SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Background

On December 8, 1994, President

Clinton signed the Act which may be

cited as the ‘‘Uruguay Round

Agreements Act’’ (URAA), Pub. L. No.

103–465, 108 Stat. 4809. On December

15, 1993, the General Agreement on

Tariffs and Trade (GATT) negotiators

concluded the Uruguay Round which

included an agreement on the TradeRelated Aspects of Intellectual Property

Rights (TRIPs). President Clinton signed

on to the World Trade Organization

Agreement (WTO Agreement) on April

15, 1994. The URAA was introduced on

September 27, 1994.

The URAA is a complex and lengthy

document covering many areas of

United States trade. Title V, sections

501–534, of this Act contains several

significant copyright amendments. They

amend the software rental provision

found in 17 U.S.C. 109(b) by eliminating

the expiration or sunset date (October 1,

1995), amend Titles 17 and 18 to create

civil and criminal remedies for

‘‘bootlegging’’ sound recordings of live

musical performances and music

videos, and add a new 17 U.S.C. 104A

to restore copyright in certain foreign

works.
