detrimental in encouraging copyright
owners to claim accrued royalties?
9. Please identify education and
outreach practices that the MLC should
consider adopting in encouraging
copyright owners to claim royalties.
10. Please identify activities or
policies that the MLC may take or adopt
to encourage groups of musical work
copyright owners who may be
underrepresented in the MLC’s database
to come forward and claim accrued
royalties. Your response may consider,
for example, the unique experiences of
self-administered songwriters; genres
expected to generate a more diffuse
record of musical work ownership; 64
non-English language works or genres;
non-U.S. based musical work copyright
owners, including the role of
international collection societies; and
particular challenges associated with
classical music metadata.

C. Reducing Incidence of Unclaimed,
Accrued Royalties and Distribution of
Royalties
11. Please identify issues for the MLC
to consider in establishing policies
related to its duty to distribute
unclaimed accrued royalties after a
prescribed holding period in a manner
that incentivizes reduction in the
overall incidence of unclaimed accrued
royalties. In particular, identify
considerations related to the timing of
the initial distribution of unclaimed,
accrued royalties, as well as the
retention of a portion of accrued
royalties in the hope that they may later
be matched.
12. Please identify preferred methods
for the MLC to publicize the existence
of unclaimed accrued royalties before
they are distributed, in light of the
minimum 90-day period required by the
statute.
13. Please describe how success in
lowering the incidence of unclaimed
royalties may best be measured.
D. Others in the Music Marketplace
14. What actions can others, including
those engaged in digital platform, sound
recording, music publishing, and music
creation activities, voluntarily take to
contribute to a more accurate musical
work data supply chain?
15. What actions can better ensure the
accurate assignment of unique
identifiers like the International
Standard Recording Code (‘‘ISRC’’) and
International Standard Musical Work
64 See Tr. at 263:17–22 (Dec. 6, 2019) (Ed Arrow,
Universal Music Publishing Group) (noting
collaborative nature of rap, hip-hop, and pop
music); Tr. at 264:09–11 (Dec. 6, 2019) (Bill Colitre,
Music Reports) (noting that the rap song ‘‘Grillz’’ by
Nelly has ‘‘17 writers and 23 music publishers’’).

Code (‘‘ISWC’’) identifiers early in the
digital supply chain?
16. Please identify education and
outreach practices that digital music
providers and others may consider
adopting in encouraging copyright
owners to claim royalties.
17. Please recommend existing guides
or other resources regarding music data
that can be used by copyright owners
and songwriters, and/or information to
be included in such educational
materials.
E. Other Issues
18. Please identify any pertinent
issues not referenced above that the
Copyright Office should consider in
conducting its study, including any
further legislative changes that you
believe are needed to reduce the
instance of unclaimed royalties.
