Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings and Ephemeral Recordings for a New Subscription Service

(Docket 2005-5 CRB DTNSRA)

Hearing Information

The trial to determine the reasonable rates and terms for a new type of subscription service that performs sound recordings on digital audio channels programmed by the licensee for transmission by a satellite television distribution service to its residential customers where the audio channels are bundled with television channels as part of a “basic” package of service and not for a separate fee has concluded. The direct phase took place from July 10 through July 11, 2007. The rebuttal phase was scheduled to take place from September 10, 2007 through September 12, 2007; however, prior to the start of the rebuttal hearings, the Services (Sirius Satellite Radio, Inc., XM Satellite Radio, Inc., and MTV Networks) and SoundExchange reached an agreement on the rates and terms.

On November 9, 2007, the Judges published the proposed rates and terms for comment. Having received no objections to the proposed regulations, the Judges adopted final regulations on December 20, 2007.

Listed below are participants and documents submitted for the proceeding. For further information, see Federal Register notice 70 FR 72471 , issued December 5, 2005.
