Reading Time:about 2 minutes
The Copyright Royalty Judges are proposing an amendment to their regulations to allow flexibility in how they conduct hearings. Traditionally held in person at the Library of Congress, the hearings could also take place at an alternative location or virtually, depending on the situation. This change aims to adapt to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many hearings to shift online. The Judges are inviting public comments on this proposed rule change.
Simple Explanation
The Copyright Royalty Judges want to update their rules so that meetings about music and movie payments can happen online, in the big library in Washington, or someplace else. They are asking people for ideas on how to make this work better.
