Abstract
A preliminary draft of a proposed bill for the amendment and consolidation of the copyright law was submitted as a basis for discussion to the Conference on Copyright held at the call of the Librarian of Congress, in New York, on November 1 - 4, 1905, succeeding a previous one held May 31 - June 2, 1905. Some fifty persons were present, mainly representatives of associated interests concerned in copyright legislation. A lively interest was manifested, unanimity of opinion expressed as to the need for amended legislation, and valuable suggestions advanced. Many of these suggestions, together with others since transmitted, have been embodied in the present text. The result, which includes helpful criticism and suggestion from the Department of Justice and the Treasury Department, is here submitted for consideration at the coming session of the conference, in the hope that it may then be possible to complete and perfect a text for a just and adequate copyright bill.
