SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1995,
Congress enacted the Digital
Performance Right in Sound Recordings
Act of 1995 (‘‘DPRA’’), Public Law No.
104–39, which created an exclusive
right for copyright owners of sound
recordings subject to certain limitations,
to perform publicly sound recordings by
means of certain digital audio
transmissions. Among the limitations on
the performance right was the creation
of a compulsory license for nonexempt
noninteractive digital subscription
transmissions. 17 U.S.C. 114(f).
Section 114 was later amended with
the passage of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act of 1998 (‘‘DMCA’’ or ‘‘the
Act’’), Public Law No. 105–304, to cover
additional digital audio transmissions,
including eligible nonsubscription
transmissions.1 In addition to

expanding the section 114 license, the
DMCA also created a statutory license to
allow a service to make any necessary
ephemeral reproductions to facilitate
the digital transmission of the sound
recording. 17 U.S.C. 112(e).
Licensees may operate under these
licenses provided they pay the royalty
fees and comply with the terms set by
the Copyright Royalty Judges (the
‘‘Judges’’). On May 1, 2007, the
Copyright Royalty Judges issued their
final determination setting rates and
terms for the section 112 and 114
licenses for the period 2006–2010. 72
FR 24084. As part of the terms set for
these licenses, the Judges designated
SoundExchange, Inc. as the organization
charged with collecting the royalty
payments and statements of account and
distributing the royalties to the
copyright owners and performers
entitled to receive such royalties under
the section 112 and 114 licenses. 37
CFR 380.4(b)(1). As the designated
Collective, SoundExchange may
conduct a single audit of a licensee for
any calendar year for the purpose of
verifying their royalty payments.
SoundExchange must first file with the
Judges a notice of intent to audit a
licensee and serve the notice on the
licensee to be audited. 37 CFR 380.6(b),
(c).
On March 3, 2008, pursuant to 37 CFR
380.6(c), SoundExchange filed with the
Judges a notice of intent to audit
Last.fm, Ltd. for the years 2006 and
2007.2 Section 380.6(c) requires the
Judges to publish a notice in the Federal
