Re: copyright notice]

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@orednet.org>]

    A number of ppl have asked that I share information re: the
wording of a copyright notice sigh. I found the text in the
Federal Registry. It's posted below. DEMCO and others sell
signs and according to Carol Simpson,  SUDANCO, a sticker company
produces many copyright-appropriate stickers. (800-275-2824).

WORDING:

 (b) Contents. A Display Warning of Copyright and an Order Warning of
Copyright shall consist of a verbatim reproduction of the following
notice, printed in such size and form and displayed in such manner as to
comply with paragraph (c) of this section:

            notice warning concerning copyright restrictions

    The copyright law of the United States (title 17, United States
Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of
copyrighted material.
    Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and
archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction.
One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction
is not to be ``used for any purpose other than private study,
scholarship, or research.'' If a user makes a request for, or later
uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of ``fair
use,'' that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
    This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying
order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve
violation of copyright law.

    (c) Form and manner of use. (1) A Display Warning of Copyright shall
be printed on heavy paper or other durable material in type at least 18
points in size, and shall be displayed prominently, in such manner and
location as to be clearly visible, legible, and comprehensible to a
casual observer within the immediate vicinity of the place where orders
are accepted.
    (2) An Order Warning of Copyright shall be printed within a box
located prominently on the order form itself, either on the front side
of the form or immediately adjacent to the space calling for the name or
signature of the person using the form. The notice shall be printed in
type size no smaller than that used predominantly throughout the form,
and in no case shall the type size be smaller than 8 points. The notice
shall be printed in such manner as to be clearly legible,
comprehensible, and readily apparent to a casual reader of the form.
