(c) et (p) : quelles significations ?

Citation : © désigne une oeuvre sous copyright dans le droit anglosaxon

mais, pour les enregistrements, on utilise le symbole (p), qui signifie 'phonorecord' (phonogramme). il est suivi du nom du label détenteur du copyright (les droits de reproduction du master) et de l'année de premiere fixation.

le symbole © est aussi utilisé, mais dans le cas des phonogrammes, il sert à protéger les éléments visuels qui accompagnent l'enregistrement (artwork de pochette, lyrics, photos..).

dans le cas d'une réédition par exemple, on aura :
(p) 1951 capitol records (le détenteur du copyright original)
© 2005 universal music (le label qui réédite)

enfin, les éléments de publishing sont indiqués séparément:
...published by warner chappell

Citation : Phonorecords
Certain kinds of works for example, musical, dramatic, and literary works may be fixed not in copies but by means of sound in an audio recording. Since audio recordings such as audio tapes and phonograph disks are "phonorecords" and not "copies," the "C in a circle" notice is not used to indicate protection of the underlying musical, dramatic, or literary work that is recorded.

Copyright Symbol for Phonorecords of Sound Recordings
Sound recordings are defined in the law 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. Common examples include recordings of music, drama, or lectures. A sound recording is not the same as a phonorecord. A phonorecord is the physical object in which works of authorship are embodied. The word "phonorecord" includes cassette tapes, CDs, records, as well as other formats.

The notice for phonorecords embodying a sound recording should contain all the following three elements:

1. The copyright symbol (the letter P in a circle)
2. The year of first publication of the sound recording
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.
