Copyright Regulations, 2010 (L.I. 1962)
Regulation 2—Deposit of work
(1) An applicant for registration of copyright and related rights shall deposit:
(a) in the case of published works, two complete copies of the best edition;
(b) in the case of unpublished works, one copy of the work;
(c) in the case of sound recording or audio-visual works, two complete phonograms of the best edition and any printed or perceptible material published with the phonograms;
(d) in the case of a group of works by an individual which is a contribution to newspapers or periodicals within a twelve month period, one copy of
(i) the entire issue of the newspaper or periodical, or
(ii) the entire section of the newspaper or periodical
in which the contribution was published.
(2) An applicant for registration of copyright or related right in respect of a group of works under subregulation 1 (d) shall in the application identify each work seperately by the newspaper or periodical containing the work and the date of first publication.
(3) Despite sub-regulation (1), the Copyright Office may permit an applicant for registration to deposit photographs or illustrations of the work for which copyright or related right is to be registered instead of a copy of the actual work, where the Copyright Administrator reasonably believes that the deposit of two copies may impose hardship on the owner of the copyright or related right.
