National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works, Meeting Number Six (Arlington, Virginia, May 6, 1976).
Library of Congress, Washington, DC. Copyright Office.
With its sixth meeting, the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works (CONTU) switched from substance to verbatim minutes. The first report, made by the president of the Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association, dealt with the copyrightability or patentability of computer programs, protecting investments in computer software, what constitutes a copy of a computer program, enforcement problems, fair use, effects of copyrights on software producers and users, and copyright notices and deposits. Testimony from the American Federation of Information Processing Societies and affiliates, representing the views of software authors and users, covered subjects substantially similar to those of the first report. Commission discussions of the testimony and future business followed. (LS)
