A friend whom I have known since before he began to write, Er nest Hemingway, has just got the highest price ever paid, $155,000, for the motion picture rights to his new novel, “For Whom the BeU Tolls.” If there were no copyright law which gives him the sole ownership of cap ital created by his brain, anybody could have made a movie out of his book and paid him nothing. Before the ASCAP was organized, anybody could, and ’many did, use the capital of musical composers and song writers to make money for themselves without so much as say ing “by your leave.” It is fairly easy for a novelist to discover that some- body is infringing on his copyright, but there are many thousands of pos sible musical infringers, who can’t be discovered by any one person.

The price is whatever the creator can get, which is usually not enough. As I understand it, ASCAP charg es broadcasting stations a percent age of their receipts for a blanket license to use any and all music of which the copyright is owned by ASCAP members. The stations pay this fee but the broadcasting chains, which supply much of the program material to about half of the stations, pay nothing. A little vinder $4,000,000 is collected from the stations annual ly. But the big broadcasting chains take in more than $80,000,000 a year, ing, we won’t have no more mission-think they should pay nerries after‘bur pressent Ipt dies out. ® . ^.® copyright !
