different from that for other works. Sound recordings are defined as
"works that result from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken or
other sounds, but not including the sounds accompanying a motion picture
or other audiovisual work." Copyright in a sound recording protects the
particular series of sounds fixed in the recording against unauthorized
reproduction, revision, and distribution. This copyright is distinct
from copyright of the musical, literary, or dramatic work that may be
recorded on the phonorecord.

Phonorecords may be records (such as LPs and 45s), audio tapes,
cassettes, or disks. The notice should contain the following three
elements appearing together on the phonorecord:

1. *The symbol* (the letter P in a circle); and

2. *The year of first publication* of the sound recording; and

3. *The name of the owner of copyright* in the sound recording, or an
abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally
known alternative designation of the owner. If the producer of the
sound recording is named on the phonorecord label or container and if
no other name appears in conjunction with the notice, the producer's
name shall be considered a part of the notice. Example: (P in a
circle symbol) 1999 X.Y.Z. Records, Inc.
