Copyright Office Opens Inquiry Into U.S. PROs
The U.S. Copyright Office has opened an inquiry into PROs in response to a letter sent by several lawmakers last September.
Copyright Office posted a notice of inquiry on Monday (Feb. 10) in the Federal Registrar, requesting more information about issues related to American-based performance rights organizations (PROs). The inquiry is a response to the House Judiciary Committee’s letter to the Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, six months ago, which requested an examination of “concerns” and “emerging” issues in the PRO sector. “It is difficult to assess how efficiently PROs are distributing general licensing revenue based on publicly available data,” the letter read.
