HC Deb 14 September 1914 vol 66 c767
7. Mr. EDGAR JONES

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether a firm of British publishers who published copyright works of an alien enemy during the War would be able to continue publication after the conclusion of the War, or if not, would they be able to dispose of all stocks in hand at the conclusion of the War without incurring the penalties for infringement of copyright?

The PRESIDENT of the BOARD of TRADE (Mr. Runciman)

I am advised that at the conclusion of the War claims for accounts and for damages for infringement during the War would be entertained by our Courts.
