Copyright Office Announces Proposed Settlement for Adjustment of Cable
Statutory License Royalty Rates; Requests Comments and Notices
of Intent to Participate
The Copyright Office is submitting for public comment a settlement proposal
for the adjustment of certain royalty rates for the use of the
cable statutory license. The agreement proposes amending the basic royalty
rates and the gross receipts limitations, the regulations governing the
filing of the statements of account to reflect these changes, and proposes
that these changes become effective beginning with the second semiannual
accounting period of 2005. Any party who wishes to challenge these proposed
amendments must submit its written comments to the Librarian of Congress
no later than close of business on August 19. In addition, any party submitting
written challenges must also submit an accompanying Notice of Intent to
Participate in a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) proceeding to
adjust the cable rates and gross receipts limitations. Anyone who challenges
the proposed rates must be willing to participate fully in a CARP proceeding
and have a significant interest in the adjustment of the rates. For further
information, go to the Copyright Office website at (Read further
