GUEST,John Hernandez | copyright on manuscripts. (28) | RE: copyright on manuscripts. | 15 Mar 04 |
It is my understanding that in the USA you can only claim the copyright on that which you created or on that which you hired another to create in your behalf. I know, for example, that in the instance of a ltter written by Marilyn Monroe, a court ruled that the physical letter belonged to the recipient, but the copyright(i.e. the ownership of the literary work) belonged to Marilyn's heirs. |
