PURPOSE AND SUMMARY
The purpose of H.R. 5107, the Work Made for Hire and Copy-
right Corrections Act of 2000, is to restore the status quo as it ex-
isted before November 29, 1999, as to the issue of whether a sound
recording can qualify as a work made for hire under the second
part of the definition of that term in section 101 of the Copyright
Act, and to do so in a manner that does not prejudice any person
or entity that might have interests concerning this question.
