  • Charlie Daniels and “The Devil” in the Details: What the Copyright Office's Response to the Termination Gap Foreshadows Ab
    THIS VERSION DOES NOT CONTAIN PARAGRAPH/PAGE REFERENCES. PLEASE CONSULT THE PRINT OR ONLINE DATABASE VERSIONS FOR PROPER CITATION INFORMATION. NOTE CHARLIE DANIELS AND “THE DEVIL” IN THE DETAILS: WHAT THE COPYRIGHT OFFICE’S RESPONSE TO THE TERMINATION GAP FORESHADOWS ABOUT THE UPCOMING STATUTORY TERMINATION PERIOD Joshua Beldner* ABSTRACT In 2013, authors of copyrighted works and their statutory heirs will have the first opportunity to terminate assignments of their copyrights and enjoy a second opportunity to exploit their works under 17 U.S.C. § 203. However, in addition to the statutory requirements, many authors like Charlie Daniels, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen face an additional obstacle: the termination gap. The termination gap arises in when authors entered term songwriter’s agreements or other multiyear agreements prior to January 1, 1978 to assign their copyrighted works but did not create these works until after January 1, 1978, the effective date of the Copyright Act of 1976 and Section 203. Due to an ambiguity in the language of Section 203, it is unclear whether authors affected by the termination gap can actually terminate their assignments under Section 203 or whether they must wait longer to terminate their works under Section 304. The Copyright Office had the first opportunity to address the issue through its rulemaking process but did not offer an authoritative interpretation of Section 203, leaving it to the courts or Congress to address the termination gap. The Copyright Office’s conservative rulemaking leaves authors and their heirs vulnerable to courts who have not always respected Congress’s intent to give authors an inalienable termination right and to a Congress that in recent years has at times shown more fidelity to larger business interests than to individual authors.

    CHARLIE DANIELS Bio 2018 www.charliedaniels.com www.twitter.com/charliedaniels www.youtube.com/charliedanielsvideos www.facebook.com/charliedanielsband www.instaGram.com/thecharliedanielsband From his Dove Award winning gospel albums to his genre-defining Southern rock anthems and his CMA Award-winning country hits, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical landscape than Charlie Daniels. An outspoken patriot, beloved mentor to young artists and still a road warrior at age 80, Charlie has parlayed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need. Raised among the longleaf pines of North Carolina, Charlie began his career playing bluegrass music with the Misty Mountain Boys. After moving to Nashville in 1967, he began making a name for himself as a songwriter, session musician and producer. Elvis Presley recorded a tune Charlie co-wrote titled “It Hurts Me,” which was released on the flip side of “Kissin’ Cousins.” He played on such landmark albums as Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline and tried his hand at producing the Youngbloods’ Elephant Mountain and Ride the Wind. His own unique voice as an artist emerged as Charlie recorded his self-titled solo album in 1970 for Capitol Records. Two years later he formed the Charlie Daniels Band and the group scored its first hit with the top ten “Uneasy Rider.” Since then the CDB has populated radio with such memorable hits as “Long Haired Country Boy,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” “In America,” “The Legend of Wooley Swamp” and of course, his signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” which won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1979 as well as single of the year at the Country Music Association Awards.
