> Given there is no requirement to register a copyright, and the US is subject to international treaty commitment that there won't be a requirement to register a copyright, how exactly is this proof provided to a private entity?
I'd suggest an affidavit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affidavit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affidavit).
This is, of course, not a proof in the strict sense, but should come near to it.
- lesuorac 5y agoI'm not too sure what the difference between that and the signature requirement is. > (i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- q-big 5y agoI only have shallow knowledge of the US law, but in German law, if you give the analogue of an affidavit (eidesstattliche Versicherung) instead of just a signed statement, you will face harsh legal consequences if the statement in it turns out to be false.
