("RIAA"), on its own behalf and on behalf of SoundExchange, presently an unincorporated division ofthe RIAA, submits the following comments in response to the Copyright Office Notice published at 67 Fed. Reg. 70093 (November 20, 2002). The members of RIAA and SoundExchange, which are not entirely co-extensive, own the copyrights in more than 85% of all the sound recordings legitimately sold in the United States. The Librarian of Congress has designated SoundExchange as the agent to receive royalty fees and statements of account submitted by eligible nonsubscription transmission services under provisions ofthe Section 112 and 114 licenses that are directly at issue in the above-referenced proceeding. 37 C.F.R. $ 261.4(b). Accordingly, RIAA and SoundExchange each have a significant interest in the royalty rates that are the subject of the proceeding referenced above. See 17 U.S.C. $ 803(a)(1). Attached as Exhibits A and B are lists of RIAA and SoundExchange members. These lists, particularly the SoundExchange list, may be amended as additional record companies join one or both organizations. On behalf of its members, RIAA is engaged in ongoing 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 involved in this proceeding for the relevant period, RIAA or SoundExchange, or both, intend to fully participate in any such proceedings. Likewise, RIAA or SoundExchange, or both, intend to fully participate in any CARP proceedings to set rates and terms for the Section 112 statutory license for the relevant period.
