Copyright - Spring 2008 - Review Q and A

Course Homepage | rss feed NOTE: I am not posting every single student question. Instead, I am only posting student questions that I believe the class, as a whole, will benefit from hearing. Some questions are too basic to deserve attention. Other questions are too advanced and nuanced. So don't take it personally if your question doesn't appear here. (Do take it personally if I don't respond to one of your questions. I might have forgotten to get to it, so if you don't hear from me in a day or two, please ask again.)

You're On Your Own. Good Luck!
The deadline for questions to the professor has passed. Also, I have posted all of the student Q&A's that I plan to post, so you need not check back here once you've seen this post.

Good luck everybody.

Uncopyrightable Material and the Copying Prong.
Q: When proving copying in infringement, can you consider non-copyrighted material?

A: Yes. This is why I keep saying that the four fake entries in Feist, even though almost certainly uncopyrightable, can still be used to satisfy the "copying" prong of the infringement test.

Works for Hire and Terminations of Transfer.
It is my understanding that works for hire can not be terminated. Is that the case?
