In re DISTRIBUTION OF CABLE ROYALTY FUNDS CONSOLIDATED DOCKET NO. 14-CRB-0010-CD/SD In re (2010-13) DISTRIBUTION OF SATELLITE ROYALTY FUNDS WRITTEN DIRECT STATEMENT REGARDING DISTRIBUTION METHODOLOGIES OF MPAA-REPRESENTED PROGRAM SUPPLIERS FOR 2010-2013 CABLE ROYALTY YEARS The Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (“MPAA”), its member companies and other producers and/or distributors of syndicated series, movies, specials, and non-team sports broadcast by television stations who have agreed to representation by MPAA (“MPAA-represented Program Suppliers”),1 in accordance with the procedural schedule set forth in Appendix A to the December 22, 2017 Order Consolidating Proceedings And Reinstating Case Schedule issued by the Copyright Royalty Judges (“Judges”), hereby submit their Written Direct Statement Regarding Distribution Methodologies (“WDS-D”) for the 2010-2013 cable royalty years2 in the consolidated 1 Lists of MPAA-represented Program Suppliers for each of the cable royalty years at issue in this consolidated proceeding are included as Appendix A to the Written Direct Testimony of Jane Saunders. 2 Concurrent herewith, MPAA is separately filing its Written Direct Statement Regarding Distribution Methodologies Of MPAA-Represented Program Suppliers For 2010-2013 Satellite Royalty Years in the above- captioned consolidated docket. Prior to the Judges’ December 22, 2017 Order Consolidating Proceedings And Reinstating Case Schedule, MPAA had already prepared its Written Direct Statement Regarding Distribution Methodologies (“WDS-D”) for the 2010-2013 satellite royalty years as a separate filing consistent with the procedural schedule set forth in Appendix C to the October 23, 2017 Ruling And Order Regarding Objections To Cable And Satellite Claims (“Claims Ruling”). Introductory Memorandum, MPAA WDS-D, 2010-13 Cable Distribution | 1 2010-2013 Cable and Satellite Royalty Distribution Proceeding. MPAA is submitting this introductory memorandum in order to summarize the evidence they will present in the distribution phase of this proceeding, and to state the royalty shares of the Program Suppliers category that MPAA is seeking for the 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013 cable royalty funds (“2010-13 Funds”). I. PROCEDURAL HISTORY On September 9, 2015, the Judges issued an order formally consolidating royalty distribution proceedings regarding the 2010-13 Funds and sought written submissions from the parties in an effort to clarify the definitions of claims categories for purposes of this proceeding.3 Thereafter, on November 25, 2015, the Judges adopted eight program categories for the allocation phase (“Agreed Categories”) to which the Judges may approve an allocation of royalties for the 2010-13 Funds.4 The Agreed Categories are as follows: “Canadian Claimants.” All programs broadcast on Canadian television stations, except: (1) live telecasts of Major League Baseball, National Hockey League, and U.S. college team sports, and (2) programs owned by U.S. copyright owners. “Commercial Television Claimants.” Programs produced by or for a U.S. commercial television station and broadcast only by that station during the calendar year in question, except those listed in subpart (3) of the Program Suppliers category. 3 See Notice Of Participants, Notice Of Consolidation, And Order For Preliminary Action To Address Claims Categories at 2 (September 9, 2015). 4 See Notice Of Participant Groups, Commencement Of Voluntary Negotiation Period (Allocation), And Scheduling Order at Exhibit A (November 25, 2015). Introductory Memorandum, MPAA WDS-D, 2010-13 Cable Distribution | 2 “Devotional Claimants.” Syndicated programs of a primarily religious theme, but not limited to programs produced by or for religious institutions. “Joint Sports Claimants.” Live telecasts of professional and college team sports broadcast by U.S. and Canadian television stations, except programs in the Canadian Claimants category. “Music Claimants.” Musical works performed during programs that are in the following categories: Program Suppliers, Joint Sports Claimants, Commercial Television Claimants, Public Television Claimants, Devotional Claimants, Canadian Claimants. “National Public Radio.” All non-music programs that are broadcast on NPR Member Stations. “Program Suppliers.” Syndicated series, specials, and movies, except those included in the Devotional Claimants category. Syndicated series and specials are defined as including (1) programs licensed to and broadcast by at least one U.S. commercial television station during the calendar year in question, (2) programs produced by or for a broadcast station that are broadcast by two or more U.S. television stations during the calendar year in question, and (3) programs produced by or for a U.S. commercial television station that are comprised predominantly of syndicated elements, such as music videos, cartoons, “PM Magazine,” and locally-hosted movies. “Public Television Claimants.” All programs broadcast on U.S. noncommercial educational television stations.5 The Judges further recognized that the Agreed Categories are intended to be “mutually exclusive,” such that every program eligible to receive cable statutory license royalties in this proceeding falls within only one of the Agreed Categories.6 5 See id. at Exhibit A. 6 See id. Introductory Memorandum, MPAA WDS-D, 2010-13 Cable Distribution | 3 MPAA seeks, on behalf of its represented claimants, a share of the 2010-13 Funds that will be allocated to the Program Suppliers category in this proceeding. Additionally, by agreement, MPAA seeks a share of the 2010-13 Funds that, under MPAA’s methodology discussed below, will be allocated to National Association of Broadcasters (“NAB”). On June 30, 2017, MPAA and NAB filed a Joint Notice of Transfer And Acceptance (“Notice”) with the Judges. The Notice informed the Judges of NAB’s transfer, and MPAA’s acceptance, of NAB’s claims within the Program Suppliers category, thus authorizing MPAA to assert claims for royalties for those transferred NAB claims. Accordingly, the two parties who are currently asserting entitlement to royalties allocated to the Program Suppliers’ category are MPAA and Multigroup Claimants (“MC”).7 In this WDS-D, MPAA will set forth its testimony and evidence in support of distribution awards within the Program Suppliers category as between MPAA and MC. On October 23, 2017, the Judges issued their Claims Ruling, which resolved all pending motions related to claims validity and categorization issues among the participants regarding the 2010-13 Funds. In the Claims Ruling the Judges (1) denied MC a resumption of validity as to the claims it purports to represent, (2) dismissed MC’s claims on behalf of twenty different entities for one or more of the royalty years at issue in this proceeding, and (3) dismissed MC’s claims for 906 specific programs.8 The 7 On March 29, 2016, MC and Spanish Language Producers (“SLP”) filed a Joint Notice Of Settlement Of Controversy stating that “any SLP claims have been transferred to and will be prosecuted by MC and such parties have reached a confidential agreement that completely resolves the claims of represented claimants within the Program Suppliers, Sports, and Devotional categories.” See MC and SLP Joint Notice Of Settlement Of Controversy at 1 (March 29, 2016). 8 See Claims Ruling at 5-13, 16-40, and Appendices A and B. Introductory Memorandum, MPAA WDS-D, 2010-13 Cable Distribution | 4 Judges directed the parties to “take care to ensure that their Written Direct Statements…reflect fully the rulings on allowance and disallowance of claims” set forth in the Claims Ruling.9 Accordingly, MPAA has directed its witnesses to apply the decisions on claims validity set forth in the Claims Ruling in their Written Direct Testimonies presented herein as a part of MPAA’s WDS-D. II. SUMMARY OF MPAA CASE The Judges must distribute royalties that cable system operators (“CSOs”) paid to the Copyright Office for the privilege of distantly retransmitting broadcast stations pursuant to the statutory license set forth in Section 111 of the Copyright Act for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. The standard that the Judges and their predecessors have used for distributing Section 111 royalties in past proceedings is the “the relative marketplace value of the distant broadcast signal programming retransmitted by cable systems” during the royalty years at issue.10 MPAA agrees that the Judges should distribute the 2010-13 Funds based on the relative market value standard. MPAA has long maintained that the relative market value of distantly retransmitted programming is most clearly expressed through measurements

  • Balloon Boy” Hoax, a Call to Regulate the Long-Ignored Issue of Parental Exploitation of Children
    WHAT WILL IT TAKE?: IN THE WAKE OF THE OUTRAGEOUS “BALLOON BOY” HOAX, A CALL TO REGULATE THE LONG-IGNORED ISSUE OF PARENTAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN RAMON RAMIREZ* I. INTRODUCTION On October 15, 2009, the world was captivated by the story of a little boy in peril as he allegedly floated through the Colorado sky in a homemade balloon.1 The boy’s parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene, first alerted authorities with an “emotional and desperate” 9-1-1 call, claiming that their son Falcon was in a balloon that had taken off from their backyard.2 Rescuers set out on a “frantic” ninety-minute chase that ended when the balloon “made a soft landing some 90 miles away;” but to their surprise, no one was in it.3 One of Falcon’s older brothers repeatedly said he saw Falcon get into the balloon before it took off, and a sheriff’s deputy said he saw something fall from the balloon while it was in the air, causing rescuers to fear the worst: Falcon fell out.4 The story appeared to have a happy ending after Falcon emerged from the family attic where he was hiding because his father yelled at him earlier in the day.5 That evening, the family appeared on Larry King Live on the Cable News Network (“CNN”) to tell their story, and when asked by his parents why he did not come out of the attic when they initially called for him, Falcon responded, “[y]ou guys said we did this for the show”; with that, suspicions began to arise.6 * J.D., University of Southern California Law School, 2011.

  • The Place of Creative Writing in Composition Studies
    H E S S E / T H E P L A C E O F C R EA T I V E W R I T I NG Douglas Hesse The Place of Creative Writing in Composition Studies For different reasons, composition studies and creative writing have resisted one another. Despite a historically thin discourse about creative writing within College Composition and Communication, the relationship now merits attention. The two fields’ common interest should link them in a richer, more coherent view of writing for each other, for students, and for policymakers. As digital tools and media expand the nature and circula- tion of texts, composition studies should pay more attention to craft and to composing texts not created in response to rhetorical situations or for scholars. In recent springs I’ve attended two professional conferences that view writ- ing through lenses so different it’s hard to perceive a common object at their focal points. The sessions at the Associated Writing Programs (AWP) consist overwhelmingly of talks on craft and technique and readings by authors, with occasional panels on teaching or on matters of administration, genre, and the status of creative writing in the academy or publishing. The sessions at the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) reverse this ratio, foregrounding teaching, curricular, and administrative concerns, featur- ing historical, interpretive, and empirical research, every spectral band from qualitative to quantitative. CCCC sponsors relatively few presentations on craft or technique, in the sense of telling session goers “how to write.” Readings by authors as performers, in the AWP sense, are scant to absent.

  • We'll Have a Gay Ol'time: Trangressive Sexulaity and Sexual Taboo In
    We’ll have a gay ol’ time: transgressive sexuality and sexual taboo in adult television animation By Adam de Beer Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Film Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and the Centre for Film and Media Studies UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN UniversityFebruary of 2014Cape Town Supervisor: Associate Professor Martin P. Botha The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination at any other university. Adam de Beer February 2014 ii Abstract This thesis develops an understanding of animation as transgression based on the work of Christopher Jenks. The research focuses on adult animation, specifically North American primetime television series, as manifestations of a social need to violate and thereby interrogate aspects of contemporary hetero-normative conformity in terms of identity and representation. A thematic analysis of four animated television series, namely Family Guy, Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and Rick & Steve, focuses on the texts themselves and various metatexts that surround these series. The analysis focuses specifically on expressions and manifestations of gay sexuality and sexual taboos and how these are articulated within the animated diegesis.
