Views, We Study How Preregistration Has Been Used from Its 2005 Inception to the End of 2012
COPYRIGHT PREREGISTRATION: EVIDENCE AND LESSONS FROM THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS, 2005–2012 * ** Dotan Oliar & Nicholas Matich In 2005 Congress created a new copyright formality: preregistration. Preregistration addresses a growing phenomenon in which copyrighted works are leaked to the Internet prior to official release. Preregistering a work allows copyright owners immediate access to courts and an expanded menu of remedies. Based on an originally constructed dataset coupled with user interviews, we study how preregistration has been used from its 2005 inception to the end of 2012. Over 6,000 works have been preregistered in six eligible categories. Several lawsuits were filed in reliance on preregistrations. Most preregistrations are of motion pictures and literary works. Substantial commercial use of the system has been limited to the movie and TV industries. The music, publishing, and computer software industries virtually have not used it in the ordinary course of business. A few particular users have preregistered a great number of works. Different from the use anticipated by Congress, preregistrations were often obtained after infringement (or even a business dispute) had already started. Most preregistrations were made by individual, small-entity, or other one-time users. The Article recommends that: (1) the duration of preregistrations should be limited; and (2) preregistration (and other copyright) fees should vary with entity size. It offers lessons for formalities and copyright reform: (1) Digital-age formalities may not give rise to the distributional concerns that characterized old formalities; (2) newly minted formalities may limit, rather than expand, access to expressive works; (3) the rates of subsequent registration of preregistered works vary across categories and can inform copyright lawmaking; and (4) the Copyright Office’s views may be affected by its institutional interest.

Dubbing Animation Into Spanish: Behind the Voices of Animated Characters Sofía Sánchez Mompeán, Universidad De Murcia
The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 23 – January 2015 Dubbing animation into Spanish: behind the voices of animated characters Sofía Sánchez Mompeán, Universidad de Murcia ABSTRACT In response to the burgeoning growth that the animation market has witnessed in recent years and to the competitive rivalry that exists within the industry, the presence of celebrity voices in animated movies is increasingly regarded as an effective strategy to broaden audience appeal. This paper attempts to determine if the use of celebrities in the original version may somehow influence the way the target text is dubbed in foreign markets. A clean-cut distinction between two key concepts that are sometimes overlapped, voice acting and dubbing, will not only provide the perfect backdrop for the upcoming sections, but will also offer useful context to understand their theoretical and practical limitations. The data under study will illustrate the current panorama within the Spanish dubbing framework by comparing the presence of both celebrities and dubbing actors in those Hollywood blockbusters released in Spain from 2007 to 2013. The results obtained suggest that some of the strategies used in the dubbed version might indeed be prompted by the original voicing. KEYWORDS Dubbing, voice acting, animated films, celebrities, dubbing actors, voice actors. 1. Introduction Animation is in vogue. The exponential growth that this genre has experienced over the last decade has even led to talk about a period of “animation congestion” (Verrier 2013). In the US, one of the leading countries in animation production, the total amount of movies produced per year since the turn of the new century has doubled from 18 films in 2000 to 37 in 2013, reaching its peak in 2011 with 45 productions, as shown in Figure 1.
