# United States Code/Title 17/Chapter 1/Section 120

From the U.S. Copyright Office.: Added by the Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act (Pub. L. No. 101-650, Dec. 1, 1990, 104 Stat. 5133): for effect, see Amendment history.

### (a) Pictorial Representations Permitted.

The copyright in an architectural work that has been constructed does not include the right to prevent the making, distributing, or public display of pictures, paintings, photographs, or other pictorial representations of the work, if the building in which the work is embodied is located in or ordinarily visible from a public place.

### (b) Alterations to and Destruction of Buildings.

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106(2), the owners of a building embodying an architectural work may, without the consent of the author or copyright owner of the architectural work, make or authorize the making of alterations to such building, and destroy or authorize the destruction of such building.

## Amendment history

Section 120 was added by § 704 of the Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act (Pub. L. 101-650, Dec. 1, 1990, 104 Stat. 5133);
* The effective date provision of the Act states that its amendments apply to any work created on or after the date it was enacted, which was December 1, 1990. It also states that the amendments apply to “any architectural work that, on [December 1, 1990], is unconstructed and embodied in unpublished plans or drawings, except that protection for such architectural work under title 17, United States Code, by virtue of the amendments made by [the Act], shall terminate on December 31, 2002, unless the work is constructed by that date."
# United States v. Power/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
106 U.S. 536
United States v. Power
The United States recovered a judgment in the circuit court for the district of Massachusetts against Denvir, on his bond, given as surety for the faithful performance by David F. Power of all his duties as acting assistant paymaster in the navy of the United States. No service on Power or appearance for him and no defense by Denvir being made, judgment was rendered for the sum of money found to be in the hands of the paymaster, with interest from the service of the original writ in this suit, in March, 1875. The United States asserted a right to interest from the date of the last receipt of money by the paymaster, namely, August, 1865, and excepted because the court overruled this proposition. No evidence was given of any demand on the paymaster, or any refusal to pay or transfer the fund in his hands, or to comply with any lawful order on the subject.
Though the condition of the bond is not exactly the same as in the case of U.S. v. Curtis, 100 U.S. 119, the principle of that case must control this.
That principle is that where an officer of the government has money committed to his charge, with the duty of disbursing or paying it out as occasion may arise, he cannot be charged with interest on such money until it is shown that he has failed to pay when such occasion required him to do so, or has failed to account when required by the government, or to pay over or transfer the money on some lawful order. The mere proof that the money was received by him raises no obligation to pay interest, in the absence of some evidence of conversion or some refusal to respond to a lawful requirement. The obvious reason for this is that the government places the money in the hands of this class of officers and all others who are disbursing officers that it may remain there until needed for use in the line of that officer's duty, and until that duty requires such payment, or a return of the money to the proper department of the government, he is in no default, and cannot be required to pay interest.
The judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.
