; Celebrating the Women Leading the Copyright Office
"To celebrate Women’s History Month, I wanted to write about the five
women who have served (and are serving) as leaders of the U.S. Copyright
Office. Women have led this Office consecutively since November 1993,
and their accomplishments are nothing short of incredible. These five
lawyers (who all attended either Columbia Law School or George
Washington Law) have contributed over 100 years of public service to the
Copyright Office, counting all their roles. Here is just a snapshot of
their accomplishments and contributions to copyright."

Register of Copyrights Karyn Temple Is Leaving; Publishers Weekly, December 9, 2019
Andrew Albanese, Publishers Weekly; Register of Copyrights Karyn Temple Is Leaving
"Just months after her permanent appointment as Register of Copyrights, Karyn Temple is leaving for a new position as the global general counsel of the Motion Picture Association...
Of course, the big question may be whether Temple’s departure will spur another attempt to remove the Register of Copyrights position out of the purview of the Library of Congress.
In October of 2016, Hayden’s abrupt removal of then-register, Maria Pallante (who is now president and CEO of the Association of American Publishers) angered many in the content and entertainment industries, who viewed Pallante as an ally. What followed was a campaign by lobbyists to paint Hayden as “anti-copyright,” and a subsequent bill, the Register of Copyrights Selection and Accountability Act (HR 1695), which proposed to take the register of copyrights position out of the purview of the Librarian of Congress and make it a presidential appointment. That bill died in the Senate last year, but for more than two years it effectively blocked Hayden from appointing a permanent successor to Pallante."
