The bill attempts to be both. It is, as you see, divided into eight chapters, with some supplementary miscellaneous provisions. I say that it is divided into chapters--that is, recited in the contents of the bill as printed officially and set forth in marginal references in the bill as printed at the Library. These chapters deal with the nature and extent of copyright, the subject-matter of copyright, who may obtain copyright, how to secure it, the duration of it, the protection and the transfer of copyright, and the copyright office. I have furnished to your committee some analysis of it. That analysis is contained in the printed statement marked "Memorandum," of which there are additional copies here dated June 5, including those before you, containing some slight changes from those sent out to members of your committee. I would ask to have this one, dated on the outside June 5, considered the recent one. (The memorandum above referred to was, by direction of the committee, made a part of the record, and the same is as follows:) MEMORANDUM. A.--_Some leading features._ As the present law consists of but a group of statutes, and the proposed bill is systematic and organic in form, the changes which it introduces other than mere abrogations are not easily explained by mere reference to the existing statutes. Throughout attempt has been made to substitute general terms for particular specifications, to provide for a protection as broad as the Constitution contemplated, and to insure that no specification shall tend to limit unduly either subject-matter or the protection. Important respects in which the bill modifies or amplifies existing law are as follows: _Nature and extent._--Section 1, like section 9, is fundamental. The existing law (Rev. Stat., sec. 4952) specifies as the exclusive right "the sole liberty of printing, reprinting, publishing, completing, copying, executing, finishing, and vending;" of public performance or representation; and of dramatization or translation. The bill omits the specifications "printing, reprinting, publishing, completing, executing, and finishing," but attempts others intended to be fully as broad. [Please see sec. 1.] It adds the right of oral delivery in the case of lectures, and the right to make, sell, distribute, or let for hire any device, etc., especially adapted to reproduce to the ear any musical work, and to reproduce it to the ear by means of such a device; but these latter are limited to works hereafter published and copyrighted. The copyright is to protect "all the copyrightable component parts of the work copyrighted and any and all reproductions or copies thereof in whatever form, style, or size."
