Well, I think that it could very well be yes, for the reason that in the 1790 statute the Congress specifically was aware of -- that there were State copyright laws which didn't last as long as the Federal statute. Several of the States hadn't finished enacting those copyright laws, and a couple of States hadn't enacted them at all.

Can we draw the following conclusion?
States have yet to solve the issue of state copyright laws vs federal.

Pick from:
 1). Yes;
 2). It's impossible to say;
 3). No;
