Restoration-Copying old, faded, or damaged material

to produce a more presentable or legible copy.

Duplicating-Producing copies of negatives or slides for

use instead of the originals.

Intermediate Positive-A positive transparency of a

negative used for making more negatives.

Copyright Protection

laws of the United States to the authors of "original
works of authorship" including photographs. This
protection is available to both published and
unpublished works. The Copyright Act generally gives
the owner of the copyright the exclusive right to do and
to authorize others to do the following:

To reproduce the copyrighted work

8-2

To prepare derivative works based upon the
copyrighted work

To distribute copies of the copyrighted work to

the public by sale or other transfer of ownership
or by rental, lease, or lending

To display the copyrighted work publicly in the

case of literary, musical, dramatic, and
choreographic, or sculptural works, including the
individual images of a motion picture or other
photographic work

It is illegal for anyone to violate the rights provided

to an owner of a copyright. These rights, however, are
not unlimited in scope. The Copyright Act establishes
limitations on these rights. In some cases, these
limitations are specified exemptions from copyright
liability. Generally however, it is unlawful to reproduce,
without written consent of the copyright owner, any
material bearing a notice of copyright. The guiding rule
in copying is to secure written permission from the
copyright owner before starting work

What Is Protected

of expression. The fixation does not need to be directly
perceptible, so long as it may be communicated with the
aid of a machine or device. Copyrightable works include
the following categories:

Literary works

Musical works, including any accompanying
words

Dramatic works, including any accompanying
music

Pantomimes and choreographic works

Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works

Motion pictures and other imaging works and
sound recordings

This list is illustrative and is not inclusive of the cate-
gories of copyrightable works. These categories should
be viewed quite broadly.

What Is Not Protected

eligible for statutory copyright protection. Among
others include the following:
