682 Page 1 17 U.S.C. 304(b) SHOWING THE EFFECT OF H.R.989 17 U.S.C. ยง304 (b) Copyrights in Their Renewal Term or Registered for Renewal Before January 1, 1978. The duration of any copyright, the renewal term of which is subsisting at any time between December 31, 1976, and December 31, 1977, inclusive, or for which renewal registration is made between December 31, 1976, and December 31, 1977, inclusive, is extended to endure for a term of seventy-five 95 years from the date copyright was originally secured. Deletions proposed by HR989 shown in strikeout; insertions in boUtface type. Currently, works published before 1920 would be in the public domain, since their copyrights have expired. Many, if not all, of the now-expired copyrights dating from between September 19, 1906 and 1919 would have been subsisting in their renewal terms in the timeframe of 17 US.C. 304(b), due to a series of interim extension bills enacted previously. The amendment to 17 USC 304(b) proposed by HR989 makes no distinction between presently subsisting copyrights and copyrights which expire prior to the effective date.
