_Subject-matter of copyright._--A general statement that it is to include "all the works of an author," leaving the term "author" to be as broad as the Constitution intended. Certain specifications follow, but coupled with the proviso that they shall not be held to limit the subject-matter. The specifications [sec. 5] substitute, so far as possible, general terms for particulars. They omit, for instance, the terms "engravings, cuts, lithographs, painting, chromo, statue, and statuary." They assume, however, that these will be included under the more general terms as "prints and pictorial illustrations," or "reproductions of a work of art," or "works of art," or "models or designs for works of art." The term "works of art" is deliberately intended as a broader specification than "works of the fine arts" in the present statute, with the idea that there is subject-matter (e.g., of applied design, yet not within the province of design patents) which may properly be entitled to protection under the copyright law. Express mention is made of oral lectures, sermons, and addresses; periodicals, including newspapers; drawings and plastic works of a scientific or technical character, and new matter contained in new editions. Labels and prints relating to articles of manufacture hereafter to be registered in the copyright office instead of in the Patent Office. Additions, revisions, abridgments, dramatizations, translations, etc., to be regarded as new works. [Sec. 6.] _Who may obtain copyright._--As broad as heretofore. International reciprocal arrangements confirmed. The privilege extended to any foreign author who is living in the United States at the time of the making and first publication of his work, or first or contemporaneously publishes here. _How to secure copyright._--The copyright is to be "secured" by publication of the work with the notice affixed. This section, 9, with section 14, is fundamental. Sections 10, 11, and 13 prescribe subsequent procedure in the copyright office. Registration is provided for works (e.g., works of art) of which copies are not reproduced for sale, with the requirement that the notice shall be affixed to the original "before publication thereof." [Sec. 10.] The deposit to be not later than thirty days after publication; in the case of a periodical not later than ten days. The copies deposited to be of the "best edition," as required by the act of 1870. [Sec. 11.] In case of error or omission to make the deposit within the thirty days, permission to make it within a year after first publication, but with the proviso that no action shall be brought for infringement until it has been made. [Sec. 15.]
