Following the provisions for the indexing and cataloguing of the articles deposited, provisions are made, in sections 57, 58, and 59 of the draft for the public inspection of the copyright office record books and deposits; for the permanent use of such deposited articles; for their transfer to other Government libraries where unnecessary to the Library of Congress; and for the disposal of accumulations of useless articles. Section 60 provides for fees. A uniform fee of $1 for registration; but this is to include the certificate which is to be furnished in all cases [a separate charge is now made for it]. And the certificate is given a new importance as prima facie evidence of the facts which it sets forth, including deposit and registration, thus exempting the complainant in an action from other affirmative proof of compliance with these formalities. A single fee for certain registrations heretofore requiring multiple fees. B.--_Provisions of existing law which are omitted from the bill._ The existing law is set forth in the twenty-odd pages of "Copyright Office Bulletin No. 1." It consists of Article I, section 8, of the Constitution, sections 4948 to 4970, inclusive, of the Revised Statutes, and twelve later acts in amendment thereof. The substantial provisions of these which are intentionally abrogated are the following [references are to pages of the Bulletin, copy herewith]: [Section 4950, page 6.--Omitted in the bill, but exists still as part of the act of February 19, 1897.] Section 4952, page 6_A_.--Ad interim copyright. The requirement for notice (of date of publication and reservation of copyright) on the foreign edition is abolished. Section 4952, page 7.--Labels and prints relating to articles of manufacture no longer to be registered in the Patent Office, but in the copyright office, with corresponding reduction of fee. Section 4954, page 7.--Renewal term abolished. Section 4956, page 8.--Requirement that the deposit of copies shall be "on or before the date of publication" is abolished, and a margin of thirty days is allowed, with provisions for making good omissions within a year. The deposit (registration) is no longer to be the act entitling to a copyright. The copyright is to be "secured" by "the publication of the work with the notice of copyright affixed," and dates from such publication. Registration with deposit remains compulsory, and after the expiration of the thirty days no action for infringement can be brought until it has been made; but it is no longer expressed as a formality the failure to comply with which is to avoid the copyright.
