| | Licensing and Royalties - Voluntary vs. Statutory Licensing |
 | | Licenses usually take the form of a written contract that specifies the owner of the copyright, what rights are being granted, the term of the license, and any royalties to be paid. | | | Most of the time, licenses are granted voluntarily by copyright owners for a negotiated fee. | | | These are called statutory (or compulsory) licenses and generally the fee is paid according to a rate set by law, called a "statutory rate." Statutory licenses are efficient because they do not require the person or entity using the recording to obtain separate licenses from each sound recording copyright owner. |

| | Notice and Recordkeeping Requirements for Digital Transmissions |
| | Such a Collective shall file with the Licensing Division of the Copyright Office a Notice of Designation as Collective under Statutory License. | | | Among other requirements, the transmission services choosing to make use of the statutory license must comply with the regulations under which copyright owners shall receive reasonable notice of the use of their sound recordings under the statutory license, and under which entities performing the sound recordings shall keep and make available records of such use. | | | The amendment will allow those services that may utilize the license under the expanded section 114 license an opportunity to file a timely initial notice. |

| | Frequently Asked Questions - Webcasting |
| | Statutory licenses are limited in nature so as not to limit too drastically the rights of copyright owners, and that is why the statutory license for webcasters is limited to certain types of programming. | | | A statutory license is an exception to copyright because it takes away the normal right of a copyright owner to determine whether and how to grant a license. | | | Unfortunately, there is no group or organization that grants licenses on behalf of copyright owners to webcasting services that do not qualify for the statutory license. |

| | Copyright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Some jurisdictions may provide that certain classes of copyrighted works (for example, musical works in the United States) are available under a statutory license. | | | This is also called a compulsory license, because under this scheme, anyone who wishes to copy a covered work does not need the permission of the copyright owner, but instead merely files the proper notice and pays a set fee established by statute (or by agency decision under statutory guidance) for every copy made. | | | Though this market solution bypasses the statutory license, the availability of the statutory fee still helps dictate the price per work that collective rights organizations charge, driving it down to what the avoidance of procedural hassle would justify. |

| | Copyright Infringement |
| | However, most software requiring installation has a licensing dialogue that requires the end user to accept the license before installation is completed (referred to as a "click-through license"), which obviously protects subsquent installations. | | | Some people believe that, in some jurisdictions, unauthorized users may not be violating any software license that is created on consent by contract. | | | To many of these attempts at circumventing these end user licencing agreements (EULA) software vendors counter that if a user somehow obtains software without agreeing to or becoming bound by the end user license agreement, then they do not have any license to use the software at all. |

| | statutory digital audio transmission license |
| | In accordance with 37 CFR 201.35, the transmission service set forth herein files with the Library of Congress, Copyright Office, an initial notice stating the Service's intention to obtain a statutory license under Section 114(f) of Title 17 of the United States Code, as amended by Public Law 104-39, 109 Stat. | | | The statutory license allows them to continue their webcasts legally until the arbitration hearings are held January of next year. | | | Now the US government, to protect both commercial and hobbyist webcasters from falling in violation of copyright law, is offering webcasters the opportunity to file for a statutory digital audio transmission license. |

| | Tinotopia: March 2002 Archives |
| | At issue is the droit de suite, which basically establishes a statutory license fee on artwork. | | | There’s no reason an artist in the United States could not license a work of art to a buyer, with restrictions on the manner of subsequent resale, or with additional fees to be paid to the artist under certain conditions. | | | Of course, they issued the thing in the first place, and have renewed it since 1986, so it can’t be too objectionable. |

| | Purr - Solution Allowing File Sharing - Ancient Future Music |
| | Since mechanical licenses will already have been acquired by the sound recording copyright holders, any compulsory statutory duplication and distribution license fee will have to be high enough for the sound recording copyright holder to pay the mechanical license royalty from. | | | This would allow any site on the Internet to promote music file sharing provided that they pay the compulsory statutory license fee to the sound recording copyright holder. | | | This would provide for a statutory rate for a music duplication and distribution license fee that would go to the owner of the copyright in the sound recording whenever a file is copied. |

| | Because the various statutory licenses contained in section 114 have differing royalty structures, and because many services frequently operate under more than one license, it is necessary to identify the category under which the performance of a sound recording is made. | | | If such services are determined to be eligible for the statutory license subject to certain conditions, then copyright owners will need to know which services offer a skip feature and whether those required conditions are satisfied. | | | Services are cautioned, however, that failure to report a sound recording which is under copyright protection may preclude reliance upon the section 114 and section 112 statutory licenses for the [[Page 11526]] performance and/or making of ephemeral copies of the work. |

| | Section 114 treats the public performance of sound recordings by digital audio transmissions in one of three ways: the performance is either exempt from copyright liability, subject to copyright owners' exclusive rights, or subject to statutory licensing. | | | In addition, Congress created a second statutory license in order to give those entities eligible for a section 114 statutory license and those exempt under section 114(d)(1)(C)(iv) \9\ the right to make one or more ephemeral recordings to facilitate their transmissions under the section 112 statutory license. | | | Moreover, the Office has a long and extensive history of administering and interpreting the Copyright Act, especially the statutory licensing provisions of the Copyright Act. |

| | On page 13, Lexis-Nexis states: "The Agreement expands on this protection by providing Lexis-Nexis with five-year extension, on current terms, for several additional legal products produced by Thomson/West" and then lists 17 additional legal products. | | | The Court at the hearing also expressed surprise as to the anti-trust release from Lexis to Thomson/West -- HyperLaw cannot determine whether Thomson/West, in the bidding requirements, required that purchasers execute an anti-trust release as a condition to purchase of the divestiture products. | | | HyperLaw has sought intervention because it believes that in this matter the Department of Justice (DOJ) has failed to comply with the statutory requirements of the Tunney Act, and that this Court, in its opinion of December 23, 1996, erred by excusing DOJ's failure. |
