Chapter XV: Section 1: , paragraph (f), should be amended by striking out the

words "or for purpose" and the remainder of line 10 and to the end
of line 13, and by inserting the words "or to make any variation,
adaptation, or arrangement thereof."

It will be seen that to retain this paragraph in the present form
would be equivalent to retaining paragraph (g), because it was the
intent in framing paragraph (f) to have the word "performance"
cover the operation of an automatic mechanical device; and the
words "arrangement or setting" were intended to include the
production of a perforated music sheet.

Paragraph (g) should be eliminated for the reasons already given.

Paragraph (h) should be amended by inserting at the end thereof
the words "amounting to a copy thereof."

It is obvious that this paragraph is altogether too broad and
uncertain. The paragraph should only protect against infringements
which are copies, and it must be left to judicial determination in
the future as it has been in the past to say whether or not any
particular abridgment, adaptation, or arrangement is a copy within
the meaning of the law.
