Antonio had just finished a reading of his original stage play in a local park. Afterwards he passed out copies of the same for the audience to enjoy at home. A member of the audience, Claudia re-typed the play and submitted it to a local college magazine for publication in her name. What are Antonio's rights under the copyright law?
Antonio is protected under copyright law. Copyright protection begins as soon as the work is fixed in a tangible medium. Clearly, this has happened since he passed out copies. However, in order to obtain statutory damages and attorneys' fees for copyright infringement, Antonio would have had to register his work. If a proper copyright notice appeared on the published copies, Claudia would be unable to mitigate damages by asserting a defense of innocent infringement.
