Only the beginning

It may be years, if ever, before the effects of the new and enor- mously intricate copyright law become fully apparent. Reputable lawyers still disagree over applications of the act of 1909 that the act of 1976 replaces. It may, however, be predicted now that the passage of this law is the certain preliminary to new confronta- tions between broadcasters and cable television interests before the FCC and Congress. Cable television, which the courts had ruled to be immune to copyright liability for the use of broadcast signals under the old law, must now pay royalties on distant broadcast signals. The Drawn for BROADCASTING by Jack Schmidt royalties, however, will constitute perhaps the lightest burden that "This is the microphone, Minderman. You've been talking into the cables bear: With slight modifications, they conform to a scale the desk light"
