Amendment to Copyright Law Aims to Curb Harsh Fines
Washington January 16 Rep Covert of New York proposes an amendment to correct a costly error in current copyright law. The penalty for reproducing a copyrighted artwork in any form is a fine of ten dollars per copy, a rule seen as oppressive to newspaper publishers. The bill would cap fines at twice the copyright value of the trespassed image and requires no appropriation. News publishers plan to advocate for the measure before the patents committee.
