, Third Edition The U.S. Copyright Office may grant a request for special relief in certain situations and at its discretion. However, the applicant should be aware that prevailing in a copyright infringement action requires proof that the plaintiff s work and the defendant's work are substantially similar. If the content of a website has not been adequately preserved, the copyright owner may be unable to demonstrate what existed on that website at a particular point in time, even if the Office registered that content under a grant of special relief.
