The Register of Copyrights updated a declaration of a disruption that indicates an outage existed from 5 p. August 12, , until 6 a. The Declaration Page includes instructions for affected applicants to request an adjustment of their effective date of registration. Search our online records, learn about our searching and retrieval services, and view educational videos and materials. To encourage recordation, the Copyright Act also provides certain benefits for recording documents.
These benefits include establishing priority between conflicting transfers or between a transfer and a nonexclusive license under certain circumstances, and providing constructive notice to the public of the facts stated in the recorded document if certain requirements are met. If accepted, the Register of Copyright will record the document and issue a certificate of recordation.
As of March , the processing time for recording transfers or other documents related to copyright is 10 months. For more information on recording transfers of copyright ownership, see Copyright Office Circular Recordation of Transfers and Other Documents. Authors Alliance, together with Creative Commons, has created a tool at rightsback. As of March , the processing time for recording notices of termination of transfers is 3 months.
It is also important to check the terms of sale or license agreement of the original copy of software in case any special conditions have been put in place by the copyright owner that might affect your ability or right under section to make a backup copy.
There is no other provision in the Copyright Act that specifically authorizes the making of backup copies of works other than computer programs even if those works are distributed as digital copies. The Copyright Act does not permit anyone to sell backup copies to third parties separately from the original copy of the software.
If you lawfully own a computer program, you may sell or transfer that lawful copy together with a lawfully made backup copy of the software, but you may not sell the backup copy alone.
Section does NOT permit the sale of backup copies. Once we, the people, purchase a device it becomes our property to do with as WE see fit. Copyright and patent law, including but not limited to the DMCA, is at all times superseded by and subject to the Sixth Amendment.
Your failure to recognize those rights does not invalidate them, nor does it make them unenforceable. You would do well to remember that you are a taxpayer funded public entity that exists to serve We The People first and foremost. Remember your place, your station and that you serve We The People, not the other way around.
