Motion pictures and other audiovisual works. The following constitute examples of acceptable methods of affixation and positions of the copyright notice on motion pictures and other audiovisual works:
1)
A notice that is embodied in the copies by a photomechanical or electronic process, in such a position that it ordinarily would appear whenever the work is performed in its entirety, and that is located: (i) with or near the title; (ii) with the cast, credits, and similar information; (iii) at or immediately following the beginning of the work; or (iv) at or immediately pre­ceding the end of the work.
2)
In the case of an untitled motion picture or other audiovisual work whose duration is sixty seconds or less, in addition to any of the locations listed in paragraph (1) above, a notice that is embodied in the copies by a photomechanical or electronic process, in such a position that it ordi­narily would appear to the projectionist or broadcaster when preparing the work for performance is acceptable if it is located on the leader of the film or tape immedia­tely preceding the beginning of the work.
