NASA Advisory Council; Institutional Committee; Meeting, 41310-41311 [2014-16439]

Download as PDF 41310 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 135 / Tuesday, July 15, 2014 / Notices mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Finding Aereo’s activities ‘‘substantially similar to those of the [cable television] companies’’ that Congress intended to reach when it updated the public performance right in 1976, the Court held that ‘‘Aereo, and not just its subscribers, ‘perform[ed]’ (or ‘transmit[ted]’)’’ within the meaning of the statute.8 The Court further concluded that Aereo performed copyrighted works ‘‘publicly,’’ notwithstanding that each transmission was made to a single subscriber from a personal copy, holding that ‘‘when an entity communicates the same contemporaneously perceptible images and sounds to multiple people, it transmits a performance to them regardless of the number of discrete communications it makes.’’ 9 Justice Scalia, joined by Justices Thomas and Alito, dissented, concluding that Aereo did not ‘‘perform’’ within the meaning of Section 106(4). The dissenting Justices reasoned that, because Aereo’s subscribers, not the company itself, selected the programs to be streamed, the resulting performances were not ‘‘the product of Aereo’s volitional conduct,’’ and therefore Aereo could not be held directly liable for infringement.10 II. Request for Comment The Office invites further written comments on the issues raised in the Notice, including from parties who did not previously address those subjects, or those who wish to amplify or clarify their earlier comments or respond to issues raised during the public roundtable. In addition, the Office is interested in commenters’ views regarding the Supreme Court’s opinion in Aereo and how that opinion may affect the scope of the rights of making available and communication to the public in the United States. Specifically, commenters may wish to address the following questions: 1. To what extent does the Supreme Court’s construction of the right of public performance in Aereo affect the scope of the United States’ implementation of the rights of making available and communication to the public? 2. How should courts consider the requirement of volitional conduct when assessing direct liability in the context 8 Aereo, 2014 U.S. LEXIS 4496, at *19 (alterations added). See 17 U.S.C. 101 (‘‘To ‘transmit’ a performance or display is to communicate it by any device or process whereby images or sounds are received beyond the place from which they are sent.’’). 9 Aereo, 2014 U.S. LEXIS 4496, at *28. 10 Id. at *42 (Scalia, J., dissenting). VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:46 Jul 14, 2014 Jkt 232001 of interactive transmissions of content over the Internet, especially in the wake of Aereo? 3. To what extent do, or should, secondary theories of copyright liability affect the scope of the United States’ implementation of the rights of making available and communication to the public? 4. How does, or should, the language on ‘‘material objects’’ in the Section 101 definitions of ‘‘copy’’ and ‘‘phonorecord’’ interact with the exclusive right of distribution, and/or making available and communication to the public, in the online environment? 5. What evidentiary showing should be required to prove a copyright infringement claim against an individual user or third-party service engaged in unauthorized filesharing? Should evidence that the defendant has placed a copyrighted work in a publicly accessible shared folder be sufficient to prove liability, or should courts require evidence that another party has downloaded a copy of the work? Can the latter showing be made through circumstantial evidence, or evidence that an investigator acting on the plaintiff’s behalf has downloaded a copy of the work? 6. Please provide any additional comments or suggestions regarding recommendations or proposals the Copyright Office might wish to consider as it concludes its study. A party choosing to respond to this request need not address all of these topics, but the Office requests that responding parties clearly identify and separately address those subjects for which a response is submitted. Commenters also may address any other issues pertinent to the Office’s review. Dated: July 10, 2014. Karyn A. Temple Claggett, Associate Register of Copyrights.
