        the initiation of voluntary negotiation proceedings for the 
        purpose of determining reasonable terms and rates of royalty 
        payments for the activities specified in subsection (d)(2)

        entities performing sound recordings affected by this section

        the absence of license agreements negotiated under paragraph

        publish in the Federal Register a schedule of rates and terms 
        which, subject to paragraph (3), shall be binding on all 
        copyright owners of sound recordings and entities performing 
        sound recordings. In establishing such rates and terms the

        comparable types of digital transmission services and 
        comparable circumstances under voluntary license agreements 
        negotiated under paragraph (1). The parties to the proceeding 
        shall bear the entire cost thereof in such manner and 
        proportion as the arbitration panel shall direct. The Librarian 
        of Congress shall also establish requirements by which 
        copyright owners may receive reasonable notice of the use of 
        their sound recordings under this section, and under which 
        records of such use shall be kept by entities performing sound 
        recordings.

        agreements voluntarily negotiated at any time between one or 
        more copyright owners of sound recordings and one or more

        specified in subsection (d)(2) shall be given effect in lieu of

                sound recordings affected by this section indicating 
                that a new type of digital transmission service on 
                which sound recordings are performed is or is about to 
                become operational, and

        exclusive right of the copyright owner of the sound recording

    ``(j) Definitions.--As used in this section, the following terms 
have the following meanings:
            ``(1) A `broadcast transmission' is a transmission made by 
        a broadcast station licensed as such by the Federal 
        Communications Commission.
            ``(2) An `interactive service' is one that enables a member 
        of the public to receive, on request, a transmission of a 
        particular sound recording chosen by or on behalf of the 
        recipient. The ability of individuals to request that 
        particular sound recordings be performed for reception by the 
        public at large does not make a service interactive. If an 
        entity offers both interactive and non-interactive services 
        (either concurrently or at different times), the non-
        interactive component shall not be treated as part of an 
        interactive service.
            ``(3) A `nonsubscription transmission' is any transmission 
        that is not a subscription transmission.
            ``(4) The `sound recording performance complement' is--
                    ``(A) in the case of an interactive service, the 
                capability of a member of the public to receive 
                transmissions, during a 1-week period, of no more than 
                the complement number; or
                    ``(B) in the case of a transmission other than in 
                the course of an interactive service, the transmission 
                consecutively of no more than the complement number.
            ``(5) The `complement number' is--
                    ``(A) 2 selections of sound recordings embodied in 
                any one phonorecord distributed in the United States 
                for ultimate sale to consumers; or
                    ``(B) 3 selections of sound recordings of 
                performances--
                            ``(i) by the same featured recording 
                        artist, or

                        or compilation of sound recordings marketed 
                        together as a unit for ultimate sale to 
                        consumers.
            ``(6) A `subscription transmission' is a transmission that 
        is controlled and limited to particular recipients, and for 
        which consideration is required to be paid or otherwise given 
        by or on behalf of the recipient to receive the transmission or 
        a package of transmissions that includes the transmission.''.

        and (5) as paragraphs (5), (6), and (7), respectively, and by 
        inserting after paragraph (2) the following:
            ``(3)(A) A compulsory license under this section includes 
        the right of the maker of a phonorecord of a nondramatic 
        musical work under subsection (a)(1) to distribute or authorize 
        distribution of the sound recording embodied in such 
        phonorecord by means of a digital transmission which 
        constitutes a digital phonorecord delivery. Such transmission 
        may also constitute a public performance of a nondramatic 
        musical work under section 106(4) and of a sound recording 
        under section 106(6).
            ``(B)(i) For every digital phonorecord delivery by or under 
        the authority of the compulsory licensee which is identifiable, 
        the royalty payable by the compulsory licensee shall be the 
        royalty prescribed under paragraph (2) and chapter 8 of this 
        title.
            ``(ii) For every digital phonorecord delivery by or under 
        the authority of the compulsory licensee which is not 
        identifiable but which can be reasonably expected to result 
        from a digital transmission of a sound recording, the royalty 
        payable by the compulsory licensee shall be the royalty 
        prescribed under paragraph (4).
            ``(iii) The Librarian of Congress shall prescribe 
        regulations describing the types of digital transmissions of a 
        sound recording which are described in clauses (i) and (ii). 
        Such regulations--
                    ``(I) shall take into account any efforts by 
                transmitters to avoid or evade the reasonable use of 
                available techniques to identify deliveries to 
                transmission recipients of phonorecords of sound 
                recordings, and
                    ``(II) may consider the nature of the digital

        section 106(4), the copyright owner of a nondramatic musical 
        work embodied in a sound recording has the right to receive 
        royalty payments at the rates prescribed under this subsection 
        when the digital transmission of that sound recording 
        constitutes a digital phonorecord delivery. Unless authorized 
        by the copyright owner of the nondramatic musical work or by 
        any person who has obtained a compulsory license under this 
        section, such a digital transmission, by whomever made, shall 
        be actionable by the copyright owner in the nondramatic musical 
        work as an act of infringement, except that no such cause of 
        action may be brought against a copyright owner of a sound 
        recording unless it authorized the digital phonorecord 
        delivery. Any such cause of action shall be in addition to 
        remedies available to the copyright owner of the musical work 
        under section 106(4) and the copyright owner of the sound 
        recording with respect to digital phonorecord deliveries under 
        section 106(6).
            ``(D) Nothing in section 1008 shall be construed to prevent 
        the exercise of the rights and remedies allowed by this 
        paragraph, paragraph (7), and chapter 5 in the event of a 
        digital phonorecord delivery, except that no action alleging 
        infringement of copyright may be brought under this title 
        against a manufacturer, importer, or distributor of a digital 
        audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an 
        analog recording device, or an analog recording medium, or 
        against a consumer, based on the actions described in such

                persons entitled to obtain a compulsory license under 
                subsection (a)(1) may negotiate and agree upon the

                cause notice to be published in the Federal Register of 
                the initiation of voluntary negotiations for the 
                purpose of determining reasonable terms and rates of 
                royalty payments for the digital phonorecord deliveries 
                described in clause (3)(B)(ii) during the period 
                beginning on January 1, 1996, and ending on December 
                31, 1999. Such terms and rates shall distinguish among 
                the different types of digital phonorecord delivery 
                services then in operation. Any copyright owners of 
                nondramatic musical works and any persons entitled to 
                obtain a compulsory license under subsection (a)(1) may 
                submit to the Librarian of Congress licenses covering 
                activities with respect to such works. The parties to 
                each such negotiation proceeding shall bear the entire 
                costs thereof.

                negotiated under subparagraph (B), the Librarian of 
                Congress shall, pursuant to chapter 8, convene a 
                copyright arbitration royalty panel to determine and 
                publish in the Federal Register a schedule of rates and 
                terms which, subject to subparagraph (D), shall be

                works and persons entitled to obtain a compulsory

                rates and terms the copyright arbitration royalty panel 
                may consider the rates for comparable types of digital 
                phonorecord delivery services and comparable 
                circumstances under voluntary license agreements

                direct. The Librarian of Congress shall also establish 
                requirements by which copyright owners shall receive 
                reasonable notice of the use of their works under this 
                subsection, and under which records of such use shall

    ``(d) Definition.--As used in this section, the term `digital 
phonorecord delivery' means each individual delivery of a phonorecord 
by digital transmission of a sound recording which--

        transmission recipient of such sound recording, or
          ``(2) can be reasonably expected to result in a reproduction 
        by or for any transmission recipient of such sound recording 
        even though such delivery is not identifiable,
regardless of whether the digital transmission is also a public 
performance of the sound recording or any nondramatic musical work 
embodied therein. None of the exempt transmissions described in section 
114(d)(1) shall be considered a digital phonorecord delivery.''.
