In conclusion I consider it pertinent to note that the Register of Copyrights, Ms. Barbara Ringer, has expressed the opinion that sound recordings as a class are constitutionally capable of copyright protection. Hence, performing artists and record companies may superimpose royalty entitlement on both the copyrighted works of authors and upon compositions in the public domain. If such a simplistic accommodation of the copyright clause of the constitution were to be applied to the resolution of the constitutional entitlement of women to equal rights there would be no need from a constitutional standpoint for the Equal Rights Amendment.

Sincerely,

PERRY S. PATTERSON.
