Copyrights FAQs


Question: Can I submit my manuscript on a computer disk?

Answer:"No. Floppy disks and other removal media such as Zip disks, except for CD-ROMs are not acceptable. Therefore, the Copyright Office still generally requires a printed copy or audio recording of the work for deposit. "

Register of Copyrights Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

Marybeth Peters, Register of Copyrights in the U.S. Copyright Office, has been presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Los Angeles Copyright Society. The award was presented on March 11 at the organization's spring conference in Carlsbad, Calif., at which the Register delivered the keynote address.

“I am grateful to the Society for recognizing me with this prestigious award,” said Peters. “I am extremely fortunate to have a job I love in a magnificent institution with a talented and hardworking staff.”

Speaking at the awards ceremony, Copyright General Counsel David Carson referred to Peters’ ability to bring people together. “Marybeth has drawn the praise of congressional leaders in the field of intellectual property from both sides of the aisle, and from the House and Senate.”

Peters, who recently celebrated 40 years of service in the Copyright Office, received written tributes on the occasion from Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, former and current members of Congress and key figures in the copyright community. She was recognized by Congress with the following remarks by Rep. Vernon Ehlers (R-Mich), which were entered into the Feb. 14, 2006, issue of the Congressional Record. Read more at loc.gov
