present law, a copyrighted work would be infringed by reproducing it in
whole or in any substantial part, and by duplicating it exactly or by
imitation or simulation. Wide departures or variations from the
copyrighted work would still be an infringement as long as the author's
"expression" rather than merely the author's "ideas" are taken. An
exception to this general principle, applicable to the reproduction of
copyrighted sound recordings, is specified in section 114.

"Reproduction" under clause (1) of section 106 is to be distinguished
from "display" under clause (5). For a work to be "reproduced," its
fixation in tangible form must be "sufficiently permanent or stable to
permit it to be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated for a
period of more than transitory duration." Thus, the showing of images on
a screen or tube would not be a violation of clause (1), although it
might come within the scope of clause (5).
