Proposed Changes to Webcasting Reporting and Recordkeeping
Requirements Potentially Threaten Your Webcasting – UPDATE
The Copyright Royalty Board issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making on May 2 of this year. Some of these changes could threaten your station’s ability to continue webcasting. CBI provided stations with a means to comment in this important proceeding. CBI is working to protect the current exemption which protects all student stations from extensive recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

CBI is your BEST resource concerning webcasting!
The Copyright Royalty Board, on remand, issued its final determination concerning webcasting fees and terms for 2011-2015 and re-affirmed the prior determinations that the CBI settlement concerning fees and reporting requirements is appropriate. While CBI does share some thoughts concerning lower fees and reporting requirements for certain stations as proposed by another entity, the record evidence did not support those desires, thus the settlement negotiated stands. CBI negotiated that settlement and thus is intimately familiar with it and what it requires your station to do and not do. Please let us know if you have any questions concerning your obligations.
If your station has issues with the terms of the settlement (either cost of the minimum fee or fees above the ATH “cap”, contact us as we want to speak with you concerning the rates and terms for 2016-2020).
