Mr. TINDALE. It states it in a positive manner instead of a negative manner. The CHAIRMAN. Let me ask you how it gives any notice whatever that the purchaser can not rent or lend the book? Mr. TINDALE. It says that the performing rights are given only by purchase of this copy. The CHAIRMAN. But the original purchaser purchases a copy for every single member of the chorus. Mr. TINDALE. Then we have no objection. The CHAIRMAN. No objection to their loaning them? Then we can fix this in a moment. I want to ask where there is anything in that notice that would give notice to the purchaser that he could not rent or loan those books? Mr. SERVEN. He may loan or rent or do what he pleases, but the fellow that borrows is the fellow that that notice affects. The CHAIRMAN. Not at all. Mr. SERVEN. It is the fellow that wants to give the public performance. The CHAIRMAN. You call attention to a certain section of the Revised Statutes, and that has nothing to do with this matter at all--the very section you call attention to. Mr. SERVEN. Even with such a notice, it strikes me that that does not affect what the law does require. The CHAIRMAN. That is not the question. What the committee is getting at is whether you give the people you sell these books to any notice at all that they can not rent them? Mr. CHANEY. What information would that notice give them? Mr. TINDALE. I take it that they would have notice that they had to do something, Mr. Tams having bought the copy. The CHAIRMAN. I am not talking about Mr. Tams at all; I am trying to find out whether there is any notice to any musical society--whether there is any warning that they must not lend these books? Mr. TINDALE. The warning consists in the word "only"--can only be secured; and more recent copies---- The CHAIRMAN. I am not talking about the people that borrow; I am talking about the people that lend--the church society that buys the copies. Is there anything in that notice that would caution them that they must not lend these books? Mr. TINDALE. The notice has to speak for itself. We think that is a warning. Mr. SERVEN. We have no objection to the lending; that is not our point; it is the public performance from the copy that is loaned. Mr. WEBB. For charity or profit or any reason? Mr. SERVEN. For any purpose. It is the public performance that is the thing we object to. The CHAIRMAN. What do you think the public would borrow these for if not for public performance? Mr. SERVEN. They might want to look at them; somebody might borrow it to look it over. The CHAIRMAN. I don't think they would borrow many copies for that.
