Re: THEE BACKSLACPKPING WITH MEDIA

Dear Mr. Lopez:

Please accept our apologies for the delay in contacting you about this claim. We
are writing now because it is not clear whether you have obtained permission to use the
preexisting material contained in your new version of this work. The preexisting material
appears to be under copyright protection.

The copyright owner of a work has the exclusive right to make a new version of
that work (Section 106 of the copyright law, 17 USC). The law also provides that
copyright protection for a work that includes previously copyrighted material does not
extend to any part of the work in which this material has been used unlawfully (Section
103). This means that copyright protection will not extend to a derivative work such as a
translation, adaptation, or musical arrangement if the preexisting material under copyright
protection has been used unlawfully. For more information, please see Circular 22.
Please check any written permissions you might have from the copyright owners
to determine the extent of your rights with regard to using the copyrighted works. If you
have obtained such permissions, please confim this in writing and we will reconsider
registration.

If you are not authorized to use the preexisting material or your written
permissions indicate that you do not have the right to claim copyright in the new version,
we cannot register the claim as submitted. In accordance with our practices, we will close
your tile without further action. The fee is not refundable.

If you want to register a claim in your original text (commentary), please send a
new printed copy containing only this text. Also, please give us your authorization to
amend the “nature of authorship” line to describe the claim as “text” only. We will also
delete your statements in the “preexisting material” and “material added to this work”
spaces, assuming this text has not been previously published or registered.
