NOTICE OF INTENT TO PARTICIPATE AND COMMENTS

The Recording Industry Association of America, Inc. ("RIAL"), on its own behalf and on behalf of SoundExchange, an unincorporated division of the RIAL, submits the following comments in response to the Copyright Office Notice published at 66 Fed.

Reg. 58180 (2001).

RIAA has established an unincorporated division known as SoundExchange that operates a licensing collective on behalf of more than 2,300 different recording labels and artists who are sound recording copyright owners, including all five major record companies and 320 independent record companies in the United States.

The members ofRIAA and SoundExchange, which are not entirely co-extensive, own the copyrights in well more than 85% of all the sound recordings legitimately sold in the United States. The Librarian of Congress has designated RIAL/SoundExchange as the agent to receive royalty fees and statements of account submitted under provisions of the Section 114 license that are directly at issue in one of the above-referenced proceedings. 37 C.F.R. $ 260.3(e). For each ofthese reasons, RIAA/Sot'jiijdExchange has a significant interest in the royalty rates that are the subject of the two proceedings referenced above. See 17 U.S.C. $ 803(a)(1). Attached as Exhibits A and B are lists of

RIAA and SoundExchange member companies. These lists, particularly the

SoundExchange list, may be amended as additional record companies join one or both organizations.

On behalf of these copyright owners, RIAL/SoundExchange has engaged in negotiations with the affected services and remains hopeful that voluntary agreements will be reached and that CARP proceedings will be avoided. If CARP proceedings are required to set terms and rates for the Section 114 statutory license for some or all of the services described above for the relevant period„MAA/SoundExchange intends to fully participate in any such proceedings. Likewise, RIAA/SoundExchange intends to fully participate in any CARP proceedings to set rates and terms for the Section 112 statutory license for the relevant period.

Respectfully Submitted,

RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, INC., for itself and for SonndKxchange
