Digital Performance Right In Sound Recordings Act Of 1995 (Anti Piracy)

For more than 20 years, the RIAA has been fighting to give copyright owners of sound recordings the right to authorize digital transmissions of their work. Before the passage of the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act of 1995, sound recordings were the only U.S. copyrighted work denied the right of public performance.
This bill allows copyright owners of sound recordings the right to authorize certain digital transmissions of their works, including interactive digital audio transmissions, and to be compensated for others. This right covers, for example, interactive services, digital cable audio services, satellite music services, commercial online music providers and future forms of electronic delivery. Most non-interactive transmissions are subject to statutory licensing at rates to be negotiated or if necessary, arbitrated.
Exempt from this bill are traditional radio and television broadcasts and subscription transmissions to businesses. The bill also confirms that existing mechanical rights apply to digital transmissions that result in a specifically identifiable reproduction by or, for the transmission recipient, much as they apply to record sales.
