I filled out one of the many online petitions available on this, and
received a canned response from the US Copyright Office:
We are responding to your recent communication regarding the Copyright
Arbitration Royalty Panel
("CARP") report delivered on February 20, 2002. That report recommends
rates and terms for the
statutory license for eligible nonsubscription services to perform sound
recordings publicly by
means of digital audio transmissions ("webcasting") under 17 U.S.C. §114
and to make ephemeral
recordings of sound recordings for use of sound recordings under the
statutory license set forth in
17 U.S.C. §112.
The proposed rates and terms for webcasters operating under a
statutory license announced on
February 20, 2002, are the recommendations made by a panel of three
independent arbitrators. The
Panel made its recommendations after a six-month hearing. During this
period, webcasters,
broadcasters and copyright owners offered evidence for what the
appropriate rates and terms should
be for the public performance of a sound recording over the Internet.
At the conclusion of this
process, the Panel submitted its recommendations and a report explaining
its rationale for the
recommendations to the Copyright Office. The public version of the
panel's report has been posted
to the Copyright Office website.
The panel's recommendations are now being reviewed. Under the
law, only parties to the
proceeding may request that the panel's recommendations be modified or
set aside. These comments
will be carefully considered during the review process. There is,
however, no provision in the law
for comments from the general public. A final determination as to the
rates and terms will be made
when the review process is completed.
