Audiovisual works
From The IT Law Wiki
Section 101 of the 1976 Copyright Act, defines the term audiovisual works as:
- works that consist of a series of related images which are intrinsically intended to be shown by the use of machines, or devices such as projectors, viewers, or electronic equipment, together with accompanying sounds, if any, regardless of the nature of the material objects, such as films or tapes, in which the works are embodied.
The House Report notes that the key to the subcategory motion pictures is the conveyance of the impression of motion, and that such an impression is not required to qualify as an "audiovisual work."[1]
