Q: SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The People's Liberation Army is the principal 
        instrument of repression within the People's Republic of China, 
        responsible for occupying Tibet since 1950, massacring hundreds 
        of students and demonstrators for democracy in Tiananmen Square 
        on June 4, 1989, and running the Laogai (``reform through 
        labor'') slave labor camps.
            (2) The People's Liberation Army is engaged in a massive 
        military buildup, which has involved a doubling since 1992 of 
        announced official figures for military spending by the 
        People's Republic of China.
            (3) The People's Liberation Army is engaging in a major 
        ballistic missile modernization program which could undermine 
        peace and stability in East Asia, including 2 new 
        intercontinental missile programs, 1 submarine-launched missile 
        program, a new class of compact but long-range cruise missiles, 
        and an upgrading of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles.
            (4) The People's Liberation Army is working to coproduce 
        the SU-27 fighter with Russia, and is in the process of 
        purchasing several substantial weapons systems from Russia, 
        including the 633 model of the Kilo-class submarine and the SS-
        N-22 Sunburn missile system specifically designed to 
        incapacitate United States aircraft carriers and Aegis 
        cruisers.
            (5) The People's Liberation Army has carried out acts of 
        aggression in the South China Sea, including the February 1995 
        seizure of the Mischief Reef in the Spratley Islands, which is 
        claimed by the Philippines.
            (6) In July 1995 and in March 1996, the People's Liberation 
        Army conducted missile tests to intimidate Taiwan when Taiwan 
        held historic free elections, and those tests effectively 
        blockaded Taiwan's 2 principal ports of Keelung and Kaohsiung.
            (7) The People's Liberation Army has contributed to the 
        proliferation of technologies relevant to the refinement of 
        weapons-grade nuclear material, including transferring ring 
        magnets to Pakistan.
            (8) The People's Liberation Army and associated defense 
        companies have provided ballistic missile components, cruise 
        missiles, and chemical weapons ingredients to Iran, a country 
        that the executive branch has repeatedly reported to Congress 
        is the greatest sponsor of terrorism in the world.
            (9) In May 1996, United States authorities caught the 
        People's Liberation Army enterprise Poly Technologies and the 
        civilian defense industrial company Norinco attempting to 
        smuggle 2,000 AK-47s into Oakland, California, and offering to 
        sell urban gangs shoulder-held missile launchers capable of 
        ``taking out a 747'' (which the affidavit of the United States 
        Customs Service of May 21, 1996, indicated that the 
        representative of Poly Technologies and Norinco claimed), and 
        Communist Chinese authorities punished only 4 low-level arms 
        merchants by sentencing them on May 17, 1997, to brief prison 
        terms.
            (10) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failure to meet the standards of 
        the 1995 Memorandum of Understanding with the United States on 
        intellectual property rights by running factories which pirate 
        videos, compact discs, and computer software that are products 
        of the United States.
            (11) The People's Liberation Army contributes to the 
        People's Republic of China's failing to meet the standards of 
        the February 1997 Memorandum of Understanding with the United 
        States on textiles by operating enterprises engaged in the 
        transshipment of textile products to the United States through 
        third countries.
            (12) The estimated $2 billion to $3 billion in annual 
        earnings of People's Liberation Army enterprises subsidize the 
        expansion and activities of the People's Liberation Army 
        described in this subsection.
            (13) The commercial activities of the People's Liberation 
        Army are frequently conducted on noncommercial terms, or for 
        noncommercial purposes such as military or foreign policy 
        considerations.

        per month multiplied by the number of subscribers with respect 
        to which the violation was committed for each month during 
        which the violation was committed (treating each month of a 
        continuing violation as a separate violation).

        made to the Copyright Royalty Judges, pursuant to such rules as 
        may be prescribed by the Copyright Royalty Judges by 
        regulation. In any proceeding under this section, the satellite 
        carrier shall have the burden of proving that its secondary 
        transmission of a primary transmission by a network station is 
        to a subscriber who is eligible to receive the secondary 
        transmission under this section.
            ``(3) Escrow.--As a condition of using the statutory 
        license under subsection (a), a satellite carrier must deposit 
        the sum of $20,000,000 in escrow with the Copyright Office. The 
        Copyright Office shall deposit the escrow funds in an account 
        in the Treasury of the United States, in such manner as the 
        Secretary of the Treasury directs, and invested in interest-
        bearing securities of the United States with any interest from 
        such investment to be credited to the account. The Copyright 
        Royalty Judges shall have exclusive jurisdiction to determine 
        liability for and entitlement to the statutory damages owed to 
        the petitioning party in accordance with a process to be 
        prescribed by regulation and they shall authorize the Librarian 
        of Congress to distribute funds from the escrow account to 
        satisfy this determination. After all petitions under this 
        section against a satellite carrier have been resolved, any 
        amount remaining in the satellite carrier's escrow account 
        after February 17, 2009, after deducting the reasonable costs 
        incurred by the Copyright Office and the Copyright Royalty 
        Judges under this section, shall be returned to the satellite 
        carrier.
            ``(4) Judicial review.--A satellite carrier may seek 
        judicial review of all determinations of the Copyright Royalty 
        Judges on a consolidated basis in a single petition of appeal 
        to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of 
        Columbia Circuit within 30 days after the later of--
                    ``(A) February 17, 2009; or
                    ``(B) the date on which all amounts in the escrow 
                account have been distributed or returned.
    ``(d) Sunset.--This section shall not apply after February 17, 
2009.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendment.--The chapter analysis for chapter 1 of 
title 17, United States Code, is amended by inserting after the item 
relating to section 119 the following:

``119A. Limitations on exclusive rights: secondary transmissions of 
                            distant network signals for private home 
                            viewing by certain satellite carriers.''.

A:
Satellite Consumer Protection Act of 2006 - Grants a satellite carrier under an injunction for certain secondary transmission violations a statutory license to provide distant network stations in specified local markets under prescribed conditions. Requires a satellite carrier as a condition of license use to deposit escrow funds with the Copyright Office. Imposes monetary penalties for license violations.

Terminates such license authority after February 17, 2009.
