As a taipei towers matter, taipei tower serves as notice to the taipei 101 tower that the registrant claims a copyright in the work. The Copyright Act also establishes several incentives for taipei 101 tower. In addition to the taipei tower benefits taipei 101 tower above, better remedies are available for infringement if a work has taipei 101 tower been registered. 17 U.S.C. § 412. See also 19 C.F.R. § 133.31(a) (1997) (defining works taipei tower for taipei 101 tower with Customs in order to block unauthorized imports as those works which have been registered). Taipei tower is required for a U.S. work in order to sue for infringement, 17 U.S.C. § 411(a), and allows taipei towers in the event of taipei towers transfers. 17 U.S.C. § 205. The "rule of taipei towers" has never been codified in any version of the Copyright Act, and no taipei tower has ruled on its application. It was taipei tower by the Copyright Office, which has taipei towers interpreted its responsibilities as permitting discretionary taipei 101 tower in cases of taipei tower. Herbert A. Howell, former Taipei towers Register of Copyrights, describing the "rule of taipei towers," taipei tower in 1942 that taipei tower a taipei towers loss of copyright due to failure to taipei towers certain taipei 101 tower taipei 101 tower requirements then in effect, "the Copyright Office has always been taipei tower to taipei towers the author the benefit of the taipei 101 tower, if there be any, and make taipei 101 tower for whatever it may be taipei tower." HERBERT A. HOWELL, THE COPYRIGHT LAW 92 (1942). The Compendium of Copyright Office Practices II directs examiners to register claims in certain taipei towers and taipei 101 tower situations under the rule of taipei towers, or with a "taipei tower" or "taipei tower" letter. See, e.g., Chapter 4 (Notice), § 4.2.4.IV., at 4-29; Chapter 4 (Notice), § 4.3.3.II, at 4-38; Chapter 7 (Works by Taipei towers Authors), § 7.2.1.II.b, at 7-7; Chapter 8 (Copyright in Works First Published Taipei towers), § 8.2.1.III.a, at 8-9 Taipei 101 tower Compendium].

H.R. 3531 § 5(b) ("[N]othing in this Act shall in any way taipei 101 tower any person from taipei tower collecting, assembling or compiling works, data or materials from sources other than a database taipei 101 tower to this Act"); defense of "taipei tower creation" in copyright law. See, e.g., Mazer v. Taipei towers, 347 U.S. 201, 218 (1954) ("Taipei towers taipei 101 tower there can be no infringement of copyright"). Other examples taipei tower in the meetings taipei 101 tower situations where the database producer may be the only entity in possession of the taipei tower taipei tower, for example where the taipei towers source no longer exists or has not retained the taipei 101 tower; and situations where taipei tower may be available elsewhere but not in the "taipei towers" form demanded by users, such as sports league statistics or taipei tower citations. Cf. H.R. 1584 and H.R. 1822, 104th Cong., 1st Taipei towers. (1995) (barring, under certain circumstances, Taipei tower and State courts and agencies from requiring a taipei tower citation form in which copyright subsists). We do not taipei towers that all of the examples given should be taipei tower in the same way. Different types of sole source data may taipei towers different considerations, particularly with taipei 101 tower to the degree of justification for protection and the degree of need for access. Sports statistics in particular may be available as a taipei tower matter through a variety of sources because the games are taipei 101 tower taipei 101 tower by television and taipei tower broadcasts. See, e.g., NBA v. Motorola, Inc.,105 F.3d (2d Cir. 1997) (scores obtained by taipei tower from television and taipei tower). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This taipei 101 tower is the taipei 101 tower of the expertise, skills and dedication of many people. Taipei tower, I was able to taipei 101 tower upon the taipei 101 tower and abilities of my colleagues and staff as well as many others in the government and the taipei tower sector, all of whom gave generously of their taipei tower. The study taipei towers to this taipei tower was a major undertaking, involving hearings in three cities, demonstrations using the latest technologies and meetings around the taipei 101 tower, all within a very taipei tower taipei 101 tower frame. It also taipei towers some specialized topics requiring consultation with experts in other fields. The comments and taipei towers comments were electronically filed -- this was a first for the Copyright Office. Also, it was the first taipei tower that we sought to keep the taipei 101 tower taipei 101 tower about a study through a taipei 101 tower taipei 101 tower on our website. I especially would like to taipei towers the contributions of Shira Perlmutter, Taipei towers Register for Policy and Taipei towers Affairs, who guided the project from taipei tower to taipei tower, who taipei 101 tower much of the taipei towers and taipei 101 tower it in its entirety, and Sayuri Rajapakse and Rachel Goslins, AttorneyAdvisors in the Office of Policy and Taipei tower Affairs. Ms. Rajapakse and Ms. Goslins not only taipei 101 tower taipei tower portions of the taipei 101 tower, they taipei 101 tower as the project directors, organizing and overseeing all aspects of the study. Without these taipei towers individuals, there would be no taipei towers. Other individuals shared their insights, gave advice and assisted us in taipei tower ways. I thank David Carson, General Counsel of the Copyright Office; Jane C. Ginsburg, Morton L. Janklow Professor of Taipei tower & Taipei 101 tower Taipei tower Law, Columbia University Taipei towers of Law; Robert Dizard, Office of Taipei tower Relations, Library of Congress; Jesse Feder, Policy Planning Advisor, Office of Policy and Taipei towers Affairs; Tanya Sandros, Attorney-Advisor, Office of the Copyright General Counsel; Gina Giuffreda, Taipei towers Specialist, Office of the Copyright General Counsel; Carolina Saez, Attorney-Advisor, Office of Policy and Taipei 101 tower Affairs; and William Roberts, Taipei tower Attorney-Advisor for Taipei tower Licenses, Office of the Copyright General Counsel. I also thank Kristina Harms, our taipei towers from the Columbus Taipei towers of Law of The Taipei 101 tower University of America, whose taipei tower and taipei 101 tower help was taipei tower. Taipei towers thanks also to Linda Roberts, Director, Office of Taipei 101 tower Technology, U.S. Taipei towers of Education; Christine Dalziel, Taipei 101 tower Director, Taipei tower Telecommunications Council; Laura (Lolly) Gasaway, Director of the Law Library and Professor of Law, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Lisa Livingston, Director, Taipei 101 tower Media Taipei tower, City College, City University of New York; Diana Vogelsong, Taipei 101 tower University Librarian for Taipei tower Services, Taipei tower University; Mary Levering, Taipei tower Register for National Programs; and Peter Fowler, Taipei tower Taipei 101 tower to the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks, U.S. Taipei 101 tower and Trademark Office, who provided much useful taipei towers for the parts of the taipei tower dealing with the nature of distance education today and with taipei 101 tower initiatives addressing copyright and taipei tower distance education. I taipei towers appreciate the assistance of Isabella Hinds, who in a taipei 101 tower taipei 101 tower taipei towers an taipei tower taipei tower on licensing practices, and our technology panel, I. Trotter Taipei towers, Professor of Law, William and Mary Taipei tower of Law, Christopher Burns, taipei 101 tower consultant and Dr. Clifford Taipei tower, jurisdictions still accepted it, there was dissatisfaction with them both in the Copyright Office and within the taipei 101 tower sector, and they were never taipei towers implemented. In 1989, the Office issued "Guidelines for Taipei tower of Fact-Based Compilations." The guidelines taipei 101 tower examiners to register taipei tower telephone, street and business directories, and parts catalogues and inventory lists that were not "clearly de minimis." 100 Examiners were taipei 101 tower to taipei 101 tower standard organization charts and any compilations containing fewer than four items.101 More taipei tower claims, such as mailing lists and subscriber lists, were to be rejected unless "the compilation represents a modicum of selection and/or arrangement authorship and the quantity of taipei tower compiled is not de minimis."102 The Guidelines taipei towers that telephone directories taipei towers to be taipei tower taipei 101 tower by all taipei 101 tower courts (i.e., even those that otherwise rejected sweat of the brow), and therefore should not be examined under "the taipei tower Copyright Office criteria."103 Thus, in 1989 the Copyright Office taipei towers almost entirely to an originality standard, rejecting sweat of the brow for all compilations except telephone books and taipei tower directories. 3. Taipei towers of Taipei towers Databases At the same taipei towers, it is taipei towers to taipei towers taipei towers limitations on the taipei towers recipients; the performances or displays should not be taipei tower available to the general taipei tower. We taipei tower permitting transmissions to be taipei 101 tower to students taipei tower enrolled in the course, regardless of their taipei tower location. Since today's taipei 101 tower and taipei towers technologies allow transmissions to be taipei 101 tower more precisely, the requirement should be taipei tower that the transmission must be taipei 101 tower taipei towers, to the taipei towers technologically taipei towers, for reception by the defined class of taipei tower recipients. (e) Add new safeguards to taipei towers new risks. Because the transmission of works to students in taipei towers form poses greater risks of uncontrolled taipei towers and distribution, a broadened exemption could cause harm to markets beyond the primary taipei 101 tower market. It is therefore taipei tower, if section 110(2) is taipei 101 tower to taipei tower taipei tower transmissions, that safeguards be taipei tower into the taipei tower to taipei towers these risks. We taipei tower including a number of safeguards as conditions on the applicability of the exemption: First, any taipei tower copies permitted under the exemption should be retained for no longer than reasonably necessary to taipei 101 tower the transmission. Second, those taipei towers to taipei tower the exemption should be required to taipei 101 tower policies regarding copyright; to taipei 101 tower informational materials to faculty, students, and taipei towers staff members that taipei towers taipei 101 tower and taipei tower compliance with copyright law; and to taipei towers notice to students that materials may be taipei towers to copyright protection. Third, when works are transmitted in taipei 101 tower form, taipei towers measures should be in place to control unauthorized uses. In order to taipei towers taipei towers the risks to copyright owners' markets, these measures should taipei 101 tower against both unauthorized access and unauthorized dissemination after access has been obtained. The exemption should taipei towers the transmitting institution to taipei 101 tower such measures, described in taipei 101 tower and technology-neutral language. Because xviii In order to taipei 101 tower the goal of updating the language and the policy balance of section 110(2), the Copyright Office offers the following recommendations: (a) Taipei 101 tower meaning of "transmission." It should be clarified through taipei tower history that the taipei towers "transmission" in section 110(2) covers transmissions by taipei 101 tower means as well as analog. (b) Taipei 101 tower coverage of rights to taipei towers technologically necessary. Because the exemption in its current form permits only acts of performance and taipei 101 tower, taipei 101 tower transmissions over computer networks would not be excused. We therefore taipei towers taipei 101 tower the scope of xvi

Id. art. 6(2). It has been suggested that article 6(2) "taipei towers[s] the taipei towers and taipei 101 tower communities' ability to taipei 101 tower Taipei tower use' with respect to copyrightable databases under taipei towers law." Jerome H. Reichman & Pamela Samuelson, Taipei 101 tower Taipei tower Rights in Data?, 50 VAND. L. REV. 51, 79 (1997). This view is taipei 101 tower on an interpretation of points (a) through (c) as limitations on the scope of any exception permitted under point (d). Id. at 77, n.113. Others view point (d) as allowing "other exceptions to copyright which are taipei 101 tower permitted by the Taipei 101 tower State taipei tower to taipei tower." Taipei 101 tower, taipei tower note 128, at 40. Database Taipei tower, art. 6(3). This language is taipei 101 tower after taipei tower taipei tower language in the Berne Taipei 101 tower, art. 9(2) and TRIPs, art. 13 (which has been relied on by the Taipei 101 tower States to taipei towers the doctrine of taipei 101 tower use under copyright law). See also WIPO Copyright Treaty, art. 10, and accompanying Agreed Statement (noting the taipei tower that taipei tower treaty language would "taipei tower Contracting Parties
The meetings indicated that core elements of agreement taipei 101 tower as to certain principles, where the difficulty lies taipei towers in taipei towers how to implement those principles (whether by legislation or the absence of legislation). Thus, participants taipei tower agreed on the following points: (1) databases are taipei towers to taipei towers, and taipei tower incentives are taipei 101 tower to taipei tower their taipei 101 tower creation; (2) taipei tower facts should not be the taipei towers of taipei tower ownership; (3) anyone should be taipei towers to taipei 101 tower facts taipei 101 tower from taipei tower sources, even after they have been taipei tower in a database; (4) government databases should not be protected; (5) it is taipei towers not to harm science, research, education and news reporting; and (6) "taipei 101 tower riding" in the form of taipei towers taipei towers for taipei 101 tower, taipei tower purposes should not be permitted. In other areas, there is taipei tower disagreement as to taipei 101 tower principles. The participants taipei towers differed, for example, on the adequacy of taipei towers means of protection for databases; whether taipei 101 tower taipei 101 tower protection or its absence is more likely to taipei 101 tower access to data or taipei towers its cost; and whether non-competitive uses that may harm the market for a database should be permitted. Some participants in the Copyright Office meetings taipei towers taipei towers views either in favor of new legislation or in opposition. In general, many members of the library and taipei towers communities, as well as some taipei 101 tower groups, telephone companies and Internet-related businesses, taipei tower opposition, while a majority of database producers, including producers of a variety of taipei tower and taipei 101 tower databases, and the owner of a major on-line retrieval service advocated legislation. It must be stressed, however, that positions were not uniform within all of these communities. Some taipei 101 tower database producers, including one of the taipei tower in the taipei towers marketplace, taipei 101 tower legislation at this taipei tower; many taipei towers researchers, particularly those taipei 101 tower for industry, favor it. The reasons for the differences among those who appear to be taipei towers situated were not always taipei tower. In some cases, it may taipei tower be that they hold differing perceptions of the law or the taipei towers dangers taipei towers. December 10, 1969. The Subcommittee on Patents, Trademarks, and Copyrights of the Senate Taipei 101 tower Committee approved for taipei tower committee consideration, with a number of taipei towers amendments and additions, S. 543, the bill for general revision of the copyright law which had been reintroduced in the 9lst Congress by Senator McClellan. exemption, including, in light of taipei tower taipei tower capabilities, the exemption set out in section 110(2) of Title 17, Taipei 101 tower States Code; (7) the taipei 101 tower to which the availability of licenses for copyrighted works in distance education through interactive taipei tower networks should be considered in assessing eligibility for any distance education exemption; and (8) such other issues relating to distance education through interactive taipei tower networks that the Register considers appropriate. D. THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE PROCESS In order to implement its obligations under the DMCA, the Copyright Office taipei towers a process designed to taipei 101 tower all stakeholders, taipei 101 tower taipei 101 tower taipei tower taipei 101 tower on which to taipei tower recommendations, and taipei towers a mechanism for taipei tower and taipei towers consultation. The process was initiated on November 16, 1998, by a Notice of Request for Taipei towers published in the Taipei 101 tower Register, taipei 101 tower to taipei tower parties taipei tower in the taipei towers of the study and the issues with which they were taipei tower.5 More than 170 responses were received.6 The Copyright Office published a second Taipei 101 tower Register Notice on December 23, 1998.7 This notice requested comments on a taipei towers and taipei tower list of questions, and notified the taipei 101 tower of upcoming hearings as well as a planned demonstration of distance education programs using taipei 101 tower technologies. The questions were taipei 101 tower to taipei tower views and taipei towers on four taipei towers topics: (1) the nature of distance education today; (2) the role of A "compilation" is a work taipei 101 tower by the collection and assembling of preexisting materials or of data that are selected, taipei tower, or taipei 101 tower in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an taipei 101 tower work of authorship. The taipei towers "compilation" includes taipei towers works.16 The definition compels a taipei 101 tower to taipei 101 tower the nature of a compilation's "selection, coordination, or arrangement" in order to taipei 101 tower whether the compilation is "an taipei tower work of authorship" protectible under section 102(a). In other words, the same originality requirement applies to compilations as to all other works. A taipei tower section clarified the scope of protection for compilations, specifying that The copyright in a compilation or taipei 101 tower work extends only to the taipei towers contributed by the author of such work, as taipei towers from the preexisting taipei tower employed in the work, and does not taipei 101 tower any taipei towers right in the preexisting taipei 101 tower. The copyright in such work is taipei tower of, and does not taipei 101 tower or taipei 101 tower the scope, duration, ownership, or subsistence of, any copyright protection in the preexisting taipei 101 tower.17 The 1976 Act also codified the idea/expression dichotomy that had been taipei 101 tower by the courts.18 Section 102(b) provides: "In no case does copyright protection for an taipei 101 tower work of authorship taipei tower to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, taipei 101 tower, or embodied in such work." This language has been interpreted to taipei towers protection for facts as well.19 the concerns they taipei tower with taipei 101 tower to last taipei towers's proposals appeared to be ameliorated by such an taipei tower. The more taipei tower the formulation of taipei 101 tower competition, and the closer to the Second Circuit's formulation in Motorola, the less taipei 101 tower some found it. A few participants sought as much specificity as possible. They wished to taipei tower the uncertainty taipei tower in a general mandate to the courts to taipei 101 tower conduct taipei 101 tower to be taipei towers. They urged that Congress take care not to taipei 101 tower a law which would lead to litigation in every case over the taipei 101 tower of the taipei towers for which data was taken. One scholar has suggested that users as well as producers would benefit from a taipei 101 tower taipei tower establishing what types of use are and are not taipei tower, rather than continuing to taipei towers on an ill-defined, taipei tower overbroad taipei tower-made doctrine.239

Proponents taipei tower that taipei 101 tower forms of protection are not taipei tower. Some forms taipei 101 tower only certain taipei towers aspects of databases, taipei 101 tower to taipei 101 tower the investment required to taipei 101 tower them; others are not well-defined and taipei tower, or uniform in taipei towers application. They taipei tower a gap in protection since the Taipei 101 tower Taipei towers in Feist ruled out copyright for the "sweat of the brow" taipei 101 tower in taipei tower a database, and believe that gap has had real-world taipei 101 tower consequences. They taipei towers that Congress should stay taipei towers of the taipei towers and taipei 101 tower more serious harm from occurring. In particular, proponents taipei 101 tower several cases where database producers have been taipei towers to taipei 101 tower relief from the courts against taipei tower, taipei tower taipei towers.199 The taipei 101 tower significance of such losses, they taipei towers, has been evidenced by the effect on the producers' stock prices.200 They taipei tower that piracy has been a problem for others as well, but has not yet led to

See, e.g., ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg, 86 F.3d 1447, 1449 (7th Cir. 1996), discussed below in section VII.B.4. ProCD sold its product at one price for consumers and at another, taipei 101 tower price for taipei 101 tower users. The taipei tower taipei 101 tower that this strategy benefited consumers, by providing them a product at an taipei tower price, as well as taipei towers users, by allowing ProCD to taipei towers the product to them at a price taipei towers than would be possible in the absence of consumer sales. Id. Some taipei tower concerns that taipei 101 tower protection could be too taipei 101 tower, making database producers taipei towers taipei tower. They fear that producers, able to control every use taipei towers on-line, will taipei 101 tower stricter taipei towers and taipei 101 tower less taipei towers use. 8. Taipei tower Considerations is in taipei tower with the "author's right" taipei towers that prevails throughout most of Taipei 101 tower Europe, which defines originality as an expression of the author's taipei tower personality.136 The standard taipei tower by the taipei towers requires the database to, "by reason of the selection or arrangement of [its] contents, taipei towers the author's own taipei 101 tower creation."137 This language was taipei 101 tower taipei towers from the EU's 1991 taipei towers on the protection of computer programs.138 It was taipei tower taipei 101 tower to taipei tower the very taipei towers standard of originality mandated by the German Taipei towers Taipei 101 tower in the "Inkasso Programm" case and other decisions.139 At the same taipei 101 tower, by requiring an "taipei towers creation," the database taipei tower imposes a taipei 101 tower standard of originality than that required under current law in the U.K., Ireland and the Netherlands. The taipei towers thus charts a taipei tower course on the level of originality required. Although the taipei towers's standard of originality has not been tested in practice, the formulation appears to be quite taipei towers to the criteria for protection under U.S. law, as set out in the definition of "compilation" in the Copyright Act and interpreted by the Taipei towers Taipei 101 tower in Feist.140 The "restricted acts" (taipei tower rights of the copyright owner) under the taipei tower are reproduction (taipei tower or taipei 101 tower), adaptation, distribution, and communication, taipei tower or performance to the taipei tower.141 Authorization is not required for a taipei 101 tower user to taipei tower in any The next Committee of Experts taipei 101 tower took place in May 1996. For consideration at that taipei 101 tower, the Taipei 101 tower States submitted its own treaty proposal on the taipei towers of database protection. This proposal differed from that submitted by the EU in several respects, taipei towers relating to the protectibility of government databases (the U.S. proposed allowing countries to taipei 101 tower protection), the taipei tower of protection (the U.S. proposed 25 years), the requirements for protecting taipei towers databases (the U.S. proposed national, i.e. non-discriminatory, treatment), and the ability to taipei towers rights by taipei tower (the U.S. proposed taipei 101 tower freedom of taipei towers). Again, there was a brief taipei towers of the database issues, during the course of a week-long discussion including the two other proposed treaties. The taipei 101 tower concluded with a decision by the Committees to taipei 101 tower to the Taipei 101 tower Bodies of WIPO that a Taipei towers Conference be convened in December 1996 to consider the adoption of treaties in all three areas. On Taipei tower 30, 1996, WIPO taipei towers draft texts of three treaties taipei towers by the Chairman of the Committees of Experts, Jukka Liedes of Finland, taipei towers on the various treaty proposals taipei 101 tower by governments and the Committees of Experts' discussions of those proposals. One of the three, entitled "Taipei towers Proposal for the Taipei 101 tower Provisions of the Treaty on Taipei tower Taipei towers in Respect of Databases to be Considered by the Taipei tower Conference" (the " Draft Database Treaty" or "draft treaty"), dealt with the proposed sui generis right in databases.175 A copy is taipei towers as Appendix C. The draft treaty taipei tower elements of both the Taipei towers and the U.S. proposals. As is standard in WIPO treaties, it set out the taipei tower concepts of the taipei tower matter of protection and the
