of publication is omitted from the notice, the notice is acceptable with respect to the textile or fabric.
2207.8 Multi-Part Works
One notice per unit of publication is adequate for multi-part works [e.g., box sets, multimedia kits, score, and parts) published in copies or phonorecords, provided that a proper notice is used and it is affixed in a manner and location that gives reasonable notice of the claim to copyright in the entire unit of publication.
Although one notice per unit of publication is legally sufficient, placing a notice on each part of a multi-part work ensures that the public is put on notice that the copyright owner has asserted a claim to copyright in each part of the unit.
Examples:
• A notice on the first disk of a twelve disc collection is acceptable for the entire collection, but a notice on the sixth disc of a twelve disc collection is only acceptable for that disc.
• A notice properly positioned on a unit consisting of a musical score and parts is acceptable for the entire unit, but a notice only on one or more of the parts is acceptable only for those parts.
• A notice on the permanent container or box for a multimedia kit is acceptable.
2207.9 Works Published in Machine-Readable Copies
For works published in machine readable copies, such as semiconductor chips, optical discs, magnetic tapes, or similar storage media that cannot ordinarily be perceived without the aid of a machine or device, a notice may be acceptable if it appears in the following manner:
• The notice is embodied in visually perceptible printouts of the work, provided that it appears either with or near the title or at the end of the work.
• The notice is displayed at the user's terminal at sign-on.
• The notice continuously appears on a terminal display.
• The legible notice is reproduced durably, so as to withstand normal use, on a gummed or other label securely affixed to the copies or to a box, reel, cartridge, cassette, or other container used as a permanent receptacle for the copies.
37 C.F.R.§ 201.20(g).
NOTE: Works that require the use of a machine or device to optically enlarge the work, such as films, filmstrips, and works published in any variety of microfilm, are not considered machine-readable works.
