INDEX – Volume 9, October 1961-August 1962, Page 500

It is 1961.  The Studies are well underway.  And the conversations about how copyright might be revised are in the thick of it.   The call is for a general revision of copyright.  Some of the key issues include eliminating the dual system of federal versus state common law copyright, changing the term from 56 years to a life+50 system, clear fair use guidelines, the debate on formalities and a clearer definition of ownership, and the question of evolving technologies,  including photocopying, sound recordings, broadcasting, and computer programs.
