The United States Copyright Office

The United States Copyright Office website virtually teems with information about the multifarious intricacies and real world practicalities of copyright law. Here readers may Register a Copyright, Record a Document, Search Records, and Learn About Statutory Licensing. They may also engage in various Tutorials that are designed to help users navigate the site, such as an excellent Copyright Search Tutorial, which may be viewed in PowerPoint, Webpage, PDF, and OpenDocument formats. Beginners to the wide world of Copyright may benefit from the answers found in the Frequently Asked Questions section, where they can find explanations of such quandaries as "What is Copyright?" and "When is my work protected?" Finally the Law and Policy page includes a range of services, including sections dedicate to Copyright Law, Regulations, and Policy Reports, among many others. Interested readers may also find the Fair Use Index especially useful as it allows users to search jurisdictions and categories for particular cases and judicial decisions.
