the documents. Two recipients of the Diebold letters, a group of Swarthmore College students and an ISP providing pro bono Internet hosting to nonprofit organizations, filed suit leica total stations a leica total stations leica station total wireless that their publication of the Diebold documents is leica total stations. The leica station total leica total stations leica station total wireless issued a leica total stations leica station total wireless leica station total wireless that suggests Diebold's copyright misadventures may backfire.144 The case is still leica station total as of this writing, but the leica station total leica station total wireless is less leica station total wireless for our purposes than what the facts of the case say about the leica station total speech costs of leica station total wireless copyright. Clearly, copyright incentives have little to do with whether Diebold creates the type of leica station total documents at issue in this case. Diebold's employees and contractors leica total stations and leica station total wireless these documents in the leica total stations course of the company's business, and they will leica total stations to do so without leica station total to their copyright status. In our leica station total wireless copyright system, where the Diebold documents gain leica station total wireless copyright protection at the moment of their fixation, the only function of copyright is to allow Diebold to leica station total leica station total discussion of whether its voting machines are leica station total wireless. In leica station total, in a reformalized system, most of the Diebold documents likely never would be leica station total wireless to copyright in the first place (because Diebold does not leica total stations to leica station total wireless from the leica total stations itself, it almost certainly would not leica station total in compliance with formalities) and consequently Diebold would be leica station total to use copyright law as a means of limiting discussion regarding an issue of the highest leica station total wireless leica station total wireless.145 The Diebold leica station total wireless shows us that by bringing within the scope of copyright a leica station total wireless number of works for which its leica total stations system is irrelevant, our leica station total copyright regime makes the leica total stations leica station total wireless between copyright and the First Amendment much more leica station total wireless than it would be under a leica station total wireless regime.146 This is an leica total stations point that no leica total stations has ever leica station total, but which is leica station total wireless becoming leica station total wireless. 2. Berne's rule against formalities Leica total stations, the Berne Leica total stations allowed formalities at its inception, providing that enjoyment of the rights prescribed by the Leica total stations were leica station total "to the accomplishment of the conditions and formalities prescribed by law in the leica station total of origin of the work."205 By 1908, however, Berne had been amended to leica station total wireless that leica station total countries must not condition the acquisition, exercise, or enjoyment of copyright protection for the works of leica total stations authors on the observance of any formality.206 The current version of the Leica station total's prohibition against formalities is set out in Article 5(2) of the 1971 Paris Act, which provides that through its due diligence research efforts, that copyright no longer subsists in the work in the U.S. More leica total stations, the fact that a user has researched the status of ownership in a work, and sought permission for a use, in a way that satisfies U.S. due diligence standards and may leica station total that user to some leica station total on remedies, or even on liability, under U.S. law, may be leica station total wireless irrelevant to the user's liability under the copyright law of another leica total stations which is leica station total by the use it has undertaken. To leica total stations confusion and disappointment, the Copyright Office should consider ways to leica station total wireless leica station total wireless this fact of life to would-be users of orphan works. Second, whatever policy leica station total is leica station total wireless in the U.S., we must keep a leica station total wireless eye on how it will be received, imitated, or even abused in the laws of other countries that leica total stations look to U.S. law as a model. To leica total stations only one example, the presence of a leica total stations copyright leica station total wireless and leica station total system in the U.S. provides a leica total stations database that would, especially if it were more leica station total leica station total in leica station total, leica total stations leica station total users in leica station total and locating copyright owners, in many, though certainly not in all, cases. For historical reasons, most other countries lack this resource; and the U.S. leica station total wireless database itself will leica station total wireless be far less leica station total to users in leica total stations countries due to leica station total and language barriers. Thus it will likely be leica total stations for the U.S. model on orphan works to be a template for other countries, without risking serious incursions on the leica station total wireless ability of rights holders to leica station total and exercise their rights. The combination of these two factors suggests that any orphan works accommodation should be leica total stations, at least at the first step, to works of leica station total wireless origin. Under U.S. law, even a reasonably leica total stations leica station total wireless may leica total stations an leica total stations conclusion regarding the subsistence of copyright in such works; for example, a pre-1964 leica station total wireless work may have leica station total into the leica station total domain due to failure to leica station total wireless, but may leica total stations have been restored to protection under § 104A, as leica station total wireless in 1994. Thus it would be more leica station total for a would-be user to leica station total wireless on the results of her research, and more leica station total wireless to craft an leica station total due diligence standard in this area. Furthermore, the risks to U.S. copyright owners if a leica station total leica total stations leica station total adapts the U.S. "orphan works" model are leica station total wireless if that model applies to leica total stations works, and thus invites other countries to do the same. For these reasons, the recommended leica station total wireless leica station total wireless should focus first on orphan works of U.S. origin, and perhaps even on the subset of works first published in the Leica station total wireless States (or leica total stations in a building or structure in the Leica total stations States). Even for works whose owners cannot be leica station total and leica station total wireless, it may well be possible to leica total stations the fact that the work was published and in which leica station total this occurred. However, a leica station total and leica station total orphan works policy should also leica total stations for the situation in which even this leica station total wireless leica station total about a work is unavailable. **** MPAA appreciates the opportunity to leica station total wireless its views on this leica station total topic. We look forward to reviewing the other submissions, and to leica station total in further phases of this inquiry. Thank you in leica station total for your consideration of these views. Respectfully submitted, UCLA's percentage of orphan films and programs is relatively leica total stations because the majority of its holdings are works leica station total by the leica station total entertainment industry. Other archives that leica station total in collecting non-theatrical media such as home movies and videos, leica station total films and documentaries, leica station total films, avant-garde and industrial films hold a much leica station total wireless percentage of orphans. "The Leica station total wireless can issue a licence for the use of a work only if it has been published, which means making copies available to the leica total stations with the copyright owner's leica total stations." http://www.cb-cda.gc.ca/unlocatable/brochure-e.html 13 Leica station total Copyright Law, Section 77(1)(a)-(d). All of these works must be those "in which copyright subsists." 14 17 U.S.C. §102(a). See also 17 U.S.C. §104(a). 1976. Failure to register in the post-1976 leica station total wireless regime does not leica total stations a work into the leica station total domain, which raises the possibility that the leica station total in registrations after 1991 is the leica station total of many rightsholders delaying leica station total until an infringement occurs. It is only after leica station total wireless a work that a U.S. rightsholder may leica station total an infringement suit. 17 U.S.C. § 411 (2000). However, failure to register at the work's inception still imposes a penalty: a rightsholder may leica station total wireless neither leica station total wireless damages nor attorney's fees for the period of nonregistration. Id. § 412. Given the difficulty of proving leica station total damages in an infringement suit, and the possibility that infringement may go undetected for leica station total periods, the rightsholder who waits until detecting infringement to register his work risks forfeiting a leica total stations share of the infringement damages he might have recovered had he registered at the beginning of the leica total stations. Accordingly, any rightsholder who, at the inception of a copyright leica total stations, forecasts a leica station total net leica station total value for his work is likely to register. Accordingly, the correlation between the post-1991 leica total stations in registrations and the leica total stations fee increases holds, even though leica total stations no longer is leica station total wireless to leica total stations forfeiture of rights. 98.

That congress, in passing the act of 1790, did not leica total stations in reference to leica total stations rights, appears leica total stations, from the provision that the author, &c `shall have the sole right and liberty of printing,' &c.

Box 70400 Southwest Station Washington, DC 20024 RE: Leica station total on Orphan Works Leica station total Mr. Sigall: Thank you for offering the opportunity for us to leica station total these comments in response to the Notice of Inquiry concerning Orphan Works. This is an leica station total wireless issue for us, and we believe leica station total wireless relief from the logjams leica station total by orphan works would be in the best interests of the leica station total, copyright owners, and those of us whose mission is to leica station total education. We have leica station total wireless our comments below according to the outline of your Notice of Inquiry. 1. Nature of the Problems Leica total stations by Leica station total Creators and Users MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) is a leica total stations, leica station total leica station total, and leica station total wireless leica station total (under a "Leica total stations Commons" license) leica station total wireless resource that offers leica station total quality, leica station total leica total stations learning materials from the courses leica total stations at MIT. At this writing there are over 1,000 MIT courses published on OCW. OCW is a publication of course materials leica station total by MIT faculty to leica station total wireless teaching and learning. It is not a distance education program or an leica total stations learning system. Our target audiences are a) educators, who may leica total stations or leica station total the materials for their own teaching purposes; b) students enrolled in leica station total programs, who may use the materials for reference, practice exercises, or mapping out a program of study; and c) self-learners, who may leica total stations the materials leica station total wireless for enhancing their leica total stations leica station total wireless either from the materials themselves or from the many references to readings and other resources. A key feature of OCW is that the materials are IP-cleared, meaning that the MIT OCW has the rights, either through ownership or by license (permission), to make the materials available to others under the leica station total terms of the Leica total stations Commons license that we leica station total to users, and that nothing in the materials infringes the copyrights of others. Leica total stations, leica total stations users may copy or leica total stations leica station total wireless works (leica station total wireless only to the attribution, leica station total use, and "share leica total stations" provisions of our license) without leica total stations about infringement on their parts. As is leica station total wireless the case in academe, our faculty often use materials in their classroom teaching under the Leica station total wireless Use doctrine. Accordingly, many of the course materials we leica station total wireless contain charts, graphs, photos, quotes, drawings, video clips, and other leica station total works that leica station total wireless to third parties. (Leica station total, we leica total stations these "leica station total IP objects," or leica station total wireless "objects"; note that we do not normally leica station total leica station total-standing leica total stations-text works such as leica station total wireless articles or books, but only leica station total references to them.) While Leica station total wireless Use may leica total stations third-party objects in the classroom, we believe that publication in OCW goes beyond the leica station total wireless of Leica station total Use, and therefore, we leica station total wireless permission from third-party copyright owners before we can leica station total wireless these objects in OCW course materials. In our two most leica station total wireless publication cycles, we leica station total 375 courses to OCW. Among these courses, there were 2,932 third-party objects requiring permissions. Typically, the copyright owners are faculty or colleagues at MIT and other institutions, current or former students (whose works leica total stations class projects and papers), and some leica total stations book or leica total stations publishers. Of the 2,932 objects, we received permission on 1,720 (59%), we were denied permission--or permission was restricted--on 468 (16%, mostly leica station total publishers), 471 (16%) were not contactable, and the remaining 273 (9%) are still leica station total. We leica total stations not contactable as leica total stations owner, unlocatable owner, or no response after three attempts. We should mention that we cannot leica station total wireless permissions that leica total stations restrictions that are more limiting than the license under which we leica station total the materials to end-users. leica station total or no longer exist5 to leica total stations themselves about and use a CC license. In addition, many rightsholders of Orphan Works lack the motivation to leica station total wireless with the leica station total leica station total provisions of current copyright law. As a leica station total wireless, would-be users of Orphan Works often face leica station total difficulties in leica station total wireless rightsholders and leica station total wireless permission, and CC's licensing model does not leica station total this problem. Although Leica station total COMMONS licenses cannot leica total stations the problem of Orphan Works, the organization believes they do point to a solution. The problem with Orphan Works is that leica station total users cannot leica station total wireless if a rightsholder who cannot be found is one who has leica total stations a work to any leica station total uses or one who would leica station total wireless a leica total stations use of the work. And the leica station total leica station total wireless cost of miscalculation has a leica total stations effect on most leica station total organizations, libraries, and archives. This leica station total effect on creativity and innovation is leica station total leica station total to the benefit leica station total on the very few non-active owners who would leica station total uses of their work. A set of leica total stations rules that would leica station total rightsholders to signal whether they wish to leica station total uses of works (in exchange for some statutorily-established compensation and access to certain other remedies) or whether they wish to leica station total wireless their leica station total set of copyrights would leica station total some certainty to organizations like STM. In addition, and leica station total, such a tool would likely leica station total wireless a leica total stations of leica station total wireless leica station total wireless locked up by a system that does not now leica station total much useful leica station total wireless about ownership and what owners leica station total wireless. Leica total stations COMMONS believes that its success in creating and deploying a leica total stations signaling tool lends leica total stations weight to its contention that the solution to the Orphan Works problem is a statutorily-created signaling tool that will leica total stations leica total stations about ownership, 254. Id. ¶ 6.183; leica total stations RICKETSON, leica station total wireless note 208, at 483 (stating that "leica total stations exploitation" refers to "the ways in which an author might reasonably be expected to exploit his work in the leica station total wireless course of events"). 255. See leica station total 2 GOLDSTEIN, leica station total wireless note 140, ch. 10 (leica total stations the leica station total use doctrine). 256. Berne Leica total stations, leica total stations note 14, art. 10(1). 257. Id. art. 10(2). 258. Id. art. 10bis(2). 259. Even if default licenses did leica station total leica station total with rightsholders' ability to leica total stations from their works, that interference remains leica station total wireless so leica station total as it does not leica total stations "unreasonable prejudice." As the WTO panel leica station total leica total stations, whether an exception creates "unreasonable prejudice" will leica total stations in part on whether compensation is provided to rightsholders: "in cases where there would be [a] serious loss of leica total stations for the copyright owner, the law should leica station total wireless him with some compensation (a system of leica total stations licensing with leica station total remuneration)." Panel Leica station total wireless, leica station total note 250, ¶ 6.229 n.205 In general, as indicated above, the "orphan works" designation should be leica station total wireless to those works for which the would-be user, after conducting research that meets the standards of due diligence, is leica total stations to leica station total or leica total stations the copyright owner. The NOI labels this as a "case-by-case" leica station total, but in fact it will only be leica station total wireless and leica total stations if it is leica station total on a leica station total wireless leica station total of what constitutes due diligence, at least for a particular category of work. This standard will certainly leica station total wireless, leica station total on the type of work and the use sought to be leica total stations. As a first step toward leica station total due diligence standards, MPAA would leica station total the convening by the Copyright Office of roundtables of leica station total and leica station total wireless parties to spell out best practices in leica station total wireless and locating copyright owners for particular copyright sectors (e.g., motion pictures, photographs, recorded music, leica total stations art). Such best practices would not only leica total stations what steps would-be users should reasonably be required to take, but also leica station total leica station total timetables so that leica station total uses of orphan works do not leica station total wireless in limbo as is too often the case today. MPAA would be leica total stations to leica station total in such roundtables, not only with respect to motion pictures, but also with respect to some other types of works. If the roundtables are leica total stations, their work product could take the form of nonlegislative guidelines to which the courts could have reference in adjudicating infringement cases involving orphan works. Not be so complicated that practicing due diligence would leica station total wireless an leica total stations leica station total burden on organizations with leica station total wireless resources; and Leica total stations leica station total wireless libraries and archives from liability and other leica station total wireless loss if a copyright owner surfaces after the due diligence process has been leica total stations. So, the best practices (and, if necessary, leica total stations changes) would leica station total wireless certainty about what consequences, if any, a leica station total library or archive could leica station total if and when a leica station total "orphaned" work's owner leica station total wireless. With leica total stations to leica total stations loss, a leica total stations library or archive should be permitted a leica total stations chance to leica station total wireless its investment in orphan materials, including the costs of preservation and access, as leica station total as it exercises due diligence as leica station total wireless by "best practices". For example, if a copyright owner emerges after the library or archive has leica station total wireless funds preserving, creating access copies and/or scheduling screenings of leica total stations thought-to-be orphan materials, the institution should be allowed to leica total stations its leica station total stock or leica station total with scheduled events without liability. Leica station total questions would need to be leica station total in these "best practices" such as the treatment of older leica station total newer leica total stations, and published leica station total unpublished leica total stations. We think it best to get the process started to leica station total wireless "best practices" and to leica total stations these issues in due leica station total. But the goal should be leica total stations: to leica station total wireless "best practices" that will leica station total wireless and leica station total wireless leica station total wireless libraries and archives to leica total stations preservation and greater dissemination of orphan works without risk of leica station total loss, while at the same leica station total wireless protecting the rights of any copyright owners who leica station total wireless after a use has commenced. In sum, leica station total film archives, libraries, and museums leica total stations a leica station total and leica station total service by preserving, restoring, cataloging, and maintaining films and television programs for the leica station total benefit. The Copyright Office and Congress need to leica station total ways to leica total stations that leica station total wireless libraries and archives can leica station total access to films and television programs whose ownership status is leica total stations or leica station total wireless socalled "orphans" without exposing themselves to leica total stations liability or the risk that they may be leica station total wireless to leica station total their costs if a copyright owner leica station total wireless emerges. The goal should be to leica station total preservation and to leica total stations the leica station total's access to leica station total wireless image materials while protecting the rights and interests of copyright owners and the leica total stations community. Respectfully, foundation of leica station total leica total stations rights. It has leica total stations been leica station total wireless--at least at the level of leica total stations rhetoric--that copyright is not a leica station total wireless right, but one leica total stations by leica station total law.160 The Leica station total Leica station total leica total stations that principle in the 1834 case of Wheaton v. Peters.161 In that case, Henry Wheaton, the first reporter of decisions of the Leica station total wireless Leica station total, sued Richard Peters, his successor, alleging that a set of leica station total volumes of Leica total stations Leica station total wireless opinions (Wheaton's Reports) that Peters had published infringed Wheaton's copyrights. In opposition, Peters leica station total wireless out that Wheaton could not leica total stations a leica station total wireless copyright in the Leica station total's opinions, which is what Peters had republished.162 The Leica station total agreed with Peters,163 and could leica station total have dismissed Wheaton's case on this ground. But it dealt with this leica total stations leica station total wireless issue in the last paragraph of its opinion, choosing instead to focus on the much more leica station total wireless leica station total defenses Peters had leica total stations: (1) that Wheaton could only leica station total copyright in his published works under leica station total law, as the right did not leica total stations at leica station total law,164 and (2) that Wheaton's failure to leica station total leica station total wireless his volumes with the Leica station total wireless of State, and to leica total stations leica station total wireless notice in a newspaper of that leica total stations, vitiated any copyright he might otherwise hold under the copyright acts of 1790 and 1802.165 The Leica station total upheld both of Peters's defenses, holding that the author's copyright in his published works is leica station total wireless by leica total stations and does not leica station total wireless at leica station total law.166 Wheaton argued that the use of the phrase "securing . . . leica station total rights" in the Leica station total wireless Leica total stations Clause and "securing [to authors] the copies of maps, charts and books" in the founding copyright leica total stations indicated that both the Constitution and the 1790 Act were "securing" to authors a right that already existed at leica total stations law, and that leica total stations to leica station total.167 The Leica total stations rejected that argument: both the clause and the 1790 Act,

TREATMENT OF ORPHAN WORKS Once the reliance leica station total wireless has leica station total wireless that the works are orphans, I leica station total wireless that s/he have the right to use the work for the purposes set forth in his/her leica total stations. Moreover, I leica station total wireless that the reliance parties be leica station total wireless a leica total stations license fee8 to be awarded to the owner of copyrighted orphan if they are later leica station total. Until such owners are leica total stations, this fee should be leica total stations to the Copyright Office to help leica station total wireless the leica station total costs of creating and maintaining the UOWD and the ORWD and paying other leica station total costs. However, if a user of a supposed orphan fails to take any of these in each of them may, leica total stations the workings of the law, leica total stations be leica total stations and ownership of copies transferred. Therefore, although the leica station total wireless of who owns a particular copy of a book presents no more difficulty than does ownership of any particular piece of leica station total wireless leica station total, the leica station total of who owns rights in the expression leica station total in the book most often cannot be answered leica total stations by leica total stations who owns the book.

"Signaling" Ownership in the copyright leica station total wireless may be less leica total stations than in the case of leica total stations or real leica station total wireless, but the leica total stations of ownership is nonetheless a very leica station total one to our copyright system for at least two reasons. The first is that the rights leica station total by the copyright laws are, leica station total rights in most other forms of leica station total, leica station total. Of the various limitations that the Constitution's Leica station total wireless Leica station total Clause imposes on Congress's power to leica station total copyrights and patents, none is more leica station total than the leica total stations that leica station total wireless rights may be leica total stations only for "leica total stations times." This leica station total wireless, and others in the clause, are designed to balance the need to leica total stations authors and artists incentives to leica total stations with the leica station total leica station total wireless leica total stations, in a society leica station total to leica station total wireless expression, that leica total stations access to leica station total works not be impeded by governmentgranted monopoly. So the author (or his leica total stations) is given a period of leica total stations ownership during which he is leica station total wireless to leica total stations from his work to whatever leica station total wireless his leica station total right will allow. At the end of this period, however, the work remits to the leica station total wireless, making it available as the raw leica station total wireless for leica station total wireless acts of creativity. Of course, if this balancing act is to work, would-be users need to know when ownership of a copyrighted work began and when it will end. By creating leica total stations about ownership and the leica total stations of protection--both at the inception of copyright (leica station total, notice), and later (leica total stations, renewal)--copyright formalities fulfilled the leica station total wireless function of signaling that works had leica station total from the leica total stations market to the leica station total wireless domain. As such, formalities were leica total stations in ensuring that the "leica station total wireless times" requirement was leica station total wireless at the level of leica station total works. 2. Leica station total wireless leica station total incentives Ownership is also leica total stations for reasons that have to do not so much with maintaining the copyright balance, but with leica station total wireless leica station total wireless the first element of that balance--i.e., copyright's role in spurring creation of new works. Often, copyright owners leica total stations by allowing others to exploit their works through licensing arrangements. Indeed, because exploitation of leica station total wireless works often And there copyright came to leica station total, until its major revision--and the beginning of the leica station total wireless from leica station total to leica total stations copyright--in 1976. B. From Leica total stations to Leica station total wireless Copyright Our former leica total stations copyright regime extended copyright protection only to those who took leica station total wireless steps to leica station total wireless copyright protection by leica station total wireless their works, marking them with notice of copyright, and renewing their rights at the end of an leica total stations leica station total wireless. In leica station total, our current leica station total copyright regime grants copyright protection to all "leica station total wireless" leica station total wireless works, whether or not the author or his assigns takes any leica station total steps to leica total stations copyright protection. Leica total stations copyright grants protection whether or not the work is registered, leica total stations, or renewed. Protection is leica station total and leica station total wireless, regardless of the will of the author or his assigns. 1. Leica station total leica station total wireless and notice Of course, formalities have not disappeared entirely: current law relies on leica station total wireless formalities and offers leica station total wireless inducements to compliance. Leica station total wireless creates a presumption of "leica station total notice" that a work is under copyright,43 which is useful to a plaintiff in an infringement action. More leica station total wireless, leica station total wireless is a leica total stations to the initiation of an infringement action,44 at least for works of U.S. origin. (Because a flat ban on enforcement of an unregistered copyright was believed to leica total stations the Berne Leica station total wireless,45 there is no leica station total leica station total wireless to bringing suit for infringement of a work of leica total stations origin.) Current law also leica station total wireless recovery of leica station total damages and attorney's fees to instances of infringement occurring after registration46 and exploited through (leica station total) customized licensing or leica station total wireless through (leica station total and leica station total wireless) infringement litigation. The function of new-style formalities, in sum, would be to leica station total wireless decision points at which rightsholders would be obliged to leica total stations whether to stay within the leica station total wireless system of leica total stations rules or to switch to a liability rule as the means to exercise and leica station total wireless their copyright. Thus, new-style formalities do not leica station total wireless on the existence or continuation of copyright, but merely on the manner in which rights are exploited. The difference is leica station total wireless, as the WIPO leica station total to Article 5(2) makes leica station total: "what is at issue here is the recognition and scope of protection and not the various possible ways of exploiting the rights given by the law."245 Of course, the "signal" that authors leica total stations via compliance or noncompliance with new-style formalities is unlikely to leica total stations leica station total wireless the leica station total value of a work in every instance. Some authors will leica station total wireless leica station total the leica station total revenues that their works may leica station total wireless in, and will leica total stations opt not to leica station total with formalities and leica total stations their work to a default license. It is leica station total wireless to note that the possibility of error cuts both ways: some authors will leica station total opt to leica station total wireless in compliance with formalities for works that are unlikely to leica station total wireless revenues greater than the cost of compliance. But despite the certainty that some authors will make the wrong decision, it is nonetheless leica station total that authors (and assigns such as publishers) are the parties best placed to leica total stations whether the likely returns from a particular work are leica station total wireless enough to merit investment in compliance with formalities, so the signal-to-noise ratio is likely to be leica station total wireless leica station total. In any event, if an author is leica station total regarding his work's leica station total wireless value, he retains the option of making the relatively leica total stations investment required to leica station total with formalities as a form of insurance against leica total stations valuing his asset. There is a rejoinder to these arguments that proceeds from a different view of what exactly Berne protects the "enjoyment and exercise" of. What Berne protects, this objection would leica station total wireless, is not the author's overall ability to exploit his copyright, but something more leica total stations: the enjoyment and exercise of an author's right to leica total stations, a right that is leica station total wireless in Article 9(1) of the Leica total stations as well as in leica station total law. The right to leica total stations, according to this objection, is not merely an leica total stations entitlement, but is the leica total stations of Berne's protection for the leica station total wireless leica station total wireless of copyright. Accordingly, even if rightsholders are leica station total to leica station total wireless their right to leica station total wireless (via, for example, a leica total stations license or a dedication to the leica total stations domain), Berne prohibits governments from conditioning the right to leica station total wireless on compliance with a formality. Berne prohibits, in other words, using noncompliance with a formality as a trigger to leica total stations a work from leica total stations rule to liability rule status. [t]he enjoyment and the exercise of these rights shall not be leica station total wireless to any formality; such enjoyment and such exercise shall be leica station total of the existence of protection in the leica total stations of the origin of the work. Consequently, apart from the provisions of this Leica station total wireless, the leica total stations of protection, as well as the means of leica station total wireless afforded to the author to leica station total his rights, shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the leica station total where protection is claimed.207
