Abstract
PREFATORY NOTE
The official text of the copyright bill, presented to Congress on May 31, 1906, is reprinted in the following pages. Each separate section of the bill (in large type) is followed by the text of such parallel provisions as are found in the copyright laws now in force. These are supplemented by occasional notes referring to and quoting the earlier copyright statutes, and such other enactments as serve to elucidate either the present statutory provisions or the proposed legislation. All the provisions of the copyright laws in force are included, and it is hoped that this compilation may thus furnish an authoritative answer to the question how the provisions of the proposed statute compare with those of the laws now in force.
