1509.2 (F) (4) (F) Quality of the Copy Deposited Under the Motion Picture Agreement
If an applicant has signed the Motion Picture Agreement and submits a deposit copy without requesting the return of that copy, the motion picture is considered a “non- agreement” film and is treated as though there is no Agreement on file.
The standards governing the quality of a non-agreement film are set forth in Sections 1509.2 (F) (1) and 1509.2 (F) (2), and the special “archival quality” standards set forth in the Motion Picture Agreement and Appendix A thereto do not apply. That said, any copy recalled by the Library of Congress under the Agreement must meet all the technical guidelines set forth in Appendix A to the Agreement.
