Other Changes for Rate-setting Under Title I of the MMA
The U.S. Copyright Office is undertaking a public study to determine the best practices that the Mechanical Licensing Collective may implement to effectively identify copyright owners and unclaimed royalties of musical works while encouraging copyright owners to claim royalties and ultimately reduce the occurrence of unclaimed royalties. To initiate this study, the Office held an all-day educational symposium on December 6, 2019. Videos of the panel sessions and educational materials from the event are available here.
