Background
The satellite carrier compulsory
license establishes a statutory copyright
licensing scheme for satellite carriers
that retransmit over–the–air television
broadcast signals to satellite dish
owners. 17 U.S.C. 119. Congress created
the license in 1988 with the passage of
the Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1988.
Congress reauthorized the satellite
license for additional five–year periods
in 1994 and 1999, and the license was
slated to expire on December 31, 2004.
However, Congress again reauthorized
the satellite license for another five
years with the passage of the Satellite
Home Viewer Extension and
Reauthorization Act of 2004
(‘‘SHVERA’’) (as part of the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005),
Pub. L. 108–447, which was signed into
law by the President on December 8,
2004.
Rates for the statutory license were
initially set by Congress in the Satellite
Home Viewer Act of 1988 and then later
adjusted by a three–person arbitration
panel convened by the former Copyright
Royalty Tribunal. 57 FR 19052 (May 1,
1992). When the license was
reauthorized in 1994, Congress directed
that the rates be adjusted by the
Librarian of Congress using the system
that replaced the Copyright Royalty
Tribunal, namely, a Copyright
Arbitration Royalty Panel (‘‘CARP’’).
Accordingly, the Librarian adjusted the
rates in 1997. 62 FR 55742 (October 28,
1997). In the Satellite Home Viewer
Improvement Act of 1999, which
reauthorized the license for an
additional five years, Congress reduced
the rates set by the Librarian. 17 U.S.C.
119(c)(4).
SHVERA adopts the rates as reduced
by Congress in 1999 for the
retransmission of analog signals but
calls for the adjustment of those rates.1
In addition, SHVERA calls for the
setting of rates, for the first time, for the
retransmission of the primary digital
transmissions of network stations and
superstations. SHVERA provides that
the rates to be paid by satellite carriers
for the retransmission of digital signals
shall be the rates set by the Librarian in
1997 for the retransmission of analog
signals, 37 CFR 258.3(b)(1)&(2), reduced
1 The Library has begun the process to adjust the
rates paid for the retransmission of analog signals.
See 69 FR 78482 (December 30, 2004); 70 FR 3656
(January 26, 2005).
