Section 60 of the bill provides that several volumes of the same book or a series of photographs, drawings, etc., relating to the same subject--with variances only in pose or composition--may be registered for one fee. But a connected series of instruction carded for educational use, a series of color prints to be used on toy building blocks, sliced animals, games of authors, and other card games are protected. There is no doubt that a new game, such as pit, flinch, etc., should be copyrightable as a unit, whether with or without rules for instruction, in such a manner that all the artistic work and literary work may be fully covered by copyright, although the items of the series are not physically connected, and are not each provided with separate copyright notice. While the experts in charge of the bill may be able to phrase this purpose in words more apt than those contained in the proposed amendment, there is no doubt that it is the intention of the framers of the bill to include the articles referred to in this letter, and also that the bill as it now stands does not cover such articles. Respectfully, BRIESEN & KNAUTH. _Proposed amendments to bill S. 6330._ Section 5, page 4, after line 7 insert "(m) Miscellaneous." Line 12, change period to colon, and add: "_And provided, furthermore_, That a series of copyrightable works, assembled for a unitary purpose, shall be considered as the subject-matter of a single copyright registration, fee and notice should the applicant elect, whether or not the items comprising said series are actually joined by binding or otherwise." Section 60, page 38, line 15, change period to comma, and add: "or of a series considered as the subject-matter of a single copyright registration as provided for in section 5 of this act, where the items composing it are deposited at the same time under one title with a view to single registration." Mr. Chairman, I ask leave to interpolate a word to the group of interests adverse to these "musical-device" provisions of the bill. I say it for the Government. And in order to avoid a syllable more than is necessary I have written it. The reasons, gentlemen, why your group was not invited to the conferences were made plain in my opening statement. First, the conference was a conference of associations, and your interests are not organized into an association. But, second, the conference was to be particularly of those interests concerned "in an affirmative way"--that is, in amplifying the copyright protection; and your interests are negative. We quite anticipated the issue raised by these provisions, but it was not an issue which seemed appropriate to the conference nor for other reasons one likely to be settled by the conference.
