No, as I said before (c) applies to the art,trade dress, visual stuff and
(p) applies to the sound recording. Please direct your attention to:
Copyright Act of 1976 As Amended, 17 U.S.C.A. Sections 101-810; 1001-10
Specifically:
Section 402 Notice of Copyright: Phonorecords of Sound Recordings
(a) General Provisions. - Whenever a sound recording protected under this
title is published in the United States or elsewhere by authority of the
copyright owner, a notice of copyright as provided by this section may be
placed on publically distributed phonorecords of the sound recording.
(b) Form of Notice. - If a notice appears on the phonorecords, it shall
consist of the following three elements:
(1) the symbol P (the letter P in a circle);
[...]
(c) Position of Notice.- The notice shall be placed on the surface of the
phonorecord, or on the phonorecord label or container, in such manner and
location as to give reasonable notice of the claim of copyright.
Given that this is the idm list, I will not apologize for being
anal-retentive in my depraved need for redemption ;)
