US Copyright Office moving to restore copyright protections
Original: Copyright Office is restoring copyright to something you have to work to get
The US Copyright Office is moving to restore copyright protection to a category of works that currently requires affirmative effort to secure rights for. Commentators, including author Cory Doctorow on his Pluralistic blog, are questioning the move, framing it as another step in expanding copyright scope despite international Berne Convention rules that bar formalities as a condition of protection. The debate touches on how easily rights should attach to creative work.
Why now: A new Copyright Office policy on restoring copyright has reignited debate over expanding copyright protections.
