Renewal registration for a script, a speech, or an interview first published in a motion picture (such as a news broadcast or documentary) is not possible unless the underlying literary work was registered separately in class C prior to publication, or the motion picture as first published contained a separate copyright notice for the literary work. See Section 2122.6 (C). Renewal registration may not be based on the original registration record for the motion picture.
