			  On August 8 the Register of Copyrights, acting  pursuant to statute, responded to material questions of substantive law  referred by the Copyright Royalty Judges. The questions concerned the division  of authority between the Judges and the Register of Copyrights under the  Section 115 statutory license. Specifically, the Copyright Royalty Board  requested a decision by the Register of Copyrights regarding whether the  Judges’ authority to adopt terms under the section 115 license is solely  limited to late payment, notice of use, and recordkeeping regulations; and if the answer is no, then  what other categories or types of terms may the Judges prescribe by regulation.  To read the memorandum, go to the Copyright Office website at www.copyright.gov. (Read further information)
