                 The Copyright Office proposes to amend its regulations to clarify the  scope and application of the Section 115 compulsory license to make and  distribute phonorecords of a musical work by means of digital  phonorecord deliveries. The proposed regulations would permit the  Section 115 license to cover all musical works embodied in phonorecords  made and distributed to the public for private use, including those  phonorecords made on the end-users’ RAM or hard drive, on transmission  services’ servers, and all intermediate reproductions on the networks  through which transmission occurs. Comments are due August 15, 2008.  Reply comments are due September 2, 2008.
