SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Copyright Act, title 17 of the United
States Code, grants to sound recordings
copyright owners the exclusive right to
publicly perform sound recordings by
means of certain digital audio
transmissions, subject to limitations.
Specifically, the performance right is
limited by the statutory license in
section 114, which allows nonexempt
noninteractive digital subscription
services, eligible nonsubscription
services, pre-existing subscription
services, and preexisting satellite digital
audio radio services to perform publicly
sound recordings by means of digital
audio transmissions. 17 U.S.C. 114(f). In
addition, a statutory license in section
112 allows a service to make 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 rates
and terms for the section 112 and 114
licenses are set forth in 37 CFR parts
380 and 382 through 384.
As part of the terms for these licenses,
the Judges designated SoundExchange,
Inc., as the Collective, i.e., the
organization charged with collecting
royalty payments and statements of
account submitted by eligible licensees
and with distributing royalties to the
copyright owners and performers
entitled to receive them under the
section 112 and 114 licenses. See, e.g.,
37 CFR 380.2(a).
As the Collective, SoundExchange
may, only once a year, conduct an audit
of a licensee for any or all of the prior
three calendar years in order to verify
royalty payments. SoundExchange must
first file with the Judges a notice of
intent to audit a licensee and deliver the
notice to the licensee. See, e.g., 37 CFR
380.6(b)–(c).
