Copyright
Office Publishes Proposed Rules; Requests Notices of Intent to Participate
The Copyright Office is publishing for public
comment proposed rules that will govern SoundExchange, an unincorporated
division of the Recording Industry Association of America Inc.,
when it functions as the designated agent for the purpose of receiving
royalty payments and statements of accounts from nonexempt subscription
digital transmission services that make digital transmissions of
sound recordings under a statutory license. Should a party object
to the proposed terms, he or she must file a written objection with
the Copyright Office and an accompanying Notice of Intent to Participate.
Any proceeding convened to consider these terms would be a continuation
of the prior Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel proceeding, Docket
No. 96-5 CARP DSTRA, on remand from the United States Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit. Therefore, the content of
the written challenge must include a statement explaining the basis
of the person's substantial interest in that proceeding and entitlement
to participate in that proceeding, the proposed rule the person
finds objectionable, and the reasons for the challenge. If no comments
are received by May 21, the regulations will become final upon publication
of a final rule. (read details)
