A division of the US Copyright office collects royalty fees from cable operators for retransmitting television and radio broadcasts (section 111), from satellite carriers for retrans-mitting “superstation” and network signals (section 119), and from importers or manufacturers for distributing digital audio recording products.
The Division deducts its full operating costs from the royalty fees and invests the balance in interest-bearing securities with the U.S. Treasury for later distribution to copyright owners by Copyright Royalty Judges.
A “Notice of Intention to Obtain a Compulsory License for Making and Distributing Phonorecords” (section 115) is recorded by the Division when the licensee cannot identify the copyright owner through a search of Copyright Office records.
