The purpose of the planned 

roundtables is to seek additional input 

from the public in order for the Task 

Force to have a complete and thorough 

record upon which to make 

recommendations. 

Each of the scheduled roundtables 

will be divided into separate, 

consecutive, sessions addressing the 

following topics raised in the Green 

Paper: (1) The legal framework for the 

creation of remixes; (2) the relevance 

and scope of the first sale doctrine in 

the digital environment; and (3) the 

appropriate calibration of statutory 

damages in the contexts of (i) individual 

file sharers and (ii) secondary liability 

for large-scale infringement. Time will 

be reserved at the end of each session 

within each roundtable for observers 

and viewers to comment upon the topic 

discussed during the session. While the 

subject matter will be consistent across 

each of the four roundtables, the allotted 

time for each session may vary to 

accommodate the specific interests of 

the participants at each location. In 

order to maximize participation, no 

formal opening statements or 

presentations are expected. 

The roundtables will focus on (1) the 

questions set out in the October 3rd 

Federal Register Notice, 78 FR at 

61338–39, (2) the issues raised in the 

stakeholder comments filed both before 

and after the Dec. 12 meeting, and (3) 

points made at the December 12th 

public meeting. Individuals 

participating in the roundtables may be 

posed questions on any of these issues.
