Summary
The bill amends the Copyright Act to exempt pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works from best-edition deposit requirements and permits a single electronic copy instead. It authorizes certification of third-party photograph registries that could satisfy deposit requirements, and allows group registration of up to 3,000 photographs by one author under a single application and fee. It also creates a deferred registration procedure for visual works, requires the Copyright Office to offer reduced fees and optional yearly registration subscriptions, and directs the Register of Copyrights to build an interface compatible with professional creator software.
