INTRODUCTION SoundExchange, Inc. ("SoundExchange") opposes the motions to issue subpoenas duces tecum "Motions" (the ) filed by Pandora Media, Inc. ("Pandora") and the National Association of Broadcasters "NAB"). (the The Copyright Royalty Judges ("Judges") made it clear in 2010 that, under the controlling statute, "[s]ubpoenas are not permitted for purposes ofbuilding one or more party's direct cases."'ut using the subpoena power to build their direct case is exactly what the moving parties — by their own admission — seek to do here. The Motions should be denied. The Motions seek to undo the limits that Congress established for discovery in these proceedings. The governing statute provides for a period of focused discovery after participants submit their direct cases. The subpoena power is a limited safety valve ifthe Judges find the record incomplete to a degree that information missing at that juncture could "substantially impair" the resolution ofthe proceeding. 17 V.S.C. $ 803(b)(C)(6)(ix). The system is fair because ultimately all relevant information underlying each sides'conomic analyses is exchanged, just not in advance ofthe presentation ofthe parties'irect cases so that the discovery can be focused rather than speculative. Congress created this two-step procedure— presentation ofdirect cases first, defined discovery second — intentionally and not by accident. Numerous interested parties — including Pandora's own counsel — argued the pros and cons of having discovery akin to that used in federal court precede the submission ofparticipants'ritten direct cases. However, Congress enacted the compromise procedure that applies in Section 803(b)(C)(6)(ix) to make rate-setting proceedings "less expensive and more expeditious 'rder Denying Issuance of Subpoenas for Nonparty Witnesses, at 3, In the Matter of Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings ("8'ebcasting III"), Dkt. No. 2009-1 CRB Webcasting IlI, (Mar. 5, 2010) ("Web III Subpoena Order"). and efficient." H.R. Rap. No. 108-408, at 21 (2004), reprinted in 2004 U.S.C.C.A.N. 2332, 2336. The result that Pandora and the NAB seek would undo the Congressional compromise and open up this proceeding — and future rate-setting proceedings — to wide-ranging, expensive and burdensome pre-written-direct-case discovery. That would be directly counter to the procedure that Congress enacted. The Motions fail entirely to establish that the subpoenas must issue to avoid the "substantial impairment" of the Judges'esolution ofthe proceeding. 17 U.S.C. $ 803(b)(C)(6)(ix). Indeed, until the parties submit their written direct cases, "it is not possible" to assess whether a proceeding's resolution would be "substantially impaired," as the Judges previously held. Web III Subpoena Order, at 3. Pandora, which previously has not participated in rate-setting proceedings, argues that this proceeding is sui generis because the stakes are high. But the stakes are always high for parties who participate in rate-setting proceedings. The fact that Pandora has an enormous market share does not give it the right to change the rules Congress established when Pandora decides to participate in these proceedings. Nor do the complaints by Pandora and the NAB about a purported "imbalance" of information justify changing the rules. Any party in any proceeding can always argue information asymmetry as the result of the procedure that Congress established. The fact of informational imbalance applies to both sides. Like Pandora and the NAB, SoundExchange also lacks necessary information at this juncture, and will have to rely on post-submission discovery for, among other things, internal documents including financial analyses, future advertising revenue prospects, the value of music curation versus the music itself, and so on. Until that discovery opportunity, Pandora and the NAB have considerable resources and information available to prepare their cases. If Pandora's and the NAB's requests meet the substantial impairment standard, then the Judges will face requests for subpoenas at the outset of every case, by every party. In all events, Pandora's and the NAB's assertions of an "information deficit" are overstated. As they have in the past through DiMA and the NAB, digital services and broadcasters will combine their own shared information with public information to build their case, as past proceedings and the declaration of Pandora's counsel (Mr. Larson) demonstrate. If the Judges later conclude on a more complete record that there is an absence ofkey information that substantially impairs their decision, the issue ofwhether subpoenas need be issued may be revised at that time. The parties should engage in negotiations during this period — not discovery battles by ambush. 17 U.S.C. $ 803(b)(3)(B); Notice ofParticipants, Commencement of Voluntary Negotiation Period, and Case (" Scheduling Order, Scheduling Order"), at 1 (Feb. 19, 2014) ("[a]ll participants shall engage directly or by counsel in good faith settlement negotiations aimed at resolving controversies"). Pandora initially engaged in confidential settlement negotiations with SoundExchange — but now has elected to use information gathered in those discussions to support their litigation position. SoundExchange had no advance notice that Pandora or the NAB were even contemplating the Motions. Urgency did not dictate the timing of these Motions; it appears from Pandora's papers that its Motion has been in the works for 2 some time.

Hundreds of applications have been filed by Family Stations, Inc. (primary KEAR *106.9 San Francisco), Moody Bible Institute (primary WMBI-FM *90.1 Chicago), and Bible Broadcasting Network (primary WYFG *91.1 Gaffney SC). Cities where such translators would be located are as diverse as Roswell NM, Paris TX, Marquette MI, Pueblo CO and Lincoln NE. As of this book's deadline, only one satellite -delivered translator has been granted in the lower 48 states-in Schroon Lake NY, to Bible Broadcasting Network.
