Nevertheless, the catalogue of distribution actions in 17 U.S.C. § 106 (3) intends to include all possible forms of distribution.
- The author has the rights to display, perform, show or play and communicate the work (17 U.S.C. § 106 (4)-(6)) but for public use. That means that the private display, performance or communication of the work is no infringement of exclusive rights of the author. What is meant by “publicly”is defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101 but as this definition is not all-embracing is also a case law question
//To perform or display a work ‘‘publicly’’ means—
(1) to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered; or
(2) to transmit or otherwise communicate a performance or display of the work to a place specified by clause (1) or to the public, by means of any device or process, whether the members of the public capable of receiving the performance or display receive it in the same place or in separate places and at the same time or at different times.//||

- The right to reproduce copies (17 U.S.C. § 106 (1)) includes only the “exact or substantial similar” copy. The border between “substantial similar” (Walker v. Time Life Films, Inc., 784 F.2d 44 (2d Cir. 1986)) and “not so similar” needs definition by the courts.
//“It is of course essential to any protection of literary property, whether at common-law or under the statute, that the right cannot be limited literally to the text, else a plagiarist would escape by immaterial variations. (…) Then the question is whether the part so
taken is "substantial," and therefore not a "fair use" of the copyrighted work; it is the same question as arises in the case of any other copyrighted work. (…)Even so, granting that the plaintiff's play was wholly original, and assuming that novelty is not
essential to a copyright, there is no monopoly in such a background. Though the plaintiff discovered the vein, she could not keep it to herself; so defined, the theme was too generalized an abstraction from what she wrote. It was only a part of her "ideas."

The focus of the exclusive rights of the author is clearly on his economic position. All exclusive rights have a least an economic impact. As the US Copyright Law does not differ between author’s rights and related rights the catalogue of exclusive rights is applicable to all copyrightable works. To all economic rights there are limitations in 17 U.S.C. §§ 107-112 (see later) but some of the economic rights are per se limited in their scope:
- The right to reproduce copies (17 U.S.C. § 106 (1)) includes only the “exact or substantial similar” copy. The border between “substantial similar” (Walker v. Time Life Films, Inc., 784 F.2d 44 (2d Cir. 1986)) and “not so similar” needs definition by the courts. ||

||The number of specific moral copyrights is limited. Solely the right to authorize derivative works (17 U.S.C. § 106 (2)) has a moral right impact but also a strong economic aspect. Only authors of works of visual arts have a more distinct moral position: they have also the rights to be identified as author, to hinder false attributions of works and to protect the integrity of the work (17 U.S.C. § 106A). In all other cases of infringements of the author’s personality or his relation to the work, the author has solely the actions of libel and slander (common law defamation rules).

||The US Copyright Law enumerates the exclusive rights of the author in 17 U.S.C. § 106. Any use of the work that is not included in the catalogue of this provision is not within the scope of the copyright of the author, meaning that the work can be used in every other way without any infringement.||
