The Copyright Act of 1976 forms the basis of copyright law in the United States today. It took effect on January 1, 1978, implementing fundamental and sweeping changes in many aspects of copyright law. Copyright protection extends to all “original works of authorship” to take into account new kinds of media.
The Copyright Act of 1976, Public Law 94-553 (90 Stat. 2541), is a general revision of the copyright law, Title 17, United States Code; it becomes fully effective on January 1, 1978. The new law supersedes the Copyright Act of 1909, as amended, and is the first extensive revision of the 1909 law.

Why was the copyright law revised in 1976?

The law was intended to bring Federal statutes up to date in a more technologically sophisticated world than the one which, in 1909, had seen the last Federal overhaul of copyright law.
Under this change in copyright law, works existing in a wide variety of media could be subject to the protection of copyright law.

Typographical symbol (℗)

The sound recording copyright symbol or phonogram symbol, nounderlines style=border:1px solid #ddd;background-color:#fdfdfd>℗, is the copyright symbol used to provide notice of copyright in a sound recording (phonogram) embodied in a phonorecord.
It was first introduced in the Rome Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organisations.
The United States added it to its copyright law as part of its adherence to the Geneva Phonograms Convention in 17 U.S.C. § 402, the codification of the Copyright Act of 1976.
