STATEMENT OF AMERICAN BUSINESS PRESS, INC.

The American Business Press, which is composed of some 400 specia'.zed business publications published from coast to coast, is extremely concerned about the growing practice of unrestricted photocopying which has been evidenced in recent years, and only compounded by the Williams and Wilkins decision. Unless a way can be found to protect the ability of periodical publishers to spend the money to gather, edit and produce technical and scientific information, and then distribute it throughout the nation, the flow of that information can be seriously curtailed.

Some American Business Press member publications, like Oil and Gas Journal, are sent to paid subscribers. Others, like Iron Age, are sent via the controued circulation route to readers who specifically request the receipt of that pub, sation. In the first instance, both the reader and the advertiser supply the funds through the publisher, to permit the gathering and editing of technical and scientific articles, which are then copyrighted. In the second instance, the publication's primary income comes from advertisers. In both cases, necessary information is distributed to people employed in every phase of the techacal and economic activity.

If the information and the articles gathered by editors are photocopied without the consent of the copyright owner, we will have situations arising like the one dramatized in the attached Exhibit A. We have deleted the name of the company which sent the memorandum out, but we present for the consideration of the Committe what is happening.

The only effect of curtailed subscriptions or curtailed circulation which this practice will cause is a severe restriction upon the securing and circulation of important editorial information because scientific and technical publications will not have the wherewithall to gather and edit the information to be photo copied. If this happens, the important news and scientific and technical infe mation gathering function performed by the specialized business press will be seriously impaired, and there will be considerably less information to photo copy for those who do not respect copyrights.

We think the attached example tells the story better than we can. Hopefully the Committe and the Commission established in the last Congress will come up with solutions to this most serious problem. The American Business Press stands ready to be of whatever assistance it can in this effort.

Attachment: Exhibit A.

To: All Home office executives.
