MEMORANDUM OF THE PROCEEDINGS, PRESENTED To BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT July, BY COMMAND OF HIS MAJESTY, 1910, As long ago as 1878 a Royal Commission reported that the British Copyright Law stood in urgent need of revision and amendment. It has not hitherto been possible to give full effect to the recommendations of the Royal Commission, owing to the difficulty of the questions involved, but a new importance has been given to the matter by the revision of the International Copyright Convention, carried out by the International Conference held at Berlin in October and November 1908. a of of in to on a of as all The revised Convention, which was signed ad referendum by the British delegates on behalf of His Majesty's Government, embodies certain alterations which cannot be put into force in the British Empire without a change in the existing law. The revised Convention was examined, from the point of view of the interests of the United Kingdom, by a strong Departmental Committee, presided over by Lord Gorell, which reported in December, 1909, substantially in favour of the ratification of the Before, however, any action could be taken to carry out the recommendations of the Convention.

This Conference took place 1908, and was very representative character. Perhaps, may just Berlin that connection, refer the great loss we feel the copyright question has sustained the death Sir Henry Bergne, who was the chief British delegate that Conference. proposed The result that Conference was the drafting revised Convention which shall supersede the various other Agreements and Conventions which are now force. The British delegates were authorised sign that Convention subject subsequent ratification, after consideration His Majesty's Government and those representing the Dominions, was thought ratify, ratify subject advisable certain reservations. provide single document The advance which was made the Berlin Convention was partly embody important amendments. instead the three that previously existed, and partly number regards the United Kingdom especially, various proposals were adopted which The result was that, proposed are somewhat new our laws. One the principal alterations which the Berlin Convention indeed, many proposals are dependent it is the entire abolition, Inter say, that there should necessity national relations, what are called formalities, that for registration other formalities order obtain retain copyright. The Convention dealt also with the question the date from which copyright should run, whether from the end the author's life from publication, and with the question the period copyright. The proposal made was that copyright should run for life and for fifty years afterwards. you know, differs copyright. This proposal, considerable extent from our existing system literary works, and grant give the protection There are also proposals wider copyright copyright for instance, music against its reproduction without payment mechanical means. Some these points are new, far we are concerned, are differently treated under our law. All these points, and others which need not now refer, were very carefully examined strong Departmental Committee appointed the Board Trade and presided over Lord Gorell. This Committee came unanimously the conclusion that the Berlin Convention should ratified think, with regard and, further, they came very nearly every point, substantial agreement these various questions connected with the proposals the Convention. That the International position. With the Imperial position you are familiar and you are now, have beset the path, and which have rendered aware the very great difficulties which, impossible difficult deal with the reform the Copyright Law. But there another strong reason for dealing with the question. As long ago 1878 Royal Commission reported that the British Copyright Law stood urgent need reform, but, �( ) 3 owing to the difficulties of the question inherent, International and Imperial scarcely anything has been done to carry their recommendations into effect. The Berlin Convention has shown further defects, and the examination by the Gorell Committee Indeed, has further proved that the question is of great importance and of great urgency. feel sure that anyone who has studied the question of copyright must admit that the time has fully come when, quite apart from any question of the Berlin Convention, or the Imperial aspect of the question, the question of copyright really ought to be dealt with afresh. found, as I think When I came to examine the copyright question in view of this Conference, everybody who has had to deal with it has found, that it abounds in questions of the utmost com plexity. I think it was the Commission of 1878 who reported that the law ' (that the Copyright any sort arrangement, incomplete, often obscure, and even when Law) is wholly destitute intelligible upon long study, many parts ill-expressed that one who does not give such study can expect understand it ; and they make other observations the same sort requires amendment, simplification with regard our Copyright Law, and urge strongly that and codification, and should placed systematic and uniform basis.
