Principal Work definition

Principal Work means a Book’s principal written work. A Principal Work can be a collective work, such as a collection of short stories or plays. A Book contains only one Principal Work but may contain other text, such as a foreword, afterword and annotations. A foreign language translation or an abridged version of a Principal Work is a different Principal Work. Two (2) or more Books that contain the same Principal Work but that each contains different or additional Protected Expression are considered to be different Books. By way of example, two (2) Books that have the same Principal Work (e.g., The Old Man and the Sea) but have different forewords or additional annotations (e.g., the Hueber Verlag and the Scribner editions) are different Books under this Settlement Agreement. A hard cover Book and a soft cover Book may have the same Principal Work, but are considered different Books under this Settlement Agreement (even if they contain no additional matter) if the hard cover Book and the soft cover Book have different ISBNs.

Principal Work is further defined in Question 8(C) below. For example, if you own rights in a poem that is contained in a Book for which you also hold a U.S. copyright interest, then your poem, as it appears in your Book, is not an Insert; however, it would be an Insert if the poem is contained in a Book for which someone else holds the U.S. copyright interest; and • Be registered, either alone or as part of another work, with the U.S. Copyright Office as of January 5, 2009, UNLESS the Insert or work was first published outside the United States, in which case such registration is not required. EXCLUDED from the definition of “Insert” are • Pictorial works, such as photographs, illustrations (other than children’s Book illustrations), maps and paintings. • Works that are in the public domain. For purposes of receiving payments for the use of Inserts, the Settlement identifies two types of Inserts: • “Entire Insert,” which is an Insert that is an entire work, e.g., forewords, afterwords, introductions, entire works included in anthologies, entire poems, entire short stories, the entire lyrics of a song, and entire essays. • “Partial Insert,” which is any other type of Insert. Partial Inserts include excerpts from a work (e.g., excerpts from a Book or magazine article, quotations, stanzas from poems or portions of a song’s lyrics). To determine whether your work is or may be included in the Settlement as an Insert, go to [LINK], contact the Settlement Administrator, or call the appropriate number at the end of this Notice (Appendix A).
