A:
If the United States declares "Théâtre D’opéra Spatial" as non-eligible for copyright protection, the implications for its use in your book or music album cover depend on the specific reasons for this declaration. Copyright laws are complex, and such a decision would typically be based on specific criteria, such as the work being in the public domain, lacking originality, or being created by the government.
In the event of using "Théâtre D’opéra Spatial" for your cover, the original submitter's ability to sue would depend on the basis of the non-eligibility decision. If the work is in the public domain, for example, there would generally be no grounds for a lawsuit. However, if the non-eligibility is due to other factors, the situation might be different.
It's important to consider that even if a work is not protected by copyright, there could be other legal considerations, such as trademark rights or rights of publicity, that might impact your ability to use the work. Consulting with a legal professional who can review the specific details of your case is always a wise step.
