SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
cable systems submit royalties to the
Copyright Office under the section 111
statutory license for the retransmission
to their subscribers of over-the-air
television and radio broadcast signals.
These royalties are, in turn, distributed
in one of two ways to copyright owners
whose works were included in a
retransmission and who timely filed a
claim for royalties. The copyright
owners may either negotiate the terms of
a settlement as to the division of the
royalty funds, or the Copyright Royalty
Board (the ‘‘Board’’) may conduct a
proceeding to determine the distribution
of the royalties that remain in
controversy. See 17 U.S.C. Chapter 8.
By motion received on August 31,
2005, representatives of the Phase I
claimant categories (the ‘‘Phase I
Parties’’)1 have asked the Board to
authorize a partial distribution of 50%
of the 2003 cable royalty funds prior to
October 31, 2005. In addition, they
request that the Board publish a notice
in the Federal Register requesting
comments as to the extent of
controversies, either at Phase I or Phase
II, that exist over the distribution of the
2003 cable royalties. This Federal
Register notice responds to these
requests.
Accordingly, the Board seeks
comments on whether any controversy
exists that would preclude the
distribution of 50% of the 2003 cable
royalty funds to the Phase I Parties.
The Board also seeks comment on the
existence and extent of any
controversies to the 2003 cable royalty
funds, either at Phase I or Phase II, with
1 The ‘‘Phase I Parties’’ are the Program Suppliers,
the Joint Sports Claimants, the Public Television
Claimants, the National Association of
Broadcasters, the American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, Broadcast Music, Inc.,
SESAC, Inc., the Canadian Claimants, the
Devotional Claimants and National Public Radio.
