| | Copyright / Fair Use for PHCa Groups & Forums |
 | | Copyright law in the United States is today extremely generous toward the creators and owners of new works. |
 | | Legal copyright protection vests immediately upon the creation of an "original work of authorship" that is "fixed in any tangible medium of expression." As a result, each one of us creates new protected works when we write journal articles, produce videotapes, create works of art, or write computer software. |
 | | In general, "copies" are material objects from which a work can be read or visually perceived either directly or with the aid of a machine or device, such as books, manuscripts, sheet music, film, videotape, or microfilm. |
