603 June 9, 1995 JOINT STATEMENT OF THE COALITION OF CREATORS AND COPYRIGHT OWNERS IN SUPPORT OF H.R. 989. THE COPYRIGHT TERM EXTENSION ACT OF 1995 The undersigned parties, representing creators and copyright owners (collectively, the "Coalition of Creators and Copyright Owners" or the "Coalition") submit this Joint Statement in support of H.R. 989, The Copyright Term Extension Act of 1995. i' We express our gratitude to Chairman Carlos Moorhead, who has introduced this vital legislation, and to his co-sponsors. As we will show, H.R. 989 is necessary if our country is to maintain its preeminent position as the world's leading source of creativity, a position which gives the United States a significant trade surplus in the area of copyrights. The current term of copyright is, for most works, life of the author plus 50 years. 17 U.S.C. ยง 302(a). The Copyright Term Extension Act of 1995 would extend the copyright term by 20 years for all works. We strongly support such an extension. We do so because it is i' We also express our support for S. 483, the companion bill to H.R. 989, and our gratitude to Senator Orrin Hatch and his co-sponsors for introducing this much-needed legislation. We are especially thankful to all the cosponsors of both H.R. 989 and S. 483 for the broad Congressional support for copyright term extension.
