Abstract
This chapter focuses on cinematograph film and television film production. Cinematograph films and television productions—which are shot on film, or recorded on tape—are regarded for the purposes of the copyright act as cinematograph films. The producers of cinematograph films of every kind must acquire sufficient rights in the other works that would form a part of their productions so that they might exploit their films for the purposes for which they are intended. A short form assignment should always be obtained when acquiring the rights in a work so that this can be registered at the library of Congress in Washington as the assignment of copyright. The cinematograph film rights do not include the broadcast rights. Therefore, radio or television broadcasts can be made or licensed by the author even after the sale of the cinematograph film rights.
