Other Reports and Publications
These are articles of general interest about copyright, including information on a centennial copyright exhibit, a general guide to the Copyright Act of 1976, a PhD thesis on copyright and the Library of Congress, and notable dates in American copyright (1783 to 1969), to name a few.
Announcements (MLs)
In 1969 the U.S. Copyright Office began a “Mailing List” to interested individuals to receive copyright-related announcements and certain Office publications. Over the years this encompassed announcements of adherents to international copyright treaties, information in the Federal Register, comings and goings of important Copyright Office personnel, and other items of interest to the copyright community. The MLs were discontinued in September 2003 with the publication of ML-761 as information became readily available through Office NewsNet
