Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Massachusetts

Assignment of Copyright

We are a non-profit in MA. We are purchasing author's contributions to a book of essays and articles about classic films. We need to know if a generic Assignment of Copyright form will be appropriate because most contributors are from other states, not Massachusetts.

Copyright law is federal, not state, so there is really no concern on that basis.
