The United States Virgin Islands is a group of islands in the Caribbean. Legally they are an unincorporated and organized territory of the United States. They are subject to United States federal law, but may also enact local laws.
Of the organized territories, the United States Copyright Office says that: "U.S. federal copyright law applies in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands but not in American Samoa."[1] This is because US federal copyright law applies to "the organized territories under the jurisdiction of the United States Government," (17 U.S.C. 101) and the Virgin Islands became an organized territory with 48 U.S.C. 1541.[2] Copyright is governed by the US Copyright Act 1976, a Federal statute, and subsequent amendments.
