required under the 1976 Copyright Act. This requirement was eliminated when the
United States adhered to the Berne Convention, effective March 1, 1989. Although
works published without notice before that date could have entered the public
domain in the United States, the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) restores
copyright in certain foreign works originally published without notice.
