SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
cable systems must submit royalty
payments to the Register of Copyrights
as required by the statutory license
detailed in section 111 of the Copyright
Act for the retransmission to cable
subscribers of over-the-air television
and radio broadcast signals. See 17
U.S.C. 111(d). The Copyright Royalty
Judges (Judges) oversee distribution of
royalties to copyright owners whose
works were included in a qualifying
transmission and who file a timely
claim for royalties.
Allocation of the royalties collected
occurs in one of two ways. In the first
instance, the Judges may authorize
distribution in accordance with a
negotiated agreement among all
claiming parties. 17 U.S.C. 111(d)(4)(A),
803(b)(3)(A). If all claimants do not
reach agreement with respect to the
royalties, the Judges must conduct a
proceeding to determine the distribution
of any royalties that remain in
controversy. 17 U.S.C. 111(d)(4)(B),
803(b)(3)(B). Alternatively, the Judges
may, on motion of claimants and on
notice to all interested parties, authorize
a partial distribution of royalties,
reserving on deposit sufficient funds to
resolve identified disputes. 17 U.S.C.
111(d)(4)(C), 801(b)(3)(C).
On April 3, 2023, Worldwide Subsidy
Group LLC dba Multigroup Claimants
(MGC) filed with the Judges a motion
pursuant to section 801(b)(3)(C) of the
Copyright Act requesting a partial
distribution amounting to $921,778 of
the 2018 cable royalty funds on deposit,
a partial distribution amounting to
$963,466 of the 2019 cable royalty funds
on deposit, and a partial distribution
amounting to $928,162 of the 2020 cable
royalty funds on deposit.1 That statutory
section requires that, before ruling on
the motion, the Judges publish a notice
in the Federal Register seeking
responses to the motion for partial
distribution to ascertain whether any
claimant entitled to receive the subject
royalties has a reasonable objection to
1 These amounts are based on a formula
developed by MGC. Multigroup Claimants’ Motion
for Partial Distribution of 2018, 2019 and 2020

the requested distribution. 17 U.S.C.
801(b)(3)(C).
Accordingly, this notice seeks
comments from interested claimants 2
on whether any reasonable objection
exists that would preclude the
distribution of the requested amounts of
the 2018, 2019, and 2020 cable royalty
funds to the requesting claimant
representatives. Parties objecting to the
proposed partial distribution must
advise the Judges of the existence and
extent of all objections by the end of the
comment period. The Judges will not
consider any objections with respect to
the partial distribution that come to
their attention after the close of the
comment period.
Members of the public may read the
motion by accessing the Copyright
Royalty Board’s electronic filing and
case management system at https://
app.crb.gov and searching for docket
number 19–CRB–0010–CD (2018), 20–
CRB–0010–CD (2019), or 21–CRB–0008–
CD (2020).
Dated: October 19, 2023.
