Copyrights FAQs
Question: Does preregistering substitute for registering?
Answer:"Preregistration is not a substitute for registration Its purpose is to allow an infringement action to be brought before the authorized commercial distribution of a work and full registration thereof, and to make it possible, upon full registration, for the copyright owner to receive statutory damages and attorneys' fees in an infringement action.

Library of Congress Examines Copyright Issues in Digital Preservation of Commercial Sound Recordings
The Library of Congress has announced the completion of a commissioned report that examines copyright issues associated with the preservation of commercial sound recordings. This new report from the Library of Congress and the Council on Library and Information Resources addresses the question of what libraries and archives are legally empowered to do to preserve and make accessible for research their holdings of pre-1972 commercial sound recordings.
The report, “Copyright Issues Relevant to Digital Preservation and Dissemination of Pre-1972 Commercial Sound Recordings by Libraries and Archives,” is one of a series of studies undertaken by the National Recording Preservation Board (NRPB), under the auspices of the Library of Congress. It was written by June Besek, executive director of the Kernochan Center for Law, Media and the Arts at Columbia University.
“Professor June Besek’s study lucidly summarizes how audio preservation is affected by state and other laws,” Librarian of Congress James H. Billington notes in his introduction to the study. “Without this work we would not be aware of the challenges implicit in the laws and understand their full impact. This report will be of great value in creating a national preservation plan. We are grateful to Congress for supporting this significant work and to June Besek for bringing light and clarity to a complex topic.” Read more at loc.gov
