Copyright Office Proposes Amendments to Rules Governing Reports of Use
		    of Sound Recordings
			The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is proposing amendments

			  license for preexisting subscription services. The amendments include requirements
			  that preexisting subscription services report the copyright notice accompanying
			  record albums or sound recordings, where available; an extension of the
			  time allowed for filing reports of use to comply with current payment periods
			  for preexisting subscription services; and technical amendments to clarify
			  CFR 270.2.S Comments are due by April 14, 2005.  (Read further
