Copyright Office Seeks Comments on Issues Related to the Retransmission
of Digital Broadcast Signals by Cable Operators under Section 111
of the Copyright Act
The Copyright Office is seeking comments on several issues associated with
the secondary transmission of digital television broadcast signals by cable
operators under section 111 of the Copyright Act. The Office is initiating
this Notice of Inquiry to address matters raised in the Copyright Owners'
Petition for Rulemaking regarding the simultaneous retransmission of digital
and analog broadcast signals as well as the secondary retransmission of
multiple streams of digital broadcast content. The Notice of Inquiry also
seeks comment on cable operator marketing and sales practices and equipment
issues associated with the retransmission of digital broadcast signals that
may result in possible changes to the Copyright Office's existing rules
and the cable statements of account forms.
Written comments are due November 6. Reply comments are due December 4.
