H/T to the Library History Buff blog for noting that 8 July was the 140th birthday of the Copyright Office. Both the centralizaiton of registrations in one office and the placement of that office in the Library of Congress have been of inestimable value to the American public. I am already looking forward to the big sesquicentennial birthday bash in 10 years.
