COPYRIGHT LAW
INVESTIGATION PROMISED BY MI'NISTER INTERNAL AFFAIRS SOUND FILMS INVOLVED Wellington, Tuesday. It is reported that the Hon. Adam Hamilton is going into the question of copyright of musical items, and legislation will possibly be introduced making it clearer and practicable what is now a very uncertain position. It is pointed out that the Australasian Performing Rights Association controls the copyright of practically all musical items, and a definite portion of the radio license fees has to be paid for the use of items publicly performed. With the advent of sound films picture theatre proprietors are also directly concerned, though so far they have encountered no dffiiculties. The picture theatre industry wishes to see a tribunal established to adjudicate in cases where copyright demands may be considered unreasonable or where conditions are sought to he impo'sed which may not be in the public interest.
