I would never assume any "claim of protection under copyright" if an explicit statement about copyright does not appear on the resource. Our bibliographic descriptions are exactly that: bibliographic DESCRIPTIONS. There may be some agencies that might require specific copyright information that doesn't appear on the resource, but libraries generally are NOT those agencies. Anyone using library metadata as a resource for researching copyright information is looking in the wrong place!

From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of Joe Scott Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 2:52 PM To: RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: [RDA-L] [MOUG-L] RDA copyright/phonogram symbols not on item I’ve sent this message to both MOUG-L and RDA-L. Apologies for the duplication to those who subscribe to both. 2.11.2.1 reads: “A copyright date▼ is a date associated with a claim of protection under copyright or a similar regime. Copyright dates include phonogram dates (i.e., dates associated with claims of protection for audio recordings).” Can one fairly assume a “claim of protection under copyright” has been made if neither symbol appears anywhere on the item? If so, is the phonogram symbol the default for recordings? Joe Joseph W.
