Freundlich SCHLEIMER 4 FREUNDLICH, LLP 9100 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 615 East Beverly Hills, CA 90212 (v)(310) 273-9807 (f) (310) 273-9809 Counsel for SoundExchange, Inc. REBUTTAL STATEMENT Royalty Logic, Inc. ("RLI"), hereby submits its rebuttal statement in the above- captioned matter, in accordance with 37 C.F.R. Section 351.11. As explained more fully below, the additional testimony provided herewith, along with the supporting Exhibits, rebut SoundExchange's contentions during the direct case phase of this proceeding. Supported by this additional testimony and exhibits, RLI submits the enclosed Revised Proposed Regulations, found in this volume. SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY For the convenience of the Board, RLI provides this brief overview of the main points of its rebuttal testimony, all of which supports RLI's designation here as a competing Designated Agent with Direct Accounting, Royalties, Payment and Audit Rights ("DARPA") from the statutory licensees. I. Benefits of Competition Ronald Gertz, the President and COO of RLI, will rebut statements made during the direct case and provide evidence supporting RLI's designation as a Designated Agent with DARPA and particularly of the fact that the benefits of Competition and freedom of choice for royalty recipients under the statutory license, which SoundExchange denies, are manifest. Peter Paterno, an entertainment transactional attorney in the music area whose practice encompasses the representation of best-selling recording artists which have sold more than One Hundred Million albums worldwide in all aspects of the recording, music publishing and live concert touring industries, also to rebut statements made in the direct case, testifies that choice among collectives benefits artists under the statutory system. II. There are no Acceptable Substitutes for Competition in Statutory License Administration Mr. Gertz rebuts SoundExchange's contention that their so-called "independent" Board of Directors, and the Direct Licensing alternative provided in the statute are viable substitutes for competition in statutory licensing administration. Mr. Paterno also rebuts SoundExchange's contention that their Board of Directors is "independent". III. Performine Rights Organizations ("PRO's) Are a Benchmark and Relevant Comparison For Analvzine SoundKxchanee and the Need For Competition Mr. Gertz rebuts SoundExchange's contention that competition among the PRO's is not a relevant analogy to the statutory license under consideration, presenting testimony that in fact, the PRO's are a relevant analogy as to why competition would benefit copyright owners and performers of sound recordings. Mr. Paterno also rebuts SoundExchange's this contention by presenting testimony that competition in the PRO arena is an important check on royalty accounting and is relevant to the reason why competition under this statutory license is necessary to benefit artists. IV. Agreement Between RLI and Statutorv Licensees (willing buvers) Supports Designating RLI with DARPA c Mr. Gertz provides testimony concerning an agreement between RLI and DiMA wherein the DiMA members are able to designate RLI as a collective with DARPA for these statutory Royalties. This Agreement eschews both the previous multi-tier Receiving/Designated Agent structure and SoundExchange's "sole collective" model. V. Avoidine Cost Recoupment Is A Reason Not To Affiliate With SoundKxchanee and to Affiliate With RLI Mr. Paterno presents testimony concerning the need for a competing collective so that artist may choose to avoid SoundExchange's cost recoupment scheme. VI. RLI's Revised Prouosed Regulations o Mr. Gertz draws on his experience in administering sound recording copyright royalties and music performance royalties, and the direct testimony in this case, and proposes Revised Proposed Regulations to provide copyright owners and users with a competitive alternative to SoundExchange.

  • When Mizrahi Artists Said ‘No’ to Israel’S Pioneer Culture
    Riches To Rags To Virtual Riches: When Mizrahi Artists Said ‘No’ To Israel’s Pioneer Culture Shoshana Gabay. Ills. Joseph Sassoon Semah Upon their arrival in Israel, Mizrahi Jews found themselves under a regime that demanded obedience, even in cultural matters. All were required to conform to an idealized pioneer figure who sang classical, militaristic ‘Hebrew’ songs. That is, before the ‘Kasetot’ era propelled Mizrahi artists into the spotlight, paving the way for today’s musical stars. Part two of a musical journey beginning in Israel’s Mizrahi neighborhoods of the 1950s and leading up to Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf. Read part one here. Our early encounter with Zionist music takes place in kindergarten, then later in schools and the youth movements, usually with an accordionist in tow playing songs worn and weathered by the dry desert winds. Music teachers at school never bothered with classical music, neither Western nor Arabian, and traditional Ashkenazi liturgies – let alone Sephardic – were not even taken into account. The early pioneer music was hard to stomach, and not only because it didn’t belong to our generation and wasn’t part of our heritage. More specifically, we were gagging on something shoved obsessively down our throat by political authority. Our “founding fathers” and their children never spared us any candid detail regarding the bodily reaction they experience when hearing the music brought here by our fathers, and the music we created here. But not much was said regarding the thoughts and feelings of Mizrahi immigrants (nor about their children who were born into it) who came here and heard what passed as Israeli music, nor about their children who were born into it.

    WESTERN WALL ַה ּכֹו ֶתל ַה ַּמ ַעָר ִבי The Western Wall, known as the Kotel, is revered as the holiest site for the Jewish people. A part of the outer retaining wall of the Second Temple that was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE, it is the place closest to the ancient Holy of Holies, where only the Kohanim— —Jewish priests were allowed access. When Israel gained independence in 1948, Jordan controlled the Western Wall and all of the Old City of Jerusalem; the city was reunified in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Western Wall is considered an Orthodox synagogue by Israeli authorities, with separate prayer spaces for men and women. A mixed egalitarian prayer area operates along a nearby section of the Temple’s retaining wall, raising to the forefront contemporary ideas of religious expression—a prime example of how Israel navigates between past and present. SITES AND INSIGHTS theicenter.org SHUK ׁשוּק Every Israeli city has an open-air market, or shuk, where vendors sell everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothing, appliances, and souvenirs. There’s no other place that feels more authentically Israeli than a shuk on Friday afternoon, as seemingly everyone shops for Shabbat. Drawn by the freshness and variety of produce, Israelis and tourists alike flock to the shuk, turning it into a microcosm of the country. Shuks in smaller cities and towns operate just one day per week, while larger markets often play a key role in the city’s cultural life. At night, after the vendors go home, Machaneh Yehuda— —Jerusalem’s shuk, turns into the city’s nightlife hub.

  • Multi-National Conservation of Alligator Lizards
    MULTI-NATIONAL CONSERVATION OF ALLIGATOR LIZARDS: APPLIED SOCIOECOLOGICAL LESSONS FROM A FLAGSHIP GROUP by ADAM G. CLAUSE (Under the Direction of John Maerz) ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is defined by unprecedented human influence on the biosphere. Integrative conservation recognizes this inextricable coupling of human and natural systems, and mobilizes multiple epistemologies to seek equitable, enduring solutions to complex socioecological issues. Although a central motivation of global conservation practice is to protect at-risk species, such organisms may be the subject of competing social perspectives that can impede robust interventions. Furthermore, imperiled species are often chronically understudied, which prevents the immediate application of data-driven quantitative modeling approaches in conservation decision making. Instead, real-world management goals are regularly prioritized on the basis of expert opinion. Here, I explore how an organismal natural history perspective, when grounded in a critique of established human judgements, can help resolve socioecological conflicts and contextualize perceived threats related to threatened species conservation and policy development. To achieve this, I leverage a multi-national system anchored by a diverse, enigmatic, and often endangered New World clade: alligator lizards. Using a threat analysis and status assessment, I show that one recent petition to list a California alligator lizard, Elgaria panamintina, under the US Endangered Species Act often contradicts the best available science.
