  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-10-14-E8-24269</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ This notice of proposed rulemaking is issued to inform the 
public that the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is 
considering adoption of new fees for registration of claims, special 
services and Licensing Division services, and that the Office intends  to submit a schedule of<br/> [[Page 60659]]<br/>
proposed new statutory fees and fees for certain other services to 
Congress. The proposed fees would recover a significant part of the 
costs to the Office of registering claims and provide full cost 
recovery for many services provided by the Office which benefit only or 
primarily the user of that service. The new fees are based on reliable 
information regarding the costs of providing services, and reflect new 
electronic processing of most claims implemented in the Copyright 
Office in 2007.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-10-06-E8-23576</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress is preparing 
to conduct proceedings in accordance with provisions added by the 
Digital Millennium Copyright Act which provide that the Librarian of 
Congress may exempt certain classes of works from the prohibition 
against circumvention of technological measures that control access to 
copyrighted works. The purpose of this rulemaking proceeding is to 
determine whether there are particular classes of works as to which 
users are, or are likely to be, adversely affected in their ability to 
make noninfringing uses due to the prohibition on circumvention. This 
notice requests written comments from all interested parties, including 
representatives of copyright owners, educational institutions, 
libraries and archives, scholars, researchers and members of the 
public, in order to elicit evidence on whether noninfringing uses of 
certain classes of works are, or are likely to be, adversely affected 
by this prohibition on the circumvention of measures that con<script type="text/javascript">

  <title><![CDATA[  Division of Authority Between the Copyright Royalty Judges and  the Register of Copyrights under the Section 115]]></title>
  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-08-19-E8-19198</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Copyright Royalty Judges, acting pursuant to statute, 
referred material questions of substantive law to the Register of 
Copyrights concerning the division of authority between the Judges and 
the Register of Copyrights under the section 115 statutory license. 
Specifically, the Copyright Royalty Board requested a decision by the 
Register of Copyrights regarding whether the Judges' authority to adopt 
terms under the section 115 license is solely limited to late payment, 
notice of use and recordkeeping regulations; and if the answer is no, 
what other categories or types of terms may the Judges prescribe by 
regulation. The Register of Copyrights responded in a timely fashion by 
delivering a Memorandum Opinion to the Copyright Royalty Board on 
August 8, 2008.

  <link>http://thefederalregister.com/d.p/2008-01-23-E8-888</link>
  <description><![CDATA[ The Copyright Office is proposing to make clarifications to 
its regulations governing the recordation of notices of termination and 
certain related provisions. This notice seeks public comment on the 
proposed amendments, which would communicate the Office's practices as 
to notices of termination that are untimely filed; clarify the fact 
that a notice of termination is not legally sufficient simply because 
it has been recorded; update the legibility requirements for all 
recorded documents, including notices of termination; make minor 
explanatory edits to the fee schedule for multiple titles within a 
document (adding notices of termination as an example); and create a 
new mailing address to which notices of termination should be sent.
