Question 4

Theatrical piracy took on new life with the 1856 amendments to the United States copyright laws. Before 1856,

published playscripts were not protected from unauthorized performance, only from unauthorized physical

duplication. Publication effectively allowed the public to use the play in any way not explicitly forbidden by

statute: by contrast, plays that had been performed but not printed and sold were considered unpublished and

so continued to be protected by the law. Consequently, most playwrights never printed their works, seeking to

prevent potential pirates from duplicating the texts and staging the plays. By extending copyright protection to

performances of published plays, the 1856 amendments sought to encourage publication of playscripts, but the

physical texts also became available to those who chose to duplicate them illegally.

The passage suggests that the 1856 amendments to the United States copyright laws failed to

Options :

A : eliminate unauthorized duplication of playscripts

B : encourage more people to write and perform plays

C :

affect the number of unauthorized performances

D :

increase the publication and sale of playscripts

E : extend copyright protection to unpublished plays

Answer: A
