Notice of new rule making for the Music Modernization Act

Hi all –
The copyright office issued their proposed rule for the new 1401(c) section of the copyright law. This part of the new MMA addresses non-commercial use of orphaned/abandoned sound recordings.https://www.federalregister.<wbr />gov/documents/2019/02/05/2019-<wbr />00873/noncommercial-use-of-<wbr />pre-1972-sound-recordings-<wbr />that-are-not-being-<wbr />commercially-exploited
It’s important to note that the MMA also includes 1401(f) which addresses the ability of libraries, museums, and archives to take advantage of 108(h); how useful 1401(f) remains to be seen, but it’s certainly, as it currently is proposed, a greater burden on our institutions than Sec 108.
Enjoy!
Kathleen DeLaurenti
