New Subscription Electronic News Service Created For Copyright Royalty
Board
Copyright Royalty Board News is a new electronic mailing list originating
from the Copyright Royalty Board in the Library of Congress. Copyright
Royalty Board News issues periodic email messages that alert subscribers
to orders and decisions, hearings, deadlines for comments, new
and proposed regulations, and other subjects of interest relating to the
business of the Copyright Royalty Board. Effective May 31, 2005, the Copyright
Royalty and Distribution Reform Act of 2004 (P.L. 108-419, 118 Stat. 2341)
amended title 17 U.S.C. with respect to the administration of statutory
copyright licenses. The Act phases out the Copyright Arbitration Royalty
Panel (CARP) system and replaces the arbitrators with three permanent Copyright
Royalty Judges, who constitute the Copyright Royalty Board. At this time,
the Board is being administered by an Interim Chief Copyright Royalty Judge
pending the appointment of the three full-time judges. Procedural regulations
for the conduct and operation of royalty rate and distribution proceedings
under the statutory licenses were published in the Federal
Register at 70
FR 30901 on May 31, 2005.
NewsNet,
the Copyright Office's electronic news service, will no longer
distribute messages on the subject of Copyright Royalty Board matters.
Please note, however, that the Copyright Office continues to have
responsibility for various aspects of the compulsory licenses,
including ongoing proceedings to establish rates for the cable
and satellite television licenses, and NewsNet will continue to distribute
messages relating to those Copyright Office activities. Subscribers to NewsNet
may continue to subscribe to this service. No action is required. NewsNet subscribers
may also wish to subscribe to Copyright Royalty Board News. To
