C,4LENJ]AP. r/SDI'JEbL'AY ^OSTPO^TEE (Contimied)
Mr. CKIUDBLOM. Uo; this is not the hill that is on the calendar. This is the hill introduced hy the gentleman from ITew York and the number is H. R. 12425.
For the information of the Members of the House, from many of whom I ha.ve received inquiries on the subject, I here insert the amendment which I in¬ tend to offer to the copyright bill when it receives consideration by the House :
If, in any suit for infringement for the unauthorized broadcasting or mechanical reproduction of any copyright musical work or works, it shall appear that the suit is brought by or in behalf of any association, society, corporation, or combination which deals with or in the issue or grant of licenses for the broadca.sting or mechanical reproduction of such works and v/hich exorcises in the United States a substantial control of the performing, broadcasting, or mechanical reproduction riglits in such works or in any class thereof, recovery shall be limited to an amount which will justly compensate the plaintiff for the use made of such work or works aid shall in no event exceed the amount of a reasonable fee for a license which, under similar circumstances, would have authorized infringing act or acts complained of. In dotemnining the amount of such just compensation or of such reasonable license fee the prices currently pahd for similar rights under similar circumstances shall be con¬ sidered. Upon payment of a reasonable license fee, as found by the court, the infringer shall, in the discretion of the court, be en¬ titled to continue the infringing acts complained of, upon such terms, and for such reasonable license period, a.s the court shall deem just. Ho injunction shall issue in respect to airy works other than those proved to have been infringed.
Mr. PATTERSOil. Mr. Spealcor, further reserving the right to object, the only reason I withdraw my objection is because it is tiic wish of our chairman. This is very important legislation, and I would othemrise objeet.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Rainey). Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Hew York (Mr. O'Connor)?
There was no objection.
