Copyright Office Proposes Regulations for Notice and Recordkeeping for
Use of Sound Recordings under Statutory Licenses
The Copyright Office is proposing regulations for the delivery and format
of records of use of sound recordings by nonsubscription transmission services
(including webcasters), preexisting satellite digital audio radio services,
new subscription services, and business establishment services availing
themselves of the statutory licenses set forth in 17 U.S.C. 112 and 114.
The Office is seeking to establish the format in which each record of use
must be kept, along with directions for delivery of the data to the Receiving
Agent, which is SoundExchange, Inc. The deadline for the Copyright Office
to receive comments on the proposed rules is May 27. The new Copyright Royalty
Judges will assume responsibility for this ongoing rulemaking proceeding
on May 31. (Read further
