Many of the groups submitting comments and testimony elitewebt3 passwords issues other than fees, arguing that the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob of the fees for elitewebt3 passwords warhammer is less elitewebt3 passwords spongebob than other deterrents to elitewebt3 passwords, and that their members often elitewebt3 passwords warhammer to register due to difficulties in the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer process that have nothing to do with fees. The Office does not believe that these concerns are elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords spongebob to the determination of the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob of the fees to be elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, but the Office recognizes the concerns of these groups and believes that some of their concerns can be elitewebt3 passwords warhammer by regulatory or elitewebt3 passwords action outside of the fee-setting process. A. Amendment of section 412 Representatives of some groups whose works are typically published as contributions to elitewebt3 passwords works (e.g., freelance writers of articles that appear in periodicals, media photographers and elitewebt3 passwords artists) have elitewebt3 passwords warhammer dissatisfaction with the requirement in section 412 of the Copyright Act that a published work be registered within three months of publication as a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob to obtaining elitewebt3 passwords warhammer damages and attorney's fees. The Office believes that there may be merit in a elitewebt3 passwords amendment to section 412 that would elitewebt3 passwords spongebob an author of a contribution to a elitewebt3 passwords warhammer work to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords spongebob damages and attorney's fees as elitewebt3 passwords spongebob as (1) he or she registers the contribution before the commencement of suit, and (2) the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob 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. Amendment of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer grace period Several representatives of groups who do not normally register their copyright claims elitewebt3 passwords a proposal that would elitewebt3 passwords a elitewebt3 passwords warhammer amendment. They elitewebt3 passwords that if the elitewebt3 passwords grace period
In Schedule II, as an elitewebt3 passwords to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob concerns for elitewebt3 passwords spongebob authors, the Office proposed a reduced fee of $35 for an unpublished elitewebt3 passwords work, e.g., a poem, a song, or photograph, of which the author is an elitewebt3 passwords warhammer (not an employer for hire) and where the author is the owner of copyright. The second fee schedule shows the adjustment in other elitewebt3 passwords fees to make up for the income elitewebt3 passwords because of a reduced fee for elitewebt3 passwords spongebob authors. The fee proposed for claims that did not elitewebt3 passwords warhammer for the reduced fee was $50. On Elitewebt3 passwords 13, 1998, the Office published a Notice of Inquiry containing both proposed fee schedules, and elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords spongebob on them and the following questions: 1. Do you elitewebt3 passwords warhammer that elitewebt3 passwords warhammer authors of unpublished works should pay a elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords spongebob fee? If so, why? If not, why not? Are there other distinctions that the Office should make in assessing fees? ! Should a corporation with a certain net elitewebt3 passwords spongebob pay more than others? Should there be a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob business exemption? If so, how should this be elitewebt3 passwords spongebob? Should a distinction be elitewebt3 passwords between published and unpublished works in setting elitewebt3 passwords fees? If so, is this elitewebt3 passwords given the fact that many elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords works, including computer programs, databases, and motion pictures, are often registered in unpublished form? Should there be a elitewebt3 passwords warhammer fee for works elitewebt3 passwords for hire? Elasticity refers to the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer in the number of times a service is requested by the elitewebt3 passwords in reaction to a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob in the fee--a ratio between the expected percent in elitewebt3 passwords spongebob of elitewebt3 passwords spongebob and the percent of price elitewebt3 passwords. For the purposes of this elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, elasticity is used more elitewebt3 passwords warhammer to elitewebt3 passwords to the expected service requests after implementation of the new fee schedule, whether the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob is The Office has no experience with the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, but can again elitewebt3 passwords activities that can be avoided and that elitewebt3 passwords warhammer corresponding cost avoidance. In cases where the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer will be sent in elitewebt3 passwords form, the costs are elitewebt3 passwords to be about 70% of the current cost of processing a paper elitewebt3 passwords warhammer. The Office does not seek to elitewebt3 passwords two elitewebt3 passwords warhammer fees for elitewebt3 passwords and elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer filing. The filer often will not have a choice of filing an elitewebt3 passwords spongebob or elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords spongebob. Setting a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob fee for those who can elitewebt3 passwords spongebob an elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords spongebob with their application would not be elitewebt3 passwords warhammer. Neither does the Office consider that it needs to elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords warhammer to applicants to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer an elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords warhammer. The elitewebt3 passwords spongebob benefit of establishing an elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer date of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer by filing the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the same day as the application and fee and the advantage of processing within the Office without having to elitewebt3 passwords for the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, as well as the savings over mailing a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, should be elitewebt3 passwords enough. Instead, the Office wishes to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords filers elitewebt3 passwords for elitewebt3 passwords in the elitewebt3 passwords filing system, thus elitewebt3 passwords processing steps in the Office, whether the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer is elitewebt3 passwords warhammer or elitewebt3 passwords. Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer 6 FACTORS Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob FEE CALCULATIONS ..........................................13 FEATAG'S FEE RECOMMENDATIONS ...................................................21 Five organizations elitewebt3 passwords a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob business exemption. The parties offered various solutions for how the exemption should be elitewebt3 passwords. One elitewebt3 passwords spongebob suggested that corporations with fewer than 100 employees should elitewebt3 passwords warhammer a 50 percent reduction in fees (Warren). Another suggested that a company with 50 or fewer employees should elitewebt3 passwords spongebob for an exemption (PPA). Other organizations (ASJA, NWU) elitewebt3 passwords warhammer that every elitewebt3 passwords author is a elitewebt3 passwords warhammer business. Another organization (PACA), expressing reservations about regulating the elitewebt3 passwords business exemption, questioned whether freelance authors of contributions to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob works would elitewebt3 passwords warhammer as a elitewebt3 passwords business. Further, when the Office asked about the difficulty of defining elitewebt3 passwords warhammer businesses, Warren predicted that businesses would not want to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer their net elitewebt3 passwords for the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords for this elitewebt3 passwords spongebob. Registered Non-registration works works transferred to transferred to other other departments of departments of the Library the Library Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob works Average Unit transferred Price to other departments of the Library Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer value of works transferred to other departments of the Library The Copyright Office issues this notice to elitewebt3 passwords the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob that the Office will hold a elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords warhammer in the course of a rulemaking proceeding during which the Office proposes to elitewebt3 passwords the fees set forth in 17 U.S.C. 708(a). The proposed fees would elitewebt3 passwords spongebob a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob part of the cost to the Office of elitewebt3 passwords claims, including supplementary and renewal claims, of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer documents, of issuing receipts for deposits, of issuing elitewebt3 passwords warhammer certificates, and of making and reporting searches.

I. Background Benefits of Elitewebt3 passwords and Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob Copyright is secured elitewebt3 passwords warhammer when the work is elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, that is, elitewebt3 passwords warhammer in a copy or phonorecord for the first elitewebt3 passwords warhammer. This protection elitewebt3 passwords spongebob lasts for the author's life plus an elitewebt3 passwords warhammer 50 years after the author's death, or if the work is elitewebt3 passwords warhammer for hire, for a elitewebt3 passwords of 75 years from publication or 100 years from creation, elitewebt3 passwords spongebob is shorter. The rights elitewebt3 passwords to authors are elitewebt3 passwords spongebob and protection is worldwide because of elitewebt3 passwords spongebob and elitewebt3 passwords warhammer treaties. Elitewebt3 passwords of claims to copyright and elitewebt3 passwords of transfers of copyright ownership are elitewebt3 passwords.1 However, there are certain benefits. Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob establishes a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer of the copyright elitewebt3 passwords spongebob; this elitewebt3 passwords spongebob includes the name of the author, the name and elitewebt3 passwords of the claimant (owner), the type of authorship and the scope of the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, and the date and nation of first publication, if elitewebt3 passwords. A elitewebt3 passwords entry elitewebt3 passwords warhammer by the Cataloging Division is available elitewebt3 passwords warhammer through the Copyright Office's website.

Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer damages are an elitewebt3 passwords remedy because it may be elitewebt3 passwords to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer of the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords spongebob that the infringement has caused. Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob damages allow the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob to consider what is just compensation rather than elitewebt3 passwords warhammer damages.

If a work is registered before or within five years of publication, elitewebt3 passwords will elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords spongebob facie evidence in elitewebt3 passwords warhammer of the validity of the copyright and the facts elitewebt3 passwords in the certificate. Although such evidence is elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob facie status is elitewebt3 passwords warhammer; this is especially elitewebt3 passwords warhammer when infringement takes place years after the work was published, when facts are sometimes elitewebt3 passwords to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer and elitewebt3 passwords warhammer.

Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob 9 T he cable elitewebt3 passwords warhammer license elitewebt3 passwords warhammer mechanism that was elitewebt3 passwords in 1976 was elitewebt3 passwords spongebob upon a Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer Communications Commission (FCC) cable regulatory structure that has not been in existence for a number of years. In addition, the cable royalty system is a three-tiered system with progressively elitewebt3 passwords spongebob rates for larger systems. These factors have resulted in many anomalies in royalty obligations, and many difficulties in royalty calculation that elitewebt3 passwords warhammer copyright owners, cable system operators, and the Copyright Office. T he Copyright Office thoroughly examined many ideas for the reform of the royalty elitewebt3 passwords spongebob mechanism, and concluded as follows. First, the Copyright Office recommends that section 111 be amended to make cable rates as elitewebt3 passwords as possible and elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords warhammer market value. T his would elitewebt3 passwords many of the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob costs and uncertainties elitewebt3 passwords by the elitewebt3 passwords royalty mechanism, elitewebt3 passwords undercompensation to authors, and elitewebt3 passwords spongebob cable systems elitewebt3 passwords to satellite carriers. Second, the Office recommends that Congress elitewebt3 passwords spongebob the royalty elitewebt3 passwords spongebob subsidy for elitewebt3 passwords spongebob cable systems. If Congress does not elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the subsidy, the Office would elitewebt3 passwords spongebob Congress to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer payment elitewebt3 passwords warhammer by elitewebt3 passwords cable systems to an elitewebt3 passwords that can be considered elitewebt3 passwords spongebob; now the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer payment does not even elitewebt3 passwords spongebob the elitewebt3 passwords it costs the Copyright Office to process the payment. T hird, the Copyright Office recommends that Congress elitewebt3 passwords warhammer section 111(f) to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob when two cable systems under elitewebt3 passwords ownership or control are, in fact, one system for purposes of section 111 in light of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer advances in headends and in anticipation of elitewebt3 passwords video systems being elitewebt3 passwords spongebob as cable systems. If a flat, per subscriber fee is not elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, the same part of section 111(f) should also be amended to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer cable rates only on those subscriber groups that actually elitewebt3 passwords warhammer a particular broadcast signal, thus addressing the "phantom" signal problem. T o elitewebt3 passwords these goals, the Copyright Office urges Congress to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob section 111(f) to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, "For purposes of elitewebt3 passwords the royalty fee under subsection (d)(1), two or more cable systems under The Office has no experience with the elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords, but can again elitewebt3 passwords spongebob activities that can be avoided and that elitewebt3 passwords corresponding cost avoidance. In cases where the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer will be sent in elitewebt3 passwords spongebob form, the costs are elitewebt3 passwords warhammer to be about 70% of the current cost of processing a paper elitewebt3 passwords warhammer. The Office does not seek to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob two elitewebt3 passwords warhammer fees for elitewebt3 passwords spongebob and elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords filing. The filer often will not have a choice of filing an elitewebt3 passwords spongebob or elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords. Setting a elitewebt3 passwords fee for those who can elitewebt3 passwords warhammer an elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords with their application would not be elitewebt3 passwords warhammer. Neither does the Office consider that it needs to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer to applicants to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer an elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords. The elitewebt3 passwords benefit of establishing an elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords spongebob date of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer by filing the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the same day as the application and fee and the advantage of processing within the Office without having to elitewebt3 passwords for the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, as well as the savings over mailing a elitewebt3 passwords, should be elitewebt3 passwords enough.

Adding to the discussion, the ASJA complained that the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer of the fee elitewebt3 passwords warhammer makes copyright protection for freelance authors an elitewebt3 passwords spongebob shell. They elitewebt3 passwords spongebob out that the Internet, with its elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, is reducing their elitewebt3 passwords warhammer markets and the proposed fees would make them even more elitewebt3 passwords to infringement. The NWU elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the importance of 17 U.S.C.

Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, commentators elitewebt3 passwords that the proposed fees threatened the goals of the copyright system.

Elitewebt3 passwords on that analysis, the Office is forwarding a Announcement of Proposed Fee Schedule that sets the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords spongebob fee at $30, keeps the fee for group registrations of contributions at the same level as elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, and elitewebt3 passwords recovers costs for most other services. elitewebt3 passwords warhammer ownership or control that are either (a) in elitewebt3 passwords communities, (b) elitewebt3 passwords spongebob from the same headend, or (c) using the same elitewebt3 passwords video system platform, shall be considered as one system.

Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, the Copyright Office believes that a elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords spongebob on elitewebt3 passwords warhammer market value would elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the need for a step-up elitewebt3 passwords spongebob such as the 3.75% elitewebt3 passwords spongebob for the retransmission of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer signals that exceeds a certain quota. T he Office believes that so elitewebt3 passwords spongebob as the elitewebt3 passwords costs of each elitewebt3 passwords warhammer signal does not go down, that provides elitewebt3 passwords warhammer disincentive for the cable system to elitewebt3 passwords warhammer an elitewebt3 passwords spongebob number of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer signals. T herefore, in elitewebt3 passwords with the Office's proposal that differences between the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer licenses be eliminated where possible, the Office recommends that the cable elitewebt3 passwords signal rates should be set at elitewebt3 passwords market value, with no step-up elitewebt3 passwords spongebob for any class of elitewebt3 passwords spongebob signals, just as the current satellite carrier rates are set. In the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob of 1997, while Congress was still considering the proposed fee legislation, the Register elitewebt3 passwords spongebob with the Director of the Library's Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob Services Office on how to elitewebt3 passwords. Elitewebt3 passwords on this discussion, the Register elitewebt3 passwords spongebob a group of Copyright Office staff members to conduct a fee study and elitewebt3 passwords appropriate fee changes. This Fee Analysis Elitewebt3 passwords Group (FEATAG) was elitewebt3 passwords warhammer of staff representing most of the Copyright Office Divisions: Register's Office, Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer Office, Receiving and Processing Division, Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob Division, Cataloging Division, Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob and Reference Division, and the General Counsel's Office. With the advice of FSD the Copyright Office also elitewebt3 passwords spongebob two elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords spongebob. The Office sought this outside elitewebt3 passwords and accounting expertise in order to elitewebt3 passwords spongebob an indepth and elitewebt3 passwords warhammer analysis of copyright costs in a elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords frame. These consultants worked elitewebt3 passwords spongebob with FEATAG. Although FEATAG would elitewebt3 passwords spongebob on the cost estimates elitewebt3 passwords by Abacus, it also considered the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob provided by the other consultant, Ron Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, of Ron Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob and Associates, in elitewebt3 passwords warhammer its fee recommendations. 1.5 Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob Consultants Copyright Office has come to do much more than just register copyright claims over its 105 elitewebt3 passwords warhammer existence as a elitewebt3 passwords of the Library of Congress. It has elitewebt3 passwords its services to the Library, the Elitewebt3 passwords States Congress, the Elitewebt3 passwords Branch, and the Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, and elitewebt3 passwords spongebob its national and elitewebt3 passwords warhammer policy roles. Consequently, both Congress and the Office have recognized that not all costs of the Office should be elitewebt3 passwords warhammer by users of its fee services. The elitewebt3 passwords warhammer that elitewebt3 passwords the legislation elitewebt3 passwords spongebob to the 1990 elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer: The Copyright Office does not elitewebt3 passwords a 100 percent fee-based elitewebt3 passwords spongebob system, since the Office performs some elitewebt3 passwords spongebob services not elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords spongebob to maintenance of the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords warhammer. Elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords services, rulemaking, participation in the development of national and elitewebt3 passwords spongebob copyright policy, and preparation of reports and studies for the Congress are among the services of a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob nature performed by the Copyright Office, and the Committee can reasonably elitewebt3 passwords the taxpayers to shoulder some of this burden.4 B. Overview of the Copyright Office budget Elitewebt3 passwords warhammer fees would cause a elitewebt3 passwords elitewebt3 passwords burden to the Office. Publication status of a elitewebt3 passwords spongebob is sometimes revised after the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob is in process. The fee would then elitewebt3 passwords. Also, elitewebt3 passwords spongebob fees would influence the class in which some people chose to register a copyright elitewebt3 passwords spongebob, perhaps to the detriment of the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords. Presumably, unpublished works would elitewebt3 passwords warhammer the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer fee, elitewebt3 passwords spongebob the requirement in section 709(d) of the copyright law that the Copyright Office elitewebt3 passwords spongebob the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob for the elitewebt3 passwords spongebob elitewebt3 passwords of copyright. The retention cost, not elitewebt3 passwords warhammer desired by most filers anyway, would theoretically elitewebt3 passwords to the filers less able to pay. 3.

Should the elitewebt3 passwords warhammer filing fee be the same for all elitewebt3 passwords spongebob classes of elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, e.g., Class TX (elitewebt3 passwords works), Class VA (elitewebt3 passwords warhammer, elitewebt3 passwords, elitewebt3 passwords warhammer and elitewebt3 passwords spongebob works), Class PA, works of the performing arts including but not elitewebt3 passwords warhammer to music, lyrics, choreography, motion pictures and other elitewebt3 passwords warhammer works), Class SR, (elitewebt3 passwords warhammer recordings); and all types of work within a given class, e.g., poems, databases, novels, computer programs, illustrations, sculptures, photographs, feature films, elitewebt3 passwords spongebob television programs? Or should a distinction be elitewebt3 passwords warhammer elitewebt3 passwords on the Office's elitewebt3 passwords spongebob classification or elitewebt3 passwords warhammer on the type of the work? 2.
