EMPIRE COPYRIGHT BILL
SOME OF ITS PROVISION'S. By Cable—Press Association—Opyright. London, April 7. A Copyright Bill, intended to secure the utmost uniformity possible throughout the Empire, has been read a second time in the House of Commons. Received 9, 5 p.m. London, April 8. The Copyright Bill seeks to effect the recommendation made at Berlin at the 1908 convention. It includes dramatised novels, translations, lectures, original adaptations of artistic architectural works hitherto excluded from copyright, and it protects musical works against mechanical reproductions. In the future a copyright is to subsist during the life of the author, and for fifty years thereafter. Powers will be given to the Comptroller of Patents to license the publication of books unduly withheld from the public. Mr. Buxton, president of the Board of Trade, said he believed the Bill would assist the publication of cheap editions.
