Register of Copyrights Karyn Temple sent Êa letter Êto House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Ranking Member Doug Collins (R-GA) recommending that Congress not reauthorize the compulsory license for secondary transmissions of distant broadcast programming by satellite under 17 U.S.C. ¤ 119. The provision, which was most recently extended by the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act Reauthorization Act (STELAR) in 2014, is slated to expire on December 31, 2019. Register Temple notes in the letter that this recommendation is consistent with the Office’s long-standing position on the section 119 compulsory license, reflected in previous reports sent to Congress in 2008 and 2011. Temple states that the section 119 compulsory license has been “made unnecessary by the substantial growth of the satellite industry” and the “changed realities of the programming delivery market.”
