The proposed bill [1] targets corporations with market capitalization over $150 billion that engage in arts, entertainment, recreation, motion picture, and video industries (North American Industry Classification System codes 71 and 5121) and their licensees. The three-page bill restores the earlier 28-year copyright duration with one 28-year renewal possible.<p>Introduction of a bill is no guarantee of its passage.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hawley.senate.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;2022-05&#x2F;Copyright%20Clause%20Restoration%20Act.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.hawley.senate.gov&#x2F;sites&#x2F;default&#x2F;files&#x2F;2022-05&#x2F;Co...</a>
