AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Copyright Royalty Board,
acting pursuant to statute, referred two
novel questions of law to the Register of
Copyrights. Specifically, the Copyright
Royalty Board requested a decision by
the Register of Copyrights regarding
whether ringtones are subject to the
statutory license for making and
distributing phonorecords under the
Copyright Act, and if so, what legal
conditions and/or limitations would
apply. The Register of Copyrights, in a
timely fashion, transmitted a
Memorandum Opinion to the Copyright
Royalty Board stating, with certain
caveats, that the statutory license
applies to ringtones.
DATES: Effective Date: October 16, 2006.

Golant, Senior Attorney, and Tanya M.
Sandros, Associate General Counsel,

Telefax: (202) 707–8366.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Copyright Royalty and Distribution
Reform Act of 2004, Congress amended
Title 17 to replace the copyright
arbitration royalty panel with the
Copyright Royalty Board (‘‘Board’’). One
of the functions of the new Board is to
make determinations and adjustments of
reasonable terms and rates of royalty
payments as provided in sections
112(e), 114, 115, 116, 118, 119 and 1004
of the Copyright Act. In any case in
which a novel question of law
concerning an interpretation of a
provision of the Copyright Act is
presented in a ratesetting proceeding,
the Board has the authority to request a
decision of the Register of Copyrights
(‘‘Register’’), in writing, to resolve such
questions. See 17 U.S.C. 802(f)(1)(B)(i).
For this purpose, a ‘‘novel question of
law’’ is a question of law that has not
been determined in prior decisions,
determinations, and rulings described in
Section 803(a) of the Copyright Act.
On August 1, 2006, the Recording
Industry Association of America
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:45 Oct 31, 2006
Jkt 211001
(‘‘RIAA’’) requested that the Board refer
a question to the Register of Copyrights
regarding the eligibility of ringtones
(i.e., short digital sound recording file
distributed for use in a cellular
telephone or similar device) for
statutory licensing under Section115 of
the Copyright Act. An opposition to the
RIAA‘s referral motion was submitted,
collectively, by the National Music
Publishers Association, Inc., the
Songwriters Guild of America, and the
Nashville Songwriters Association
International (‘‘Copyright Owners’’).
After considering the arguments of the
parties, the Board agreed that the
matters raised by the RIAA motion did
present novel questions of law and
agreed to submit the questions to the
Register. Accordingly, on September 14,
2006, the Board transmitted to the
Register: (1) an Order, dated August 18,
2006, referring two novel questions of
law; and (2) the Initial and Reply Briefs
filed with the Board by RIAA and the
Copyright Owners. The Board‘s
transmittal triggered the 30–day
decision period prescribed in Section
802 of the Copyright Act. This statutory
provision states that the Register ‘‘shall
transmit his or her decision to the
Copyright Royalty Judges within 30
days after the Register of Copyrights
receives all of the briefs or comments of
the participants.’’ See17 U.S.C.
802(f)(1)(B)(i). On October 16, 2006, the
Register transmitted a Memorandum
Opinion to the Board that answered the
novel questions of law. To provide the
public with notice of the decision
rendered by the Register, the
Memorandum Opinion is reproduced in
its entirety, below.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
I.
Introduction
On September 14, 2006, the Copyright
Royalty Board (‘‘Board’’), acting on a
request by the Recording Industry
Association of America, Inc. (‘‘RIAA’’),
and pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 802(f)(1)(B),
referred two novel questions of law1 to

that has not been determined in prior decisions,
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

the Register of Copyrights (‘‘Register’’).
Specifically, the Board requested a
decision by the Register as to the
following:
1. Does a ringtone, made available for
use on a cellular telephone or similar
device, constitute delivery of a digital
phonorecord that is subject to statutory
licensing under 17 U.S.C. § 115,
irrespective of whether the ringtone is
monophonic (having only a single
melodic line), polyphonic (having both
melody and harmony), or a mastertone (a
digital sound recording or excerpt
thereof)?
2. If so, what are the legal conditions
and/or limitations on such statutory
licensing?2
In sum, and as stated more fully
below, we believe that ringtones
(including monophonic and polyphonic
ringtones, as well as mastertones)
qualify as digital phonorecord deliveries
(‘‘DPDs’’) as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 15.
Apart from meeting the formal
requirements of Section 115 (e.g.,
service of a notice of intention to obtain
a compulsory license under Section
115(b)(1), submission of statements of
account and royalty payments, etc.),
whether a particular ringtone falls
within the scope of the statutory license
will depend primarily upon whether
what is performed is simply the original
musical work (or a portion thereof), or
a derivative work (i.e., a musical work
based on the original musical work but
which is recast, transformed, or adapted
in such a way that it becomes an
original work of authorship and would
be entitled to copyright protection as a
derivative work).
Procedural Background. On August 1,
2006, the RIAA requested that the
Copyright Royalty Board refer a
question to the Register of Copyrights
regarding the eligibility of a mastertone,
a short digital sound recording file
distributed for use in a cellular
telephone or similar device, for
statutory licensing under 17 U.S.C.
§ 115.3 An opposition to the RIAA‘s
determinations, and rulings described in Section
803(a) of the Copyright Act. See 17 U.S.C.
§ 802(f)(1)(B)(ii).
2 See Mechanical and Digital Phonorecord
Delivery Rate Adjustment Proceeding, Order
Granting in Part the Request for Referral of a Novel
Question of Law, Docket No. 2006–3 CRB DPRA
(Aug. 18, 2006) (‘‘Order’’).
3 The Copyright Royalty Board is currently
conducting a proceeding to determine the
reasonable rates and terms for the making and
distribution of phonorecords under the Section 115
license. See Adjustments or Determination of
Compulsory License Rates for Making and
Distributing Phonorecords, 71 Fed Reg 1454 (Jan. 9,
2006). The answers to the two questions referred to
