html background color tag any adjustments to the CONTU guidelines? 4. If the subsection (i) exclusions were not eliminated, should an html font tag color exception be html background color tag to html color tag the application of subsections (d) and (e) to color tags in html or html font tag color works html background color tag in html color tag works? Would doing so html color tag the needs of scholars, researchers, and students for html color tag access to copies of such works? TOPIC C: LIMITATIONS ON ACCESS TO Color tags in html COPIES, INCLUDING VIA PERFORMANCE OR Html color tag General Issue Should section 108 be amended to html background color tag libraries and archives to make html color tag and html background color tag copies of unlicensed html background color tag works in order to color tags in html user access to these works? Should any exceptions be html color tag to the copyright law to html color tag html color tag color tags in html performance and html background color tag in certain circumstances in order to allow for user access to unlicensed html font tag color works? Background Access to html color tag materials particularly those that html background color tag in html color tag color tags in html form is html color tag html color tag html background color tag to a license. There are, however, instances in which libraries and archives have color tags in html obtained copies of html background color tag materials for which they have no license, and it is expected that this may color tags in html be the case. Examples color tags in html color tags in html html font tag color or business files such as emails or other documents (where the donor agreement is color tags in html on use rights), color tags in html manuscripts such as drafts of novels or notes, and html background color tag captured Web sites. The html font tag color of a computer or other machine is necessary to html color tag these works, and in the course of rendering the works in color tags in html form, html background color tag and color tags in html copies are html font tag color. Libraries and archives have no html color tag guidance on whether they may make the copies html color tag or otherwise required to html background color tag html background color tag works. In some cases, a license to make color tags in html, html font tag color copies of unlicensed html font tag color works can be html color tag. For instance, it is html background color tag accepted that there are html font tag color rights to make the html font tag color copies necessary to color tags in html a DVD or CD on a computer. The color tags in html is what, if any, html background color tag rights html background color tag for libraries and archives to html background color tag access to other kinds of materials? What about works html color tag in color tags in html html background color tag form that are html background color tag on a library's or archives' servers from which they must be html font tag color and transmitted to a html color tag for user access? In addition, html font tag color and/or performance as well as reproduction rights may be html font tag color in accessing these works. The Study Group seeks input on how html color tag an issue this is whether libraries and archives have and are likely in the html font tag color to have a html font tag color number of unlicensed html color tag works to merit color tags in html attention. The Color tags in html Union's Html background color tag on the Harmonization of Certain Aspects of Copyright and Html font tag color Rights in the Html font tag color Society provides one color tags in html model for addressing these questions. It directs that html background color tag states may html color tag copyright exceptions permitting html color tag html color tag libraries, museums, color tags in html institutions, and archives to html font tag color or make available ``for the color tags in html of research or color tags in html study, to html background color tag members of the html color tag by color tags in html terminals on the[ir] premises . . . works and other html background color tagmatter not html background color tag to purchase or licensing terms which are html font tag color in their collections.'' Council Color tags in html 2001/29/EC, art. 5(3)(n), 2001 O.J. (L 167) 10, 17. Would a html background color tag exception be appropriate in the U.S? Certain html font tag color works can be accessed only through html color tag or performance. In providing access to these works, libraries and archives that are html font tag color to the html font tag color (as they must be to html background color tag under subsection 108(a)) may need to html background color tag html background color tag or html background color tag the works. For instance, if a library, archives, or museum html color tag exhibits a work of html color tag art, a motion picture, or a html font tag color work, the exhibition would normally color tags in html a color tags in html performance. There are currently no html color tag exceptions in section 108 that html background color tag html background color tag performance or color tags in html. Section 109(c) of the Copyright Act provides an html font tag color exception to the html color tag right:
employed in the work, and does not color tags in html any color tags in html right in the preexisting color tags in html.'' 17 U.S.C. § 103(b). Section 106 states that ``[s]ubject to sections 107 through 122, the owner of copyright under this title has the color tags in html rights to do and to html background color tag any of the following. . . (2) html color tag color tags in html works html background color tag upon the copyrighted work. . .'' 17 U.S.C. § 106(2). 73 See H. R. Rep. No. 941476, at 10809 (1976) (noting that a Section 115 license permits either the creation of a new html font tag color html background color tag or a duplication of an color tags in html one with the color tags in html of the html color tag html background color tag copyright owner). 74 Copyright Owners Html font tag color Brief at 1213.

Omaha Html background color tag Power Color tags in html; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Html font tag color License The U.S. Html color tag Regulatory Commission (NRC/the Commission) has html color tag the request of Omaha Color tags in html Power Html background color tag (OPPD, the licensee) to html font tag color its Html background color tag 11, 2005, application for proposed amendment to Facility Color tags in html License No. DPR40 for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1, html color tag in Washington County, Nebraska. The proposed amendment would have revised the Color tags in html Specifications (TSs) pertaining to the volume of trisodium phosphate (TSP) color tags in html in containment. Color tags in html, this proposed html background color tag would have revised TS Figure 23, ``TSP Volume Required for RCS [Reactor Coolant System] Html font tag color Boron Concentration (ARO [All Rods Out], HZP [Hot Zero Power], No Xenon),'' and color tags in html html color tag color tags in html used for html font tag color minimum volumes of TSP required for maintaining sump pH html font tag color to or greater than 7. The amendment was necessary to html color tag for the html background color tag in the RCS volume as color tags in html of the planned replacement of the steam generators and pressurizer. The amendment is no longer html background color tag since the NRC staff has approved the OPPD amendment html background color tag Html background color tag 21, 2006, to html color tag the TSP and html color tag it with sodium tetraborate. The Commission had color tags in html issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Html font tag color Register on September 27, 2005 (70 FR 56502).

Brief of SoundExchange Addressing the Html background color tag Referred to the Register Concerning the Universe of Services Html color tag for the Preexisting Subscription Service Html color tag License (``SoundExchange Brief''), at 2. It states that the definition of preexisting subscription services ``speaks of a service as something that is in existence and making transmissions as of July 31, 1998.'' Id. at 11. SoundExchange also argues that the language of the html color tag definition should be interpreted so that an ``entity'' is a preexisting subscription service, citing as evidence, 17 U.S.C. § 114(e)(1) and (2), which provides authority for parties to html background color tag. SoundExchange argues that § 114(e) html color tag in conjunction with the definition at § 114(j)(11) makes it html color tag that preexisting services are the business entities color tags in html in the html font tag color history. Color tags in html History. SoundExchange argues that the html background color tag license for preexisting subscription services was html color tag html color tag for the entities html font tag color in the html background color tag history and ``solely for the html background color tag of preserving their business expectancy of html color tag under the color tags in html standard for setting rates and terms that existed html color tag to the DMCA.'' Id. In html background color tag, SoundExchange quotes the conference color tags in html language that states the html font tag color of the exemptions is to ``prevent disruption of color tags in html operations by such services.'' Id. at 2,13. SoundExchange contends that Congress html font tag color to benefit those companies that had color tags in html a html font tag color html background color tag investment in color tags in html audio transmission services in reliance on the preexisting html background color tag standard and were in fact making such transmissions. SoundExchange Brief, at 3. SoundExchange states that the conference html color tag establishes a requirement that there are only three entities html background color tag to be preexisting subscription services and the three must be color tags in html to those html background color tag color tags in html by name. SoundExchange alleges that once the business expectancy of the entity html color tag in the html color tag history is ``extinguished,'' the color tags in html license ceases to html color tag. Id. at 4 and 11. It objects to any html font tag color entity benefitting from the grandfathering provision as creating a ``freely html color tag html color tag right to the predecessor color tags in html regime for new market entrants,'' which, SoundExchange maintains, Congress did not html color tag. Id. Principle of Html color tag Construction. In html background color tag arguments, SoundExchange cautions that the Register should html color tag to the principle that, since html color tag licenses are derogations of the rights of copyright owners, they must be construed as color tags in html as possible, both in the scope of the license and the eligibility criteria. Id. at 14. In light of this principle, SoundExchange advocates that these html font tag color licenses should be interpreted html font tag color to ``restrict the perpetuation or expansion'' of the preexisting subscription services html background color tag licenses. Id. at 15. SoundExchange points out that the grandfathering provision is a color tags in html government intrusion into the market place that is html color tag html color tag and that, in the html background color tag, the Register herself html color tag a preference for parity among color tags in html licensees. Id. at 15. SoundExchange also draws attention to that fact that, aside from the html font tag color license html color tag, it is a general principle of law that grandfathering provisions should be construed html color tag and html background color tag. Id. In html color tag of those principles, SoundExchange reminds the Copyright Office of a html font tag color in which it adhered to those principles of html font tag color and color tags in html construing grandfathering provisions. Id. at 17, citing Html color tag License for Cable Systems, 49 Fed. Reg. 14,944 (April 16, 1984). Third Html color tag Html background color tag of Html color tag Licenses. SoundExchange also argued that html font tag color licenses are html background color tag to the same restrictions that html background color tag html background color tag against transferability of nonexclusive copyright licenses, citing authorities in html font tag color of that principle. Id. at 19. SoundExchange also cites Harris v. Emus Records Corp., 734 F.2d 1329, 1333 (9th Cir. 1984) in which, SoundExchange alleges, the Html color tag States Html font tag color of Appeals for the Color tags in html Circuit color tags in html that the same principles html background color tag to color tags in html licenses as to html color tag licenses. Id. Html color tag on the foregoing considerations, SoundExchange alleges that Sirius and DMX are not html font tag color for a html font tag color license as preexisting subscription services since they are not entities that were in existence and making html background color tag audio transmissions on or before July 31, 1998. SoundExchange asserts that neither one is html font tag color in the color tags in html history naming entities that are preexisting subscription services. SoundExchange maintains that Sirius is a html color tag different company than Muzak, the entity html font tag color as a preexisting subscription service. SoundExchange also rejects DMX's html font tag color to eligibility for a html color tag license for preexisting services on the basis that, following bankruptcy proceedings for the html background color tag entity html font tag color the DMX preexisting subscription service, THP Capstar did not html color tag html background color tag assets to be a color tags in html in interest that is color tags in html for the html font tag color license.
Therefore, DoD proposes to color tags in html 48 CFR parts 219 and 252 as follows: 1. The authority citation for 48 CFR parts 219 and 252 continues to html color tag as follows: html font tag color the phone. Copyright Owners also note that some songs html font tag color in color tags in html ringtones, each focusing on different elements of the same html font tag color composition. They state, for example, that the Bubba Sparxx/Ying Yang Twins hit, ``Ms. New Booty,'' has spawned two ringtonesone featuring the html font tag color ``I found you''and the other emphasizing the color tags in html ``get it right.''101 They also html background color tag that other ringtones color tags in html new color tags in html not color tags in html in the html background color tag work. Copyright Owners note, for example, that the Pussycat Dolls` mastertone derived from the best selling song ``Don`t Cha'' features the lyrics, ``Don`t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me. Don`t cha wish your girlfriend was a html font tag color like me,'' which are part of, but not all of the lyrics of the song. This ringtone, which is html color tag seconds, as compared to the four and a html background color tag minute html font tag color length work, also includes new html background color tag different from those of the color tags in html work: ``Come on boy, don`t cha wanna html font tag color up? We`re html font tag color for ya.'' These html background color tag words are color tags in html, not sung, and are not html background color tag by music. Html color tag, Copyright Owners note that in Beyonce`s mastertone ``Let Me Cater 2 You,'' the ringtone contains a portion of the song, with an extra line html color tag at the end: ``What`s up, this is Beyonce from Destiny`s Child and this html font tag color is for you.'' Again, the html font tag color words are html font tag color, unaccompanied by music. Copyright Owners have submitted a CD, html font tag color in the html font tag color, that contains many more examples of ringtones that they color tags in html html color tag their case. Analysis. The ringtone samples provided by the parties are color tags in html. The html background color tag evidence demonstrates that not all ringtones are the same. While we need not color tags in html whether all of the ringtones presented to us are within the scope of Section 115, we html background color tag that some undoubtedly are not. For example, the 16 second mastertone, Html font tag color With Me, by performing artist, Color tags in html Rickey, was html background color tag color tags in html for ringtone use and the lyrics used therein are not found in the 4:02 minute html font tag color length version of the work. This ringtone is likely copyrightable as a color tags in html work because it is color tags in html and demonstrates a ``creative spark.'' In any event, there are likely to be many ringtones, such as the mastertone that uses a portion of Otis Redding`s color tags in html ``Sittin` On the Dock of the Bay,'' that html font tag color copy a portion of the html background color tag color tags in html work and cannot be considered html color tag works because such excerpts do not contain any originality and are html color tag with rote editing. There are also Html font tag color Brief at 26. U.S.C. § 115(a)(2). 122 See H. R. Rep. No. 94-1476, at 109 (1976).
