Thank you, Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, for this opportunity to appear and present the views of the Copyright Office with respect to copyrighted broadcast programming on the Internet. Because of the nature of the issue and because of the Copyright Office's role in administering the compulsory licenses created by the copyright law, most of my testimony will focus on the advisability of compulsory licensing of Internet retransmissions of television broadcast signals. I will also discuss the existing compulsory license for sound recordings on the Internet.
