of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the
authors of “original works of authorship,” including
literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other
intellectual works. This protection is available to both
published and unpublished works. Section 106 of the 1976
Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the
exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the
following:
- To reproduce the
work in copies or phonorecords;
- To prepare
derivative works based upon the work;
- To distribute
copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by
sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental,
lease, or lending;
- To perform the
work publicly, in the case of literary, musical,
dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and
motion pictures and other audiovisual works;
- To display the
copyrighted work publicly, in the case of literary,
musical, dramatic, and choreographic works,
pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural
