S.3517

Visual Artists Copyright Reform Act of 2025 amends copyright laws to benefit visual artists.

The Visual Artists Copyright Reform Act of 2025 amends title 17, United States Code, to reform copyright laws relating to visual artists. It exempts pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works from the deposit requirements and allows for deferred registration of these works. The bill also establishes regulations for third-party registries of photographs, allowing for group registration and providing a public-facing interface for efficient copyright registration.
