In order to provide these sound recordings, however, a digital audio service must license the copyrights to each musical work, as well as the sound recording of the musical work. There are two statutory licenses in the Copyright Act that enable a digital audio service to transmit performances of copyrighted sound recordings: section 112 and section 114. 17 U.S.C. 112 & 114. Congress initially established these licenses in the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104–39, for subscription digital audio services then in existence, and later amended sections 112 and 114 in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, Pub. L. No. 105–304, to include other types of digital audio services. It is the former category of services (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘preexisting subscription services’’) to which this final rule applies. On June 24, 1998, the Copyright Office published interim regulations establishing the requirements by which copyright owners receive reasonable notice of the use of their works from preexisting subscription services, and how reports of use shall be kept and made available to copyright owners. Originally codified at § § 201.35 through 201.37 of title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, these regulations have recently been moved to part 270 of the CFR, but have remained unchanged. On March 18, 2003, the preexisting subscription services–Music Choice, DMX Music Inc., and Muzak LLC–and representative organizations of copyright owners of sound recordings– SoundExchange, Inc., the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, and the American Federation of Musicians–filed a petition with the Copyright Office seeking to amend the regulations regarding reports of use (formerly § 201.36, now § 270.2) for preexisting subscription services. At that time, the Office was conducting a rulemaking proceeding to establish notice and recordkeeping requirements for digital audio services other than preexisting subscription services and declined to include the petition in that proceeding. See 69 FR 11515, 11517 n.9 (March 11, 2004). Instead, the Office determined to address the petition ‘‘in a separate Federal Register document.’’ Id. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (‘‘NPRM’’) was published on March 15, 2005. 70 FR 12631 (March 15, 2005).

Reports of Use of Sound Recordings Under Statutory License

AGENCY: Copyright Office, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is adopting 
amendments to the rules governing reports of use of sound recordings 
under the statutory license for preexisting subscription services.

DATES: June 8, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David O. Carson, General Counsel, or 
William J. Roberts, Jr. Telephone: (202) 707-8380. Telefax: (202) 252-
3423.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Digital audio services provide copyrighted 
sound recordings of music for the listening enjoyment of the users of 
those services. In order to provide these sound recordings, however, a 
digital audio service must license the copyrights to each musical work, 
as well as the sound recording of the musical work. There are two 
statutory licenses in the Copyright Act that enable a digital audio 
service to transmit performances of copyrighted sound recordings: 
section 112 and section 114. 17 U.S.C. 112 & 114. Congress initially 
established these licenses in the Digital Performance Right in Sound 
Recordings Act of 1995, Pub. L. No. 104-39, for subscription digital 
audio services then in existence, and later amended sections 112 and 
114 in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, Pub. L. No. 105-
304, to include other types of digital audio services. It is the former 
category of services (hereinafter referred to as ``preexisting 
subscription services'') to which this final rule applies.
    On June 24, 1998, the Copyright Office published interim 
regulations establishing the requirements by which copyright owners 
receive reasonable notice of the use of their works from preexisting 
subscription services, and how reports of use shall be kept and made 
available to copyright owners. Originally codified at Sec.  Sec.  
201.35 through 201.37 of title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
these regulations have recently been moved to part 270 of the CFR, but 
have remained unchanged. On March 18, 2003, the preexisting 
subscription services-Music Choice, DMX Music Inc., and Muzak LLC-and 
representative organizations of copyright owners of sound recordings-
SoundExchange, Inc., the American Federation of Television and Radio 
Artists, and the American Federation of Musicians-filed a petition with 
the Copyright Office seeking to amend the regulations regarding reports 
of use (formerly Sec.  201.36, now Sec.  270.2) for preexisting 
subscription services. At that time, the Office was conducting a 
rulemaking proceeding to establish notice and recordkeeping 
requirements for digital audio services other than preexisting 
subscription services and declined to include the petition in that 
proceeding. See 69 FR 11515, 11517 n.9 (March 11, 2004). Instead, the 
Office determined to address the petition ``in a separate Federal 
Register document.'' Id. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (``NPRM'') was 
published on March 15, 2005. 70 FR 12631 (March 15, 2005).

 The Office did not receive any public comments and, consequently, is 
adopting the rule changes as proposed in the NPRM.
