Public Domain Enhancement Act

Summary

• The Public Domain Enhancement Act (PDEA) (House Bill 2601 for the 108th congress, reintroduced as House Bill 2408 for the 109th congress) is a bill pending in the United States Congress which, if passed, would add a tax for copyrighted works to retain their copyright status. The purpose of the bill is to make it easier to determine who holds a copyright (by determining the identity of the person who paid the tax), and to allow copyrighted works which have been abandoned by their owners to pass into the public domain.
