- Estragon & Co. published an anthology titled House of Cards. It contains thirty articles about the Great Recession that were published in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times. Estragon’s employees selected the articles, organized them by subject matter, and prepared the footnotes for each article. Jonah Sarah wrote the introduction and assigned the copyright in his contribution to Estragon. The publisher submits an application to register the authorship involved in creating the collective work as a whole, and the authorship in Jonah’s introduction. Estragon excludes the articles from the application, because they were previously published and because the publisher does not own the copyright in that material.Title of work being registered: House of Cards.
