Register
of Copyrights Denies Broadcasters' Motion for a Stay
On October 10, 2002, the Register of Copyrights
denied an application by a number of broadcasters for a stay of
the December 11, 2000, Final Rule that clarified that the retransmission
of an AM/FM broadcast signal over the Internet is not exempt from
the limited digital performance right for sound recordings. Broadcasters
had sought the stay because they believed it would relieve them
from the requirement to pay statutory royalties beginning October
20, 2002. (Read the denial order.)
