SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Audio Home Recording Act of 

1992 (‘‘AHRA’’), Public Law 102–563, 

requires manufacturers and importers to 

pay royalties on digital audio recording 

devices and media that are distributed 

in the United States. 17 U.S.C. 1003. 

These royalties are deposited with the 

Copyright Office for further distribution 

to eligible claimants. 17 U.S.C. 1005, 

1007. Royalties are divided into two 

funds: The Sound Recordings Fund (66 

2⁄3%) and the Musical Works Fund (33 1⁄3%). These fees in turn are allocated to 

specific subfunds. 17 U.S.C. 1006(b). 

The Musical Works Fund, which is the 

subject of this notice, is divided equally 

between the Publishers Subfund and the 

Writers Subfund. 17 U.S.C. 1006(b)(2). 

Distribution of these fees may occur 

in one of two ways. The interested 

copyright parties within each subfund 

may negotiate the terms of a settlement 

as to the division of royalty funds. If, 

after any such agreements, funds remain 

in dispute, the Copyright Royalty Judges 

may conduct a proceeding to determine 

the distribution of the royalties that 

remain in controversy in each subfund. 

17 U.S.C. 1006(c) & 1007(c). 

On April 14, 2011, the Judges issued 

an order granting certain claimants’ (i.e., 

Broadcast Music, Inc., the American 

Society of Composers, Authors and 

Publishers, SESAC, Inc., and the Harry 

Fox Agency, Inc.) request for 95% of 

Digital Audio Recording Technology 

(‘‘DART’’) musical works royalty funds 

for 2005 through 2008. Order Granting 

Claimants’ Request for Partial 

Distribution of 2005 through 2008 DART 

Musical Works Funds Royalties, Docket 

No. 2010–8 CRB DD 2005–2008 (MW). In 

that order the Judges stated that the 

claimants did not represent that the 

requested fees were not subject to 

controversy. Moreover, the Judges have 

not received any motions for final 

distribution with respect to the 

remaining royalties. Therefore, the 

Judges determine that a controversy 

exists with respect to some or all of the 

remaining DART Musical Works Funds 

Royalties for 2005 through 2008. 

Today’s notice commences a proceeding 

to determine the proper distribution of 

those remaining funds. 

Commencement of Proceeding 

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. 804(b)(8), 

the Judges determine that, for the 

reasons stated above, a controversy 

exists with respect to the distribution of 

the remaining 2005, 2006, 2007 and 

2008 DART Musical Works Funds 

Royalties. The Judges are consolidating 

the consideration of the distribution of 

the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2004 DART 

Musical Works Funds into a single 

proceeding because they anticipate that 

the parties involved and the issues 

regarding the distribution of the royalty 

fees will be similar, if not the same, for 

each year. Moreover, due to the 

relatively small amount of funds for 

each year, consolidation provides a cost 

savings to the parties and promotes 

administrative efficiencies. 

Petitions to Participate 

Petitions to Participate must provide 

all of the information required by 37 

CFR 351.1(b)(2), which is available at 

http://www.loc.gov/cgi-bin/

formprocessor/crb/cfrcrb.pl?&urlmiddle

=1.0.3.9.4.0.177.1&part=

351§ion=1&prev=&next=2. 

Participants also must identify by year 

each subfund in the Musical Works 

Fund to which they are asserting a claim 

to royalties (i.e., Music Publishers or 

Writers, or both). Petitions to Participate 

submitted by interested parties whose 

claims do not exceed $1,000 1 must 

contain a statement that the party will 

not seek a distribution of more than 

$1,000. No filing fee is required for 

these parties. Interested parties with 

claims exceeding $1,000, however, must 

submit a filing fee of $150 with their 

Petition to Participate or it will be 

rejected. Cash will not be accepted; 

therefore, parties must pay the filing fee 

with a check or money order made 

payable to the ‘‘Copyright Royalty 

Board.’’ If a check is returned for lack 

of sufficient funds, the corresponding 

Petition to Participate will be dismissed. 

In accordance with 37 CFR 350.2 

(Representation), only attorneys who are 

members of the bar in one or more states 

or the District of Columbia and in good 

standing will be allowed to represent 

parties before the Copyright Royalty 

Judges. Any party that is an individual 

may represent herself or himself. 

Further procedural matters, including 

scheduling, will be addressed after 

Petitions to Participate have been filed. 

Dated: July 16, 2012.
