History of Copyright U.S. Copyright Office 2024-02-23 | Copyright law in the United States is as old as the country itself. Congress passed the first federal copyright law in 1790, which protected just maps, charts, and books. Since then, copyright has expanded to protect a wide range of creative works and provide exclusive rights, exceptions, and limitations that benefit both owners and users of copyright-protected works. This video highlights the evolution of U.S. copyright law and the establishment of the U.S. Copyright Office.Additional Resources:About the Copyright Office - copyright.gov/aboutFind Yourself in Copyright Exhibit - copyright.gov/history/copyright-exhibitU.S. Copyright Timeline - copyright.gov/timelineMusic Modernization Act - copyright.gov/music-modernizationCopyright Claims Board - ccb.govFor more videos on Copyright, Subscribe to our channel:youtube.com/channel/UCFBtCMrH0sf3CvA-K3s6r5g?view_as=subscriber**********************************For more information on Copyright, visit our website:copyright.gov**********************************Follow our X page: https://x.com/CopyrightOffice?lang=enAs well as our blog posts:blogs.loc.gov/copyright#USCopyrightOffice #Copyright #History #IP #IntellectualProperty
