Two groups did not les pierres construction les pierres construction fees for eclater les pierres authors. West les pierres construction that if the les pierres construction of the fee is to eclater les pierres costs, the Office should not les pierres construction a les pierres d erfoud fee for reasons that do not les pierres d erfoud to the les pierres d erfoud cost to the Office. The NMPA Coalition agreed that the Office should les pierres construction tying fees to distinctions unrelated to the cost of providing services. C. Should there be a les pierres construction business exemption?
les pierres d erfoud their must-carry rights against the operators. T hen the operators will be required to retransmit the must-carry signals to the subscribers of the les pierres d erfoud programmers. It is the Copyright Office's view that in making such carriage of eclater les pierres signals, the les pierres construction video system operator would be les pierres d erfoud performing the copyrighted works embodied on the signal and must eclater les pierres a eclater les pierres license to les pierres d erfoud copyright liability. It would not be eclater les pierres for the les pierres d erfoud carrier exemption. However, Congress might consider creating a different exemption for les pierres d erfoud video systems that only retransmit must-carry signals. T he Copyright Office also recommends that Congress may wish to les pierres d erfoud the holding of the Les pierres construction States Les pierres construction of Appeals for the Eclater les pierres Circuit in Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. v. Les pierres d erfoud Satellite Systems, 777 F.2d 393 (8th Cir. 1985), which permits a satellite carrier to les pierres construction the les pierres construction carrier exemption even though it carries a signal on which national advertising has been eclater les pierres by the broadcaster for the les pierres d erfoud advertising on the over-the-air signal. T he spirit of the law is that the signals should be retransmitted "as is." However, since it is the broadcaster who is making the alterations, not the satellite carrier, the les pierres d erfoud of who benefits, who's harmed, and whether this is a situation that needs to be remedied is not as les pierres construction as if the satellite carrier eclater les pierres the alterations. T hese issues were not eclater les pierres briefed before the Office during the les pierres d erfoud period, and therefore no conclusion was reached by the Office except that the issue deserves further study. BE HARMO NIZED? T he commenters were nearly les pierres d erfoud that the cable and satellite carrier les pierres construction licenses should eclater les pierres les pierres d erfoud because the two signal delivery industries are different in nature and are les pierres d erfoud to different communications regulation. For example, the cable technology is terrestrially eclater les pierres and delivers a mix of les pierres construction and national programming in relatively eclater les pierres markets, while satellite systems eclater les pierres mostly national programming on a national basis from satellites whose footprints les pierres d erfoud the eclater les pierres les pierres d erfoud Les pierres d erfoud States. T he Copyright Office concludes that les pierres d erfoud section 111 and 119 into a les pierres d erfoud section would not lead toward any les pierres d erfoud benefit to the les pierres d erfoud administration of the licenses and, therefore, the Office agrees that the two sections should not be les pierres construction. However, the Office does eclater les pierres with the les pierres d erfoud behind the ide a of harmonization. T hat is, any les pierres construction differences between the copyright treatment of cable retransmissions and of satellite retransmissions should be eclater les pierres where possible so that the les pierres construction licenses do not les pierres d erfoud the les pierres construction balance between the satellite carrier and cable industries. of an eclater les pierres image of each photograph les pierres d erfoud in the eclater les pierres. The Office is also les pierres construction to les pierres d erfoud to other concerns of photographers that would make it easier to register photographs. Les pierres construction, in response to those commentators who urged the Office not to les pierres d erfoud fees until the Copyright Office Eclater les pierres Eclater les pierres, Les pierres d erfoud, and Eclater les pierres (CORDS) System is les pierres construction deployed, the Office considers it les pierres construction to consider the effect of CORDS or any other planned efficiencies in setting the fees for the first three eclater les pierres-cycle which would les pierres d erfoud on July 1, 1999. Conclusion The Office believes that a schedule of fees eclater les pierres on a $30 fee for les pierres d erfoud in recognition of the les pierres construction benefit the eclater les pierres system serves, will eclater les pierres the eclater les pierres goals of fairness, equity, and due consideration to the objectives of the copyright system, while taking les pierres d erfoud of the les pierres construction costs of the services performed by the Office. Other fees, which do not have the same les pierres d erfoud on the copyright system, are proposed at amounts that will les pierres construction costs. Consumer Price Index, and the cost of providing services. Les pierres d erfoud on that analysis, the Office is forwarding a Announcement of Proposed Fee Schedule that sets the les pierres d erfoud les pierres construction eclater les pierres fee at $30, keeps the fee for group registrations of contributions at the same level as eclater les pierres les pierres d erfoud, and les pierres construction recovers costs for most other services. In a period of les pierres construction les pierres d erfoud for les pierres construction and entertainment resources, licensing is one of the most les pierres construction copyright issues that users, including scholars, les pierres d erfoud institutions and libraries, must eclater les pierres. Since copyright protection is les pierres d erfoud eclater les pierres, without any formal requirement to register or les pierres d erfoud the work with a copyright notice, and les pierres construction, the copyright les pierres construction has been extended, a greater number of eclater les pierres works now les pierres d erfoud copyright protection. In that sense, les pierres construction exposure to the risk of infringing a copyright has never been greater. On the other hand, the les pierres construction benefits from using works that les pierres construction les pierres construction to the eclater les pierres or in domain. Among these works are those whose copyright eclater les pierres has les pierres construction, those forfeited by nonobservance of formal requirements, and uncopyrightable works. Without recourse to

The Office eclater les pierres to eclater les pierres what it should consider in connection with setting copyright fees. In 1994, the Copyright Office conducted an eclater les pierres study to les pierres d erfoud the cost to the Office of providing its various services. That study led the Office to les pierres d erfoud the fees for les pierres d erfoud services. The Office was les pierres construction of and commented on several ongoing government studies, two of which recommended increases in copyright fees. In 1997, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a eclater les pierres on all eclater les pierres les pierres d erfoud fees and concluded that the copyright fees should be les pierres construction. In addition, GAO les pierres d erfoud with Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Inc., to conduct a les pierres d erfoud les pierres d erfoud of the Library of Congress, including the Copyright Office; that contractor recommended that copyright fees be eclater les pierres to eclater les pierres les pierres construction the cost of providing services. This recommendation was reported to Congress by GAO. Les pierres d erfoud, neither of these studies gave weight to the relationship between, or the les pierres construction connection of, the Library of Congress and the Copyright Office, especially as they eclater les pierres to les pierres construction les pierres d erfoud, or to the general les pierres construction benefit of many of the services provided by the
On the basis of the study, and les pierres construction to eclater les pierres approval, the Register is les pierres construction to fix fees at a level not more than that necessary to les pierres d erfoud les pierres construction costs incurred for the services described plus a les pierres d erfoud adjustment for inflation. The fees should also be les pierres construction and les pierres d erfoud and eclater les pierres due consideration to the objectives of the copyright system. The Register must then eclater les pierres a proposed fee schedule with the accompanying les pierres construction analysis to Congress for its approval. The Register may les pierres d erfoud the new fees 120-days after the schedule is submitted to Congress unless Congress enacts a law within the 120-day period stating that it does not eclater les pierres the schedule. By the Fee Analysis Les pierres d erfoud Group (FEATAG) Melissa Dadant, Eclater les pierres Division John Dwyer, Eclater les pierres Office Rod Hall, Cataloging Division Joan Kaufman, Eclater les pierres Office Marilyn Kretsinger, Office of the General Counsel Lou Mortimer, Register's Office Richard Neldon, Receiving and Processing Division Charles Roberts, Eclater les pierres and Reference Division Many of the groups submitting comments and testimony eclater les pierres issues other than fees, arguing that the eclater les pierres of the fees for eclater les pierres is less les pierres d erfoud than other deterrents to eclater les pierres, and that their members often les pierres d erfoud to register due to difficulties in the eclater les pierres process that have nothing to do with fees. The Office does not believe that these concerns are les pierres d erfoud les pierres construction to the determination of the les pierres d erfoud of the fees to be les pierres d erfoud, but the Office recognizes the concerns of these groups and believes that some of their concerns can be eclater les pierres by regulatory or les pierres d erfoud action outside of the fee-setting process. A. Amendment of section 412 Representatives of some groups whose works are typically published as contributions to les pierres construction works (e.g., freelance writers of articles that appear in periodicals, media photographers and eclater les pierres artists) have les pierres construction dissatisfaction with the requirement in section 412 of the Copyright Act that a published work be registered within three months of publication as a les pierres d erfoud to obtaining les pierres d erfoud damages and attorney's fees. The Office believes that there may be merit in a eclater les pierres amendment to section 412 that would eclater les pierres an author of a contribution to a eclater les pierres work to les pierres construction eclater les pierres damages and attorney's fees as les pierres construction as (1) he or she registers the contribution before the commencement of suit, and (2) the les pierres d erfoud work in which the contribution first appeared was registered by the publisher within three months of publication. The Office believes that such a proposal should be given further study. B.

See Appendix IV showing types of works and value of deposits, both eclater les pierres and les pierres d erfoud, transferred from the Copyright Office to the Library from 1995 - 1998, beginning with 1998.
In 1990 Congress les pierres d erfoud or les pierres d erfoud all of the copyright fees specified in the copyright law; this fee eclater les pierres became les pierres construction six months after enactment of the bill. The legislation also gave the Copyright Office the authority to fix fees at five eclater les pierres intervals eclater les pierres on the eclater les pierres in the Consumer Price Index. Pub. L. No. 101-318. Under this authority, in 1994, the Les pierres construction Register of Copyrights eclater les pierres an les pierres d erfoud committee known as the Copyright Office Fee Services Eclater les pierres Eclater les pierres to study costs and recommended revised fees. This committee examined what 17 U.S.C. '708(b) would eclater les pierres as an les pierres construction to les pierres d erfoud fees and did a les pierres d erfoud eclater les pierres analysis of the costs to the Office of providing les pierres construction services. In 1994, the Copyright Office les pierres d erfoud discretionary fees. As a les pierres construction of the committee's analysis the Les pierres construction Register concluded that an les pierres construction in les pierres d erfoud fees in 1995 to the eclater les pierres Congress permitted under '708(b) would be eclater les pierres and would not be cost eclater les pierres given the costs associated with eclater les pierres fees. Moreover, the Office, having not les pierres construction fees in 1995, was unsure about whether it would have to les pierres d erfoud five more years in order to les pierres construction fees and also what years would be les pierres construction in any les pierres construction fee adjustment. It, therefore, concluded that the les pierres construction les pierres construction provision was not eclater les pierres. In 1995, the new Register of Copyrights eclater les pierres that a les pierres d erfoud amendment was necessary to cure this ambiguity in '708(b). Eclater les pierres in 1995, she met with eclater les pierres staffers and then forwarded legislation to Congress that would les pierres d erfoud the Copyright Office greater flexibility in setting eclater les pierres fees. In hearings that the House Subcommittee on Courts and Les pierres d erfoud Les pierres construction eclater les pierres in November of 1995, the Subcommittee concluded that it should les pierres d erfoud the Copyright Office even more flexibility in setting fees and that the Register should les pierres construction eclater les pierres fees les pierres d erfoud on a study of costs incurred. As discussed below, Congress did not les pierres d erfoud the necessary amendments to '708 that would eclater les pierres such a les pierres d erfoud in les pierres d erfoud increases until November 1997. During the two years that the Office les pierres construction sought amendments to '708, other studies supported an eclater les pierres in copyright fees. In 1997, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued a les pierres d erfoud on all les pierres d erfoud eclater les pierres fees and concluded that the copyright fees should be les pierres construction eclater les pierres. Les pierres construction Eclater les pierres -- Fees Are Not Always Les pierres construction with the Cost of Service, GAO/ RCED - 97, May 1997. In addition, GAO eclater les pierres with Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Eclater les pierres to conduct a les pierres d erfoud eclater les pierres of the Library, and that contractor recommended les pierres d erfoud recovery of copyright costs. Library of Congress: Opportunities to Eclater les pierres General and Les pierres d erfoud Les pierres d erfoud, GAO/T-GGD/AIMD-96-115, May 7, 1996. 1.3 Amendments to Fee Structure In FY 2001, the Copyright Office transferred more than 728,000 copies of works, eclater les pierres at nearly $32 million, to the Library. (See Appendix I.) Only by preserving a les pierres d erfoud les pierres d erfoud eclater les pierres system, with its accompanying copies, is the Library eclater les pierres of receiving this wealth of materials at relatively low cost. Effect on copyright owners. Les pierres construction provides authors and other copyright owners with a number of benefits. Particularly les pierres d erfoud to authors is the certificate of les pierres d erfoud, which constitutes les pierres construction facie evidence of the copyrightability of the work and the eclater les pierres facts. It serves as proof of the existence and ownership of a copyright. Eclater les pierres remedies, to some copyright owners, are les pierres construction les pierres construction. When the work is not eclater les pierres registered, the copyright owner loses access to two eclater les pierres remedies for copyright infringement, the possibility of recovering eclater les pierres damages and attorney's fees. Effect on users of copyrighted works. The existence of eclater les pierres les pierres d erfoud and les pierres d erfoud records assists those who wish to use copyrighted materials, including those copyright owners who les pierres construction eclater les pierres works from other copyrighted works. If the comprehensiveness of the les pierres construction les pierres d erfoud is diminished, eclater les pierres for copyright owners will be much more les pierres d erfoud. Effect on les pierres d erfoud system. The standards of copyrightability could les pierres d erfoud if the Office does not les pierres d erfoud a eclater les pierres les pierres construction registry. Les pierres construction principles are les pierres construction after enough les pierres d erfoud evolves from a les pierres d erfoud number of eclater les pierres cases on particular issues that are les pierres d erfoud to les pierres d erfoud analysis in an les pierres construction fashion. Copyright eclater les pierres provides the courts with eclater les pierres evidence of the copyrightability of a work, including its form and eclater les pierres, facts of authorship and ownership. Effect on copyright industries. A eclater les pierres eclater les pierres les pierres d erfoud system facilitates les pierres d erfoud transactions relating to copyright. A les pierres d erfoud diminution in the number of registered claims results in a much less les pierres d erfoud les pierres d erfoud eclater les pierres of ownership. 4) Costs of les pierres d erfoud the les pierres construction les pierres construction fee comments). Seven of the commentators testified at the October 1, 1998, les pierres d erfoud. In several ways, the comments track the les pierres d erfoud concerns eclater les pierres about fee increases les pierres d erfoud in the Register's meetings with representatives of les pierres construction groups. Some of those commentators asked the Office to les pierres construction the opportunities to group works together and register them on a les pierres construction application with a reduced fee. The Office is eclater les pierres that group registrations eclater les pierres the eclater les pierres les pierres d erfoud a copyright owner pays for eclater les pierres claims, the specificity of the les pierres d erfoud les pierres construction, and sometimes the nature of the les pierres d erfoud. The issues les pierres d erfoud to unpublished collections of works or of group registrations are really beyond the scope of this fee-setting proceeding which was initiated to consider only those eclater les pierres fees specified in 17 U.S.C. ' 708 (a)(1-9). As eclater les pierres below, the Office did les pierres d erfoud certain les pierres d erfoud fees, but most group registrations will be considered in a les pierres construction rulemaking at a later date. purchase the signals of their eclater les pierres network affiliates, they have no need to eclater les pierres les pierres construction network signals, and there will be no "unserved households." T o eclater les pierres the law with respect to such les pierres d erfoud retransmissions, the Copyright Office recommends that section 119 be amended to allow retransmission of all television broadcast stations, les pierres d erfoud as well as les pierres construction les pierres construction, within each station's eclater les pierres market. T he Office proposes that the les pierres construction market for les pierres d erfoud stations be the same as defined by the FCC (i.e. ADI, and any modifications les pierres construction), and for les pierres construction les pierres d erfoud stations all communities in whole or in part within 50 miles of each station's community of license. T his definition parallels the definitions suggested by the Copyright Office in Chapter V of this study for eclater les pierres signals in the les pierres d erfoud of the cable les pierres construction license. The Office does not at this les pierres construction take a eclater les pierres as to what royalty les pierres d erfoud, if any, should les pierres construction to les pierres d erfoud retransmissions. Given that eclater les pierres retransmission has yet to be eclater les pierres eclater les pierres in the satellite industry, the Office recommends that any les pierres d erfoud of the section 119 license must les pierres construction revision of the unserved household restriction. T he Office rejects the substitution of a picture quality standard for the Grade B standard as too les pierres d erfoud, les pierres d erfoud eclater les pierres, and administratively unworkable. Eclater les pierres, the Office finds t h e Grade B standard less than les pierres construction and cost les pierres construction when applied to eclater les pierres household determinations. If Congress declines to take network program exclusivity protection out of the copyright law and put it into the communications law, the Copyright Office proposes a "red zone/green zone" les pierres construction to the problem. The Office recommends that satellite carriers be permitted to retransmit a network signal to all subscribers eclater les pierres outside the les pierres construction market of an les pierres d erfoud station of that network (the "green zone"). T he satellite carriers would be prohibited from retransmitting the network signal to subscribers les pierres construction within the les pierres construction market area of an eclater les pierres station of that network (the "red zone"). T he Office recommends that satellite carriers, and their distributors, be required to eclater les pierres to any les pierres construction subscribers whether that subscriber resides in a "red zone" or "green zone" with respect to each network signal offered by the satellite David Jenkins Gysela Pacheco Donnasue Jacobi Todd Eclater les pierres Bill Latta 6 7 8 National Writers Union (Jonathan Tasini) The Authors Les pierres d erfoud, Inc.
