Phonorecords. A phonorecord is a material object in which sounds, other than those accompanying a motion picture or other audio­ visual work, are fixed and from which the sounds can be perceived, reproduced, or other­wise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. Examples include disks, open reels, cassettes, and cartridges. If the sound recording is protected by copy­right, the appropriate notice for a sound recording should be used. See 17 U.S.C. 101, for the definition of sound recordings: see also section 1004.02 of this chapter.
1003.03
Contributions to collective works. A separate contribution to a collective work may bear its own notice of copyright, or a single notice applicable to the collective work as a whole may be sufficient for the separate contribu­tions it contains but not including advertise­ments inserted on behalf of persons other than the owner of copyright in the collective work. See 17 U.S.C. 404(a). A collective work is one in which a number of separate and independent works are assembled into a collective whole, such as a periodical issue, anthology, or encyclopedia.
1004
Form of the copyright notice. The form of the notice is prescribed by the copyright law.
1004.01
Visually perceptible copies. For visually perceptible copies the notice of copyright shall consist of: 1) the symbol © (the letter C in a circle), or the word "Copyright," or the abbreviation "Copr.," 2) the year of first publication of the work, and 3) the name of the owner of copyright in the work, or an abbrevia­tion by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner. The year date may be omitted where a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural work, with accompanying text matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or any useful articles. See 17 U.S.C. 401(b).
