US artists' resale rights: deadline extended

Earlier this morning the 1709 Blog posted this notice concerning the US Copyright Office's request for information about the operation of artist resale remuneration schemes in other countries.  The blog has now received the following welcome email from Jason M. Okai (Counsel for Policy and International Affairs United States Copyright Office):

"I read your posting this morning titled, "US seeks views on resale royalties: deadline looms." I am writing to let you know that the deadline is extended to December 5, 2012. A second Federal Register Notice was published on October 16, 2012 extending the deadline by thirty days.

You will find this notice at the following URL: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2012/10/16/2012-25370/extension-of-comment-period-resale-royalty-right".

Thanks, Jason, for letting us know.
