• "General Guide to the Copyright Act of 1976 (1977)" (PDF). (on renewal: "in practice, however, the second chance did not materialize because the author assigned the contingent rights in the renewal term well before his or her rights vested, and the assignee reaped the benefits of the renewal term if the author survived until the renewal vested. Moreover, failure to comply with the registration formality led to many forfeitures." (page 6-1, page 32 of the PDF)
