The Copyright Royalty Judges have started a new process to decide on fair rates and rules for using certain copyrighted works in public broadcasting from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2027. Organizations interested in participating need to submit a Petition to Participate with a $150 fee using the eCRB online system by February 4, 2021. This proceeding occurs every five years and aims to set guidelines for the reproduction, distribution, and display of these works. Only licensed attorneys or individuals representing themselves can appear in this process.
Simple Explanation
The Copyright Judges are deciding how much money public TV and radio stations need to pay to use certain songs or shows from 2023 to 2027, and they want people to tell them what they think by signing up and paying $150. But it can be tricky for some people if they don’t have a computer or enough money.
