Welcome Journal of the Copyright Society The Journal of the Copyright Society (formerly known as the Journal of the Copyright Society of the USA, and before that, the Bulletin of the Copyright Society of the USA) is the world’s leading peer-reviewed journal exclusively devoted to the subject of copyright law. For over seventy years, the Journal has published landmark articles on copyright law by prominent academics, judges, industry leaders, practitioners, and government officials. More About the Journal Write for the 2026 50th Anniversary of the 1976 Copyright Act Now Accepting Articles for 2026 We are celebrating all year! There are two types of opportunities: suggest an article for one of our issues, or apply to be part of our conference at George Washington. We are interested in articles about the making of the 1976 Copyright Act, internationalization after its passage through amendments, the tech invasion, and really anything you can think of that is related to the 1976 Copyright Act over the last 50 years. We are also putting on the Future of the 1976 Copyright Act conference, hosted by George Washington University Center for Law and Technology on October 2-3, 2026. We are asking for proposals by October 15, 2025. The papers (and commentaries) will be published in the Journal.
