House Committee Begins Hearings on Vestal
B.ll on April 19—New Amendment Introduced
by Congressman MacGregor
and the opposition of the American Society of
Composers, Authors and Publishers.
A bill to amend section 1 of the Copyright
Law relating to reproduction was introduced
in the House on Monday, April 12, by Repre-
sentative MacGregor, of Buffalo, N. Y.
It provides that the sale of copyrighted music
compositions shall carry with it the implied
price to the purchaser or other lawful holder, to
publicly perform it for profit or otherwise, un-
less there shall be printed on the title page, or
otherwise conspicuously displayed thereon, a
notice that the rights of such public perform-
ance are reserved to the author or owner. In
event of any publication thereof for public per-
formance, there shall be imprinted on the com-
position, the bill says, a statement of the
amount of royalties prescribed. The bill pur-
poses that any person publicly performing such
composition without the consent of the copy-
right owner or who fails to pay the required
royalties will be liable to penalty provided for
infringement of copyrights.
