NOTICE: WARNING CONCERNING COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS.
Filmscripts (dialogue scripts, cutting continuities, etc.) for motion pictures licensed by the State Education Department Motion Picture Division are covered by the Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code). The Copyright Law governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or other reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement. The New York State Archives reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order might involve violation of copyright law. See below for specific provisions of U.S. Copyright Law and policy of New York State Archives regarding reproduction of filmscripts protected by U.S. Copyright.
