Affixation and position of the copyright notice. (cont'd)
1013.13
Dust jackets on books. A notice of copyright on the dust jacket of a book is not acceptable as notice for the book, since the dust jacket is not permanently attached to the book. Also, a notice of copyright appearing in a book, even though referring to a dust jacket or material appearing on a dust jacket, is not acceptable as notice for the dust jacket or any material appearing on that dust jacket. These cases will be treated as omissions of notice. See 17 U.S.C. 405, and section 1008 of this chapter.
1013.14
Sound recordings. In general, in the case of sound recordings the notice should be placed on the surface of the phonorecord, or on the phonorecord label or container. 17 U.S.C. 402(c). As a rule, a notice anywhere on the surface of the phonorecord, the label, or a container will be acceptable. A container includes the jacket housing a disk or the box housing a reel-to-reel tape, a cartridge, or a cassette, but does not include an outer mailing or packaging box, envelope, or other wrapper intended for disposal once the phonorecord is put into use.
1013.15
Multi-part works. One notice per unit of publication is adequate for both copies or phonorecords, provided that a proper notice is used and that it is affixed in a manner and location that gives reasonable notice of the claim to copyright in the entire unit of publication. For example: for a phonorecord a notice on the first disk of a l2-disk collection is acceptable, but a notice only on the middle disk of a l2-disk collection is not acceptable: for music a notice properly positioned on the score of a unit consisting of a score and parts is acceptable for the entire unit, but a notice only on one or more of the parts is not acceptable for the unit: for a multimedia kit, a notice on the permanent container or box in which it is housed is acceptable.
