BACKGROUND

The Notice seeks comment on NCTA's "Petition for Rulemaking" filed August 17, 2005

("Petition") to address what NCTA characterizes as the "phantom signal" issue, i.e., the proper

calculation of Section 111 royalties when a distant signal is made available to subscribers in

some, but not all, communities served by a single cable system. Copyright Owners filed

comments urging the Office to expeditiously deny NCTA's Petition. One member of the group

of Copyright Owners, the Program Suppliers, submitted additional comments opposing the

Petition.

The only party to support NCTA's Petition was NCTA. While effectively ignoring its

prior proposal to rewrite the definition of "cable system" in Section 111(f), NCTA advocated

adoption of a subscriber group proposal described in the Petition and a separate ex parte filing

with the Office. That proposal, if adopted, would allow cable systems offering phantom signals

to calculate their Section 111 royalties on a "community-by-community" basis. Each system

would apply the DSE value for each distant signal it carried against only the "gross receipts"

derived from subscribers in the communities where the cable system made the signal available

(see NCTA Comments at 6-7) -- rather than against the system's total gross receipts as required

by the plain language of Section 111. See Copyright Owner Comments at 11-23.

The only other party filing comments in this proceeding (ACA) made no mention of

NCTA's Petition or subscriber group proposal. ACA merely attached its comments in the

Section. 109 proceeding where it urges the Office to recommend that Congress "eliminate the

`phantom signal' problem." ACA Comments at 10. According to the transmittal letter

accompanying ACA's comments, ACA now wants the Office itself to "eliminate the 'phantom

signal' problem."

The NCTA and ACA comments largely repeat the flawed arguments contained in

NCTA's Petition -- arguments to which Copyright Owners already have responded in their initial

comments. However, there are some statements in the NCTA and ACA comments that warrant a

brief reply.

DISCUSSION

1. NCTA's claim that it "has never obtained resolution" of the phantom signal issue

and that this issue is now "ripe for decision" (NCTA Comments at 2) is simply incorrect. The

Office resolved the phantom signal issue years ago. The fact that NCTA has repeatedly (and

unsuccessfully) sought reconsideration of longstanding Office interpretations of the Copyright

Act concerning phantom signals does not mean the phantom signal issue is, as NCTA mistakenly

asserts, unresolved.

Indeed, for nearly three decades, it has been clear that a "cable system" (as defined in

Section 111(f) of the Copyright Act) may not create subscriber groups to calculate Section 111

royalties merely because that system offers distant signals to only a portion of its subscribers.

Once a cable system offers a distant signal to any of its subscribers, the DSE value for that signal

must be applied against the "gross receipts" derived from all of the system's subscribers -- with

the limited exception of those gross receipts derived from subscribers who reside in communities

where that signal is local. See 17 U.S.C. § 111(d)(1)(B). The Office has consistently expressed

that view -- both in Federal Register notices2 and in correspondence with cable operators that

Reg. 2365, 2366 (January 9, 1995) ("1995 Notice") (referring to Office's"longstanding policy against creation of subscriber groups and allocation of gross receipts,except as provided for in section 111(d)(1)(B)"); id. at 2367 (noting that the "Office hashistorically required such attribution, based upon its interpretation that the Copyright Act permits

improperly seek to create subscriber groups for purposes of their Section 111 royalty

calculations. 3 NCTA itself has recognized, for many years, that the Office prohibits the creation

of such groups to accommodate phantom signals.4

Beginning in 1983, NCTA repeatedly requested reconsideration of Office rules

implicating phantom signals. NCTA Petition at 4-6. The Office responded to NCTA's requests

by initiating inquiries in 1989 and 1995. See 1989 Notice; 1995 Notice. However, the Office

terminated those inquiries in 1997, explaining that it would address the issue of phantom signals

Reg. 38390, 38391 (September 18,1989) ("1989 Notice") (explaining that, under "existing regulation," a cable system must applyits "combined" DSEs against its "combined" gross receipts); Interim Regulations in Docket No.RM 83-3, 49 Fed. Reg. 14944, 14948 (April 16, 1984) ("1984 Regulations") (explaining that,under its "interpretation" of Section 111, royalties "for distant signals carried to any part of acable system as defined in the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 111(0) must be computed on the basisof total, aggregated gross receipts from all subscribers to the system . . . . except for partiallydistant-partially local signals"); Advance Notice of Proposed Regulations in Docket No. RM 79-4, 44 Fed. Reg. 73123, 73124 (December 17, 1979) (noting that full DSE value of each distantsignal carried by a cable system must be applied against the total gross receipts of that system --even though "one part of [the] cable system receives more distant secondary transmissions thanother parts of the same system").3 Representative is the Letter dated December 28, 2006 from the Copyright Office LicensingDivision (Exhibit 1), advising: "The above reference[d] statement appears to be a merger of twosystems with different channel lineups. It appears that the Copyright Office definition of 'grossreceipts' (37 C.F.R. section 201.17(b)(1)) was not applied in computing the royalty fee owed bythe cable system. Specifically, the royalty fee was computed using an allocation of grossreceipts that seems to reflect the distribution of broadcast stations to distinct groups ofsubscribers rather than the fact that any of the stations were partially-distant. This method ofcomputing royalties is not allowed under section 111 of the Copyright Act." Likewise, in aLetter dated September 23, 2006 (Exhibit 2), the Licensing Division advised: "If the DSE iscreated by carriage in a community where the station is distant, it should be reported in allsubscriber groups where it would be distant. The failure to do so is referred to by the LicensingDivision as 'tiering' and by the industry as 'phantom signals.' By either name, this practice isnot consistent with the regulations of the Copyright Office." Similar statements are contained inLicensing Division correspondence dated August 2, 2007 (Exhibit 3); June 21, 2007 (Exhibit 4);and June 20, 2007 (Exhibit 5).

in its then-pending report to . Congress on compulsory licensing. See 1997 Termination Notice,

62 Fed. Reg. at 23361. In that report, the Office resolved the phantom signal issue by making

clear that the Office has no authority to adopt NCTA's proposals -- the very same proposals that

NCTA is once again advancing in the Petition that is the subject of this new proceeding. See

Copyright Office, A Review of the Copyright Licensing Regimes Covering Retransmission of

Broadcast Signals at 45 (August 1, 1997) ("1997 Report").

NCTA offers no explanation for its decision to wait nearly eight years following the 1997

Report to file its Petition and to criticize the Office for "unfairly delaying resolution" of the

phantom signal issue. NCTA, of course, does gain certain benefits for its membership by

claiming that this issue remains unresolved. See, e.g., Letter dated October 19, 2007 from cable

operator counsel to the Licensing Division (Exhibit 6) (citing pendency of NCTA Petition as a

reason for refusing to comply with Office rules on phantom signals); Letter dated August 27,

2007 (Exhibit 7) (same). The Petition and claims of delay also serve to divert Office resources

from processing pending Copyright Owner petitions regarding various Section 111 issues,

including the payment of Section 111 royalties for digital signals -- petitions filed prior to

NCTA's Petition. See NCTA Petition at 16 (urging Office to place the Petition "at the front of

the queue of rulemakings relative to cable's compulsory copyright").

For whatever reason, however, NCTA has inaccurately characterized its Petition as an

effort to bring closure to the phantom signal issue. See NCTA Comments at 2-3. That Petition

amounts to nothing more than an attempt to reopen a matter that the Copyright Office properly

resolved over a decade ago.

2. NCTA's claim -- that its phantom signal proposals can be adopted as a matter of

"administrative and regulatory policy" (NCTA Comments at 9) -- is equally wrong. The Office

5

Page 6: Bfr th PRHT FF LBRR F NR hntn, D.. Dt N. 200 RPL NT F PRHT NR · PDF fileNtnl Pbl Rd nd th ndn lnt (lltvl "prht nr" bt th flln rpl t th nt f th Ntnl bl & Tlntn tn ("NT" nd th rn bl

repeatedly (and correctly) has said that its position on phantom signals reflects the proper

"interpretation" of Section 111 -- not an administrative or regulatory policy position. See note 2

supra; 1997 Report at 45. Even ACA acknowledges that the Office's position on phantom

signals represents an "interpretation of Section 111." See ACA Comments at 10; id. at 12-13

(urging the Office to recommend that Congress amend Section 111 to accommodate phantom

signals). The relevant language and legislative history of Section 111 have not changed since the

Office first interpreted Section 111 with respect to phantom signals; likewise the Office's

interpretation should not change.

To support the argument that the Office may adopt NCTA's phantom signal proposals as

a matter of policy, NCTA selectively quotes from the Office's 1989 Notice to the effect that

. . . "the issues posed by merger and acquisition of systems areprimarily matters of administrative and regulatory policy."

NCTA Comments at 9 (quoting 1989 Notice, 54 Fed. Reg. at 38392). But NCTA omits from the

above quote the qualifying clause, where the Office stated:

The preliminary assessment of the Copyright Office is that, exceptfor the definition of cable system in section 1110 of the CopyrightAct, the issues posed by merger and acquisition of systems areprimarily matters of administrative and regulatory policy.

1989 Notice, 54 Fed. Reg. at 38392 (emphasis added). It is that statutory definition which

precludes adoption of NCTA's policy proposals on phantom signals -- proposals that

contemplate the calculation of royalties on a "community-by-community" basis (NCTA

Comments at 7) and not the "system" basis required by Sections 111(d) & (f) of the Copyright

Act. See Copyright Owner Comments at 11-23.

In any event, the 1989 language quoted by NCTA reflected only the Office's

"preliminary assessment" concerning mergers and acquisitions and one on which it sought

comment. In its 1997 Report to Congress, after receiving such comment, the Office provided its

6

Page 7: Bfr th PRHT FF LBRR F NR hntn, D.. Dt N. 200 RPL NT F PRHT NR · PDF fileNtnl Pbl Rd nd th ndn lnt (lltvl "prht nr" bt th flln rpl t th nt f th Ntnl bl & Tlntn tn ("NT" nd th rn bl

final assessment -- which is, as noted above, that the Office does not have authority to adopt

NCTA's phantom signal proposals and that those proposals can be adopted, if at all, only

through a legislative change in Section 111. Moreover, as NCTA has made clear, its proposals

go well beyond the merger and acquisition situation that concerned the Office in 1989. See page

8 infra; NCTA Comments at 3-5; Copyright Owner Comments at 6-8.

The Office's decision to allow subscriber groups for 3.75 signals (1997 Termination

Notice, 62 Fed. Reg. at 23362) also does not support NCTA's claim that the Office may change

its statutory interpretation to adopt NCTA's subscriber group proposals. See NCTA Comments

at 9. While the Office did not explain the basis for that decision in the 1997 Termination Notice,

it did explain in earlier notices that Section 801(b)(2)(B) of the Copyright Act requires it to treat

the situation regarding subscriber groups for 3.75 signals differently than subscriber groups for

permitted signals. See 1984 Regulations, 49 Fed. Reg. at 14946, 14948 (in assessing subscriber

groups for 3.75 signals, the Office must take account of the limits of the Copyright Royalty

Tribunal's authority under Section 801(b)(2)(B) of the Copyright Act, which provides that the

3.75 rate may apply only to additional distant signals permitted under FCC rule changes); 1989

Notice, 54 Fed. Reg. at 38391 (same). NCTA itself urged the Office to rely upon Section

801(b)(2)(B) to permit subscriber groups for 3.75 signals. See 1989 NCTA Comments at 11.

Thus, the decision to permit subscriber groups for 3.75 signals reflects the Office's interpretation

of Section 801(b)(2)(B) -- a provision which has no applicability to the NCTA's subscriber

group proposals for permitted distant signals that are the subject of this proceeding.

3. The fact that there has been increased consolidation in the cable industry (see

Notice, 72 Fed. Reg. at 70530-31; Petition at 8-9) also does not provide a basis for changing the

Office's interpretation of Section 111. The Office was well aware of such increased

7

Page 8: Bfr th PRHT FF LBRR F NR hntn, D.. Dt N. 200 RPL NT F PRHT NR · PDF fileNtnl Pbl Rd nd th ndn lnt (lltvl "prht nr" bt th flln rpl t th nt f th Ntnl bl & Tlntn tn ("NT" nd th rn bl

consolidation when it issued its 1997 Report concluding that it has no authority to adopt NCTA's

phantom signal proposals. See 1989 Notice, 54 Fed. Reg. at 38391; 1997 Report at 45-46.

Furthermore, NCTA has made clear in its Comments that these proposals are not tied to any

changed circumstances resulting from increased consolidation. Indeed, NCTA criticizes the

Office for focusing upon mergers as a basis for dealing with phantom signals, explaining that

phantom signals "can arise under several scenarios" (NCTA Comments at 3) and that "Maid'

from phantom signal calculations should extend in all such circumstances." Id. at 5.

These statements provide further confirmation that NCTA's phantom signal proposals are

inconsistent with Section 111 -- because the scenarios that NCTA describes existed before and

during the time that Congress considered adoption of Section 111. See Copyright Owner

Comments at 20. Although NCTA, at that time, secured a subscriber group exemption in Section

111 for partially-distant signals, it failed to secure such an exemption for partially-carried

(phantom) signals. It cannot now, thirty years later, have the Office create that exemption. See

id. at 20-21.

4. NCTA attacks the Office's interpretation of Section 111 on phantom signals as

affording Copyright Owners a "bonanza based upon non-performance of their works." NCTA

Comments at 10. ACA similarly mischaracterizes that interpretation as requiring cable operators

to "pay for a license for the non-use of copyrighted works." ACA Comments at 10 (emphasis in

original). According to ACA, "No theory of intellectual property rights supports an obligation to

pay for a license for works not used." Id. (emphasis in original).

These arguments fail to account for Section 111(d)(1)(B)(i) of the Copyright Act, 17

U.S.C. § 111(d)(1)(B)(i), which requires cable operators to pay a minimum royalty fee even if

they "use" no distant signals. Obviously, Congress never adopted the policy for which NCTA

8

Page 9: Bfr th PRHT FF LBRR F NR hntn, D.. Dt N. 200 RPL NT F PRHT NR · PDF fileNtnl Pbl Rd nd th ndn lnt (lltvl "prht nr" bt th flln rpl t th nt f th Ntnl bl & Tlntn tn ("NT" nd th rn bl

and ACA advocate. Beyond that, the NCTA/ACA "use" arguments reflect a fundamental

mischaracterization of the facts and a misunderstanding of copyright law in general and Section

111 in particular.

Aside from the statutory minimum fee, the Office's interpretation of Section 111 does not

require cable operators to pay for any distant signals they do not "use" or works they do not

"perform." Cable systems pay for only those distant stations that they actually carry and

therefore "use"; once they carry a station in any portion of their system, they engage in a public

performance of each work broadcast by the station, regardless of the total number of subscribers

who actually receive that work. See 17 U.S.C. § 101 (definition of "to perform publicly"). If a

cable system does not carry a distant signal in any portion of its system (and thus does not

perform any work included in that signal), the system does not ascribe any DSE value to that

signal in its Section 111 royalty calculation. Nothing in the Office's existing rules governing .

phantom signals and subscriber groups requires payment for "non-use" or affords copyright

owners a "bonanza for non-performance," as NCTA and ACA contend.

NCTA and ACA confuse the separate concepts of performance (or use) of compensable

works, on the one hand, with the revenue component of the Section 111 royalty formula, on the

other hand. Once the cable system offers a particular distant signal to any portion of its

subscribers (i.e., once the cable system has performed (used) the works), the system must include

in that revenue component the "gross receipts" derived from all its subscribers. There is nothing

remarkable about that requirement. In several respects, Section 1 . 11 requires cable systems to

include in the revenue component of the Section 111 formula gross receipts that are not directly

attributable to compensable works actually received by a system's subscribers, e.g.,

• Once a cable system offers a particular distant signal forany portion of a six-month accounting period, the DSE

9

Page 10: Bfr th PRHT FF LBRR F NR hntn, D.. Dt N. 200 RPL NT F PRHT NR · PDF fileNtnl Pbl Rd nd th ndn lnt (lltvl "prht nr" bt th flln rpl t th nt f th Ntnl bl & Tlntn tn ("NT" nd th rn bl

value of that signal must be applied against the "grossreceipts" derived from all of the system's subscribers forthe entire six-month period, regardless of whether any orall of those subscribers actually received that signal for theentire six months.

• Once a cable system offers a particular distant signal toone tier of subscribers, the DSE value of that signal mustbe applied against the "gross receipts" derived from all ofthe system's subscribers, regardless of whether thosesubscribers actually received that signal.

Copyright owners no more receive a "bonanza" or "windfall" from phantom signals than they do

in the above circumstances. As explained in the Copyright Owners' Comments at 2, 3-5,

defining the revenue component of the Section 111 royalty formula in a way that does not

precisely correspond to those gross receipts directly attributable to the compensable works was

the trade-off for the minuscule royalty rates in Section 111. See. Cablevision Sys. Dev. Co. v.

MPAA, 836 F.2d 599, 611 (D.C. Cir.) ("We find no requirement in the statute or its history that

the fee paid by a cable system reflect precisely the value it received from retransmissions --

indeed, as we have shown, in many cases the relationship is skewed considerably."), cert. denied,

487 U.S. 1235 (1988) ("Cablevision"). If the method for calculating gross receipts were

changed to reflect actual receipt of signals by subscribers in many more situations, as NCTA

proposes, a corresponding change in the Section 111 rates would be needed to maintain the

current statutory balance. See Copyright Owner Comments at 5, 8-9.

As the court in Cablevision also observed, the "reasonableness" of any Copyright Office

regulation concerning Section 111 is "bolstered by the ability it provides cable systems to control

their own destiny." 836 F.2d at 612. Certainly the existing Office approach to phantom signals

affords cable operators precisely that flexibility. As NCTA recognizes, a cable operator that

believes the Section 111 royalty fee for a phantom signal is too high can choose not to offer that

signal in any community that is part of a single system. See NCTA Comments at 11.

10

Page 11: Bfr th PRHT FF LBRR F NR hntn, D.. Dt N. 200 RPL NT F PRHT NR · PDF fileNtnl Pbl Rd nd th ndn lnt (lltvl "prht nr" bt th flln rpl t th nt f th Ntnl bl & Tlntn tn ("NT" nd th rn bl

Alternatively, the operator can choose to offer the signal to all its subscribers without increasing

its royalty fee -- the same option that frequently is offered in marketplace negotiations outside

the compulsory license. See Copyright Owner Comments at 4-5. An additional alternative is to

avoid consolidation of facilities with different distant signal offerings. In contrast, copyright

owners have no option other than to make their works available to the cable operator under

Section 111.

Finally, NCTA complains that the Office's view of the law "makes no sense" because it

requires payment of royalties for works that "are not being seen by the operator's customers."

NCTA Comments at 2. It is more than strange that the principal representative of the cable

television industry would complain about requiring payments for programming "not being seen"

by cable subscribers. Indeed, the cable business model is premised on requiring each subscriber

to pay for packages of programming, the majority of which programming is never "seen" by that

subscriber. In defense of that business model, NCTA itself has been a vocal opponent of any "a

la carte" requirement that would allow consumers to pay for only programming they want to see.

See A La Carte - Fewer Choices, Less. Diversity, Higher Prices, http://www.ncta.com/

IssueBrief. aspx?contentId=1 5 (last visited March 25, 2008). In any event, there is nothing in

Section 111 that restricts royalty payment to copyrighted works actually "seen" by cable

subscribers. The fact that NCTA's proposals are based upon the notion that only programming

actually seen should be compensated under Section 111 provides further confirmation of the

impropriety of those proposals.

5. NCTA also criticizes the Office for misapplying NCTA's subscriber group

proposals. See NCTA Comments at 12 n.31. But the Office did no more than apply NCTA's

proposals in the same way that many of NCTA's own members have done.

11

Page 12: Bfr th PRHT FF LBRR F NR hntn, D.. Dt N. 200 RPL NT F PRHT NR · PDF fileNtnl Pbl Rd nd th ndn lnt (lltvl "prht nr" bt th flln rpl t th nt f th Ntnl bl & Tlntn tn ("NT" nd th rn bl

According to NCTA, cable operators utilizing the subscriber group theory must calculate

a minimum fee for each subscriber group with less than one DSE -- and then add those minimum

fees to the royalties calculated for each subscriber group with one or more DSEs. See NCTA

Comments at 12 n.31 (stating that Copyright Office "miscalculates" the royalty owed by one of

its hypothetical cable systems because it "mistakenly failed to compute the minimum fee due

from subscribers in Group 1"). Cable operators, however, have not been following NCTA's own

approach. Rather, they have been routinely ascribing a zero royalty -- rather than the minimum

fee -- to any subscriber group with no DSEs. 5 Likewise, they have been using fractional DSE

values (rather than a minimum fee) to calculate the royalty for any subscriber group with less

than one, but more than zero, DSEs. 6

As the Office has recognized, there are multiple methods for implementing a subscriber

group policy for phantom signals. See Notice at 70531 & n.6. The one trait they all share in

common is that none is consistent with Section 111.

5 See, e.g., Exhibit 8 (calculating royalty for subscriber groups 3, 4 & 6 as $0); Exhibit 9(calculating royalty for subscriber groups 3 & 4 as $0); Exhibit 10 (calculating royalty forsubscriber group 3 as $0).6 See, e.g., Exhibit 8 (calculating royalty for subscriber groups 1, 5 & 7 as one-quarter of theminimum fee because only one distant network station was offered to each group); Exhibit 9(calculating royalty for subscriber groups 1 & 6 as one-quarter of the minimum fee because onlyone distant network station was offered to each group).

RE: Toledo, OH (ID #7272) 2005/2Buckeye Cablevision Inc.

Dear Mr. Cinnamon:

The above reference statement appears to be a merger of two systems withdifferent channel lineups. It appears that the Copyright Office definition of "grossreceipts" (37 C.F.R. section 201.17(b)(1) was not applied in computing the royalty feeowed by the cable system. Specifically, the royalty fee was computed using an allocationof gross receipts that seems to reflect the distribution of broadcast stations to distinctgroups of subscribers rather than the fact that any of the stations were partially-distant.This method of computing royalties is not allowed under section 111 of the Copyright Act.Licensing Division no longer follows the policy of accepting such statements withoutruling on their sufficiency or adequacy. Please make the necessary corrections andrecompute the royalty fee.

Please respond via fax (202-707-0905) or email ([email protected] ). Any additionalpayment must be submitted by EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) and should alsoinclude the applicable 1% interest accruing from March 2, 2006.

RE: Dewitt Town, NY (ID #7857) Amendment 2005/1

Dear Mr. Rocco:

The allocation of distant stations described in this Statement (different channellineups) exclude DSEs from some areas where they would be distant, if carried. Thisis acceptable if the station is carried in areas where local, only. If the DSE is createdby carriage in a community where the station is distant, it should be reported in allsubscriber groups where it would be distant. The failure to do so is referred to by theLicensing Division as "tiering" and by the industry as "phantom signals". By eithername, this practice is not consistent with the regulations of the Copyright Office.Please review the local distant status of the stations reported.

Please respond via fax (202-707-0905) or email ([email protected] ). Anyunderpayment must include the applicable 2% interest fee accruing from March 2,2004. You may reach me at (202) 707-2219 if you have any questions.

Re: Renaissance Media LLC-007718Thibodaux, LA 2006/1

Dear Ms. Berry:

The subject Statement of Account apparently employed a method of allocating distant signalsto subscriber groups not in accordance with current Copyright Office regulations.

For example, the cable system appears to be tiering broadcast station WGN since it is notreported in all subgroups. As a wholly distant station, it should have been reported as distantthroughout the system.

Please review all of the stations carried by this system for this accounting period and revisethe Statement as necessary.

The additional payment plus interest must be submitted by electronic funds transfer (EFT).The interest accrual period is from August 30, 2006 until the date of you EFT. The applicableinterest is 2.0%. Please send notification of the EFT to [email protected]. In the notification. pleaseprovide the amount, the ID number and accounting period.

Re: Falcon Cable System Co II LP--035135--South Lake Tahoe, CA 2006/1

Dear Ms. Berry:

In Space G for the above-referenced Statement of Account, broadcast station WGNwas reported as "not shown" in portions of this system. It appears that this signal isdistant to the entire cable system.

The Copyright Office does not allow cable systems to prorate its gross receiptswhen a DSE is incurred. This is based on 37 C.F.R. 201.17(b)(1) which states that"gross receipts shall be aggregated and the DSE calculations shall be made against theaggregated amount." Since WGN is carried in the third subscriber group where it isdistant and therefore incurs a DSE, it must be treated as if it were carried throughout thesystem even in those areas where it is not carried. Therefore, it would appear that WGN-should be reported as wholly distant. Please make the necessary corrections to Part 9and recompute the royalty fee.

The additional payment plus interest must be submitted by electronic fundstransfer (EFT). The interest accrual period is from August 30, 2006 until the date of youEFT. The applicable interest is 2.0%. Please send notification of the EFT [email protected] . In the notification, please provide the amount, the ID number andaccounting period.

Re: Time Warner CableJamestown, NY 2005/2 (006411)

Dear Ms. Carroll:

Your May 31, 2007 letter (copy attached) to Karen Conaty regarding Time WarnerCable's 2005/2 consolidated Statement of Account ("SOA") for its Jamestown, NY system hasbeen forwarded to me for a response. In your letter, you raise questions related to the identity ofspecific communities within each reported subscriber group and the local/distant status of certainbroadcast signals. In response to your request, Time Warner Cable has revised Part D of theSOA to indicate the subscriber group associated with each community, and has revised Part G toreflect the subscriber groups where each broadcast signal was retransmitted. Additionally, TimeWarner Cable has reviewed the local/distant status of the broadcast stations carried and revisedthe enclosed SOA accordingly. Please note that new subscriber groups have been created as aresult of these revisions.

In response to your specific questions, we agree that WGRZ is distant in WayneTownship, PA. As you suggest, we have created a separate subscriber group (Group 6) forWayne Township. Certain other signals have also been determined to be distant in WayneTownship.

Your letter correctly observes that Canadian broadcast stations CFTO, CHCH and CIIIare reported as partially distant stations, and you question why these stations have not beenreported as distant to all communities covered by this SOA. Your letter also suggests that certain

other signals should have been reported as distant in subscriber groups where they were notcarried.

The above-referenced SOA is a consolidated filing for many discrete communities, whichmay reflect numerous mergers and acquisitions over the years of former stand-alone cableoperations. These communities are divided into multiple subscriber groups on the SOA. Asyour letter anticipates, certain broadcast stations are carried in some, but not all, of thecommunities included as part of the SOA. Where carried and distant, those broadcast stationshave been reported accordingly. However, to the extent that subscribers in other communitiescovered by this filing either did not receive these stations, or carriage of these stations was localin particular communities, the SOA reflects such lack of carriage or local status of these stations'carriage. Time Warner Cable respectfully submits that neither the Copyright Office'sregulations, nor the Copyright Act itself, requires the reporting and payment of royalties for theretransmission of broadcast signals where those signals are, in fact, not carried by the cableoperator in a particular community (so-called "phantom signal" situations).

The fundamental rationale for cable television compulsory license copyright liabilityunder Section 111 is to compensate copyright owners for carriage of distant non-networkprogramming. Section 111(d)(3)(A) provides that cable compulsory license royalty fees are tobe distributed to copyright owners whose works were included in secondary transmissions "madeby a cable system of a nonnetwork television program in whole or in part beyond the localservice area of the primary transmitter" (emphasis added). Indeed, the definition of "distantsignal equivalent" ("DSE") in Section 111(f) is framed in terms of secondary transmissions "ofany nonnetwork television programming carried by a cable system in whole or in part beyondthe local service area of the primary transmitter of such programming" (emphasis added). In thesituation you have raised, the broadcast stations are not being "carried," and no secondaryretransmission of those signals has been "made," in the affected communities. Thus, there is nological or statutory support for imposing payments on Time Warner Cable's subscribers incommunities where these signals are not offered.

In this regard, we note that, in 1989, the Copyright Office instituted an inquiry toconsider the "phantom signal" issue, describing the questions raised by the forced reporting ofsignals that are not actually received by all communities in a system as "problematic" and"vexing." 54 Fed. Reg. 38390 (1989). That proceeding was terminated by the Copyright Officein 1997 without reaching any conclusions relating to phantom signals. We also note that onAugust 17, 2005, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association ("NCTA") filed aPetition for Rulemaking seeking clarification with respect to the "phantom signal" issue. Whileinquiring whether "Congress should amend Section 111 and provide a legislative solution to theproblem,"1 the Copyright Office has taken no formal action regarding the NCTA petition itself.

It is the policy of Time Warner Cable to pay all copyright royalties required by theCopyright Act, but to avoid overpayments that are ultimately borne by its subscribers. Thus, inlight of the considerable ambiguity surrounding the "phantom signal" issue, and particularly inlight of the fact that there is no established mechanism under the Copyright Act for the refund ofoverpayments due to a subsequent clarification of law occurring more than 60 days after thefiling of a SOA, Time Warner Cable respectfully declines to subject its subscribers to thepayment of copyright royalties for signals in communities where the signals are in fact not beingretransmitted, at least until such time as a final, non-appealable ruling is issued dictating such aresult.

As to the signals actually carried in particular subscriber groups, we disagree with yourfindings with respect to the following signals:

1) WNED is local in revised Subscriber Group 3 (Cherry Creek, SouthDayton and Villenova) due to Grade B coverage.

2) WQLN is local in revised Subscriber Group 4 (Brockton, Pomfret,Portland, Stockton, Cassadaga and Fredonia) due to Grade B coverage.

Based on the foregoing, Time Warner Cable encloses a corrected SOA for 2005/2. Inaddition, Time Warner Cable has calculated an overpayment in the amount of $11,893.42 andthus encloses an EFT form to request the corresponding refund.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please direct any questions concerning theforegoing to the undersigned.

RE: Time Warner CableJamestown, NY 2006/1 (006411)

Dear Mr. Agee:

Your August 16, 2007 letter (copy attached) to Thomas Doheny regarding Time WarnerCable's 2006/1 Statement of Account for its consolidated Jamestown, NY system has beenforwarded to me for a response. In your letter, you note that a space G was submitted for eachsubscriber group and that distant signals were reported in some, but not all, subscriber groups.

As you letter indicates, a separate Space G was prepared for each subscriber group toindicate the broadcast stations carried in the communities served by that subscriber group.Accordingly, Space G indicates the broadcast channel line-ups for each subscriber group.

According to your letter, computing a royalty fee based only upon the gross receipts inthe communities where a particular station is carried (so-called "phantom signal" situations) is"not allowed under section 111 of the Copyright Act." Time Warner Cable respectfully submitsthat neither the cited language, nor the Copyright Act itself, requires the reporting and paymentof royalties for the "use" of broadcast signals where those signals are, in fact, not "used" by thecable operator in a particular community.

The fundamental rationale for cable television compulsory license copyright liabilityunder Section 111 is to compensate copyright owners for carriage of distant non-networkprogramming. Section 111(d)(3)(A) provides that cable compulsory license royalty fees are tobe distributed to copyright owners whose works were included in secondary transmissions "madeby a cable system of a nonnetwork television program in whole or in part beyond the localservice area of the primary transmitter" (emphasis added).

signal equivalent" ("DSE") in Section 111(0 is framed in terms of secondary transmissions "ofany non-network television programming carried by a cable system in whole or in part beyondthe local service area of the primary transmitter of such programming" (emphasis added).

In this Statement of Account, certain stations are not being "carried," and no secondaryretransmission of those signals have been "made," in the affected communities. Thus, this is notproperly viewed as a "pro-ration" of a DSE, but rather as a situation where no DSE has beencreated in the affected communities. There is no logical or statutory support for imposingpayments on Time Warner Cable's subscribers in communities where these signals are notoffered.

In this regard, we note that, in 1989, the Office instituted an inquiry to consider whetherto adopt a different position with respect to the "phantom signal" issue, describing the questionsraised by the forced reporting of signals that are not actually received by all communities in asystem as "problematic" and "vexing." 54 Fed. Reg. 38390 (1989). That proceeding wasterminated by the Office in 1997 without reaching any conclusions regarding the appropriatenessof the policy. We also note that on August 17, 2005 the National Cable & TelecommunicationsAssociation ("NCTA") filed a Petition for Rulemaking seeking clarification with respect to the"phantom signal" issue. We understand that the Office has taken no action regarding the NCTApetition.

It is the policy of Time Warner Cable to pay all copyright royalties required by theCopyright Act, but to avoid overpayments that are ultimately borne by its subscribers. Thus, inlight of the considerable ambiguity surrounding the "phantom signal" issue, and particularly inlight of the fact that there is no established mechanism under the Copyright Act for the refund ofoverpayments due to a subsequent clarification of law occurring more than 60 days after thefiling of a Statement of Account, Time Warner Cable respectfully declines to subject itssubscribers to the payment of copyright royalties for the "use" of signals in communities wherethe signals are in fact not being retransmitted, at least until such time as a final, non-appealableruling is issued dictating such a result.

We trust that this response fully explains Time Warner Cable's position regarding theissues you have raised. Please let me know if there are any additional questions.

EXAMPLE:COMPUTATION OF COPYRIGHT ROYALTY FEE FOR CABLE SYSTEM CARRYING "PARTIALLY-DISTANT' STATIONS

5. Calculate a separate Base Rate Fee for each "subscriber group:using (1) the rates given above: (2) the total number of DSEs for thatgroup's complement of stations; and (3) the amount of 'gross receipts"attributable to that group.

6. Add together the Base Rate Fees for each 'subscriber group' todetermine the system's total Base Rate Fee.

7. If any portion of the cable system is located in whole or in part withina major television market, you may also need to complete part 9, block B ofthe Schedule to determine the Syndicated Exclusivity Surcharge.

WhatTo Do If You Need More Space on the DSE Schedule. There areno printed continuation sheets for the Schedule. In most cases the blanksprovided should be large enough for thenecessary information. If you needmore space in a particular part, make a photocopy of the page in question(identifying It as a "Continuation Sheet'), enter the additional informationon that copy, and attach it to the DSE Schedule.

Rounding Off DSEe. In computing DSEs on the DSE Schedule, youmay round off to no less than the third decimal point. If you round off a DSEin any case, you must round off DSEs throughout the Schedule as follows:• When the fourth decimal point is 1. 2, 3, or 4 the third decimal remains

unchanged (example: .34647 Is rounded to .346).• When the fourth decimal point is 5, 6, 7, 8. or 9 the third decimal is

rounded up (example: .34651 is rounded to .347).

The example below is intended to supplement the instructions for calculat-ing only the Base Rate Fee for "partially-distare stations. The cablesystem would also be subject to the Syndicated Exclusivity Surcharge for'partially-distanr stationa If any portion is located within a major televisionmarket.

In General: If any of the stations you carried was"partially-distant, the statute allows you, in computing your Base Rate Fee. to excludereceipts from subscribers located within the station's local service area from your system's total "gross receipts." To take advantage ofthis exclusion. you must

Flret Divideall of your subscribers into'arbsaiber groups," each group consisting entirely of subscribersthat are'distant" to th esamestation or the same group of stations.

Next Treat each subscriber group as if it were a separate cable system. Determine the number of OSEs and the portion of yoursystem's "gross receipts' attributable to that group, and calculate a separate Base Rate Fee for each group.

Finally: Add up the separate Base Rate Fees for each subscriber group. That total is the Base Rate Fee for your system.

Important: If any portion of your cable system is located within thetop 100 television market and the station isnot exempt, you must alsocompute a Syndicated Exclusivity Surcharge for each subscriber group. In this case. complete both block A and B below. However, ifyour cable system is wholly located outside all major television markets, complete block A only.

How to Identify • Subscriber Group

Step 1: Determine the local service area of each wholly-distant and each partially-distant station you carried.

Step 2: For each wholly-distant and each partially-distant station you carried. determine which of your subscribers were locatedoutside the station's local service area. A subscriber located outside the local service area of a station is 'distant" to that station (and.by the same token, the station is -distant' to the subscriber.)

Step 3: Divide your subscribers into subscriber groups according to the complement of stations to which they are "distant." Eachsubscriber group must consist entirely of subscribers who are - distant" to exactly the same complement of stations. Note that a cablesystem will have only one subscriber group when the distant stations it carried have local service areas that coincide.

Computing the Base Rate Fee for each subscriber group: Block A contains separate sections, one for each of your system'ssubscriber groups.

In each section:

• Identify the communities/areas represented by each subscriber group.

• Give the call sign for each of the stations in the subscriber group's complement—that is, each station that is "distant" to all of thesubsaibers in the group.

• If:1) your system is located wholly outside all major and smaller televisor markets, give each station's DSE as you gave it in parts 2, 3,

and 4 of this Schedule; or,2) any portion of your system is located in a major or smaller televisor market, give each station's DSE as you gave it in block B, part

6 of this Schedule.

• Add the DSEs for each station. This gives you the total DSEs for the particular subscriber group.

• Calculate 'gross receipts' for the subscriber group. For further explanation of 'gross receipts' seepage (vi) of the General Instructions.

• Compute a Base Rate Fee for each subscriber group using the formula outline in block B of part 8 of this Schedule on the precedingpage. In making this computation, use the DSE and "gross recipts" figure applicable to the particular subscriber group (that is, the totalDSEs for that group's complement of stations and total 'gross receipts' from the subscribers in that group). You do not need to showyour actual calculations on the form.

AINITIAL REMINDER SENUG 3 2007

FINAL REMINDER SENT AUG 21/7

Re: Charter Communications VI-Alderson, WV (ID 7258) 06/1

Dear Ms. Berry:

An addendum to Space G appears to indicate that the allocation of distantstations described in this Statement exclude DSEs from some areas where theywould be distant, if carried. The Copyright Office does not allow cable systemsto prorate its gross receipts when a DSE is incurred, in this manner. This isbased on 37 C.F.R. 201.17(b)(1) which states that "gross receipts shall beaggregated and the DSE calculations shall be made against the aggregatedamount". Since these broadcast stations are carried in communities where theyare distant and therefore incur a DSE, they must be treated as if they werecarried throughout the system even in those areas where they are not carried.Please review and make the necessary changes.

Please respond via fax (202-707-0905) or email ([email protected] ). Anyadditional payment must be submitted by EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) andshould also include the applicable 2% interest accruing from August 30, 2006.Please send a notification of the EFT to [email protected] providing the amount,the ID number and accounting period. You may reach me at (202) 707-2219if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Rickie L. Agee, Sr.Senior Licensing Examiner

SECONDARY TRANSMISSION SERVICE: SUBSCRIBERS AND RATESIn General: The information in space E should cover all categories of "secondary transmission service" of the cable Esystem: that is, the retransmission of television and radio broadcasts by your system to subscribers. Give informationabout other services (including pay cable) in space F, not here. All the facts you state must be those existing on the lastday of the accounting period (June 30 or December 31, as the case may be). Secondary

Number of Subscribers: Both blocks In space E call for the number of subscribers to the cable system, broken down transmissionby categories of secondary transmission service. In general, you can compute the number of "subscribers" in each Service:category by counting the number of billings in that category (the number of persons or organizations charged separately Subscribersfor the particular service at the rate indicated—not the number of sets receiving service). and Rates

Rate: Give the standard rate charged for each category of service. Include both the amount of the charge and the unitin which it is generally billed. (Example: "$8/mth"). Summarize any standard rate variations within a particular ratecategory, but do not include discounts allowed for advance payment.

Block 1:In the left-hand block in space E, the form lists the categories of secondary transmission service that cablesystems most commonly provide to their subscribers. Give the number of subscribers and rate for each listed categorythat applies to your system. Note: Where an individual or organization is receiving service that falls under differentcategories, that person or entity should be counted as a "subscriber' in each applicable category. Example: a residentialsubscriber who pays extra for cable service to additional sets would be included in the count under "Service to the FirstSet," and would be counted once again under "Service to Additional Set(s)."

Block 2: If your cable system has rate categories for secondary transmission service that are different from thoseprinted in block 1, (for example, tiers of services which include one or more secondary transmissions), list them, togetherwith the number of subscribers and rates, in the right-hand block. A two or three word description of the service is sufficient.

COMPUTING THE BASE RATE FEE-PARTS OF THE DSESCHEDULEDetermine whether any of the stations you carried were "partially-dis-tant"-that is, whether you retransmitted the signal of one or more stationsto subscribers located within the station's local service area and, at thesame time, to other subscribers located outside that area.• If none of the stations were "partially-distant," calculate your Base Rate

Fee according to the following rates-for the system's permitted DSEsas reported in block B, part 6 or from part 5. whichever is applicable.First DSE 1.013% of "gross receipts"Each of the second, third, and fourth DSEs .668% of "gross receipts"The fifth and each additional DSE .314% of °gross receipts'

PARTIALLY-DISTANT STATIONS- PART 9 OF THE DSE SCHEDULE• If any of the stations were 'partially-distant':

1. Divide at of your subscribers into "subscriber groups" depending ontheir location. A particular 'subscriber group' consists of all subscriberswho are -distant" with respect to exactly the same complement of stations.

2. Identify the communities/areas represented by each subscriber group.3. For each 'subscriber group,' calculate the total number of DSEs of

that group's complement of stations.If your system is located wholly outside all major and smaller television

markets, give each station's DSEs as you gave them in parts 2, 3, and 4 ofthe Schedule; or

If any portion of your system is located in a major or smaller televisionmarket, give each station's DSE as you gave it In block B, part 6 of thisSchedule.

4. Determine the portion of the total 'gross receipts° you reported inspace K (page 7) that is attributable to each "subscriber group:

5. Calculate a separate Base Rate Fee for each 'subscriber group;using (1) the rates given above: (2) the total number of DSEs for thatgroup's complement of stations; and (3) the amount of 'gross receipts'attributable to that group.

6. Add together the Base Rate Fees for each "subscriber group' todetermine the system's total Base Flats Fee. •

7. If any portion of the cable system is located in whole or in part withina major television market, you may also need to complete part 9, block B ofthe Schedule to determine the Syndicated Exclusivity Surcharge.

What To Do If You Need More Space on the DSE Schedule. There areno printed continuation sheets for the Schedule. In most cases the blanksprovided should be large enough for the necessary information. If you needmore space in a particular part, make a photocopy of the page in question(identifying it as a "Continuation Sheet"), enter the additional informationon that copy, and attach it to the DSE Schedule.

Rounding Off DSEe. In computing DSEs on the DSE Schedule, youmay round off to no less than the third decimal pcintlf you round off a DSEin any case, you must round off DSEs throughout the Schedule as follows:• When the fourth decimal point is 1, 2, 3, or 4 the third decimal remains

undianged (example: .34647 is rounded to .346).• When the fourth decimal point is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 the third decimal is

rounded up (example: .34651 is rounded to .347).

The example below is intended to supplement the instructions for calculat-ing only the Base Rate Fee for partillly-distant" stations. The cablesystem would also be subject to the Syndicated Exclusivity Surcharge for'Partially-dkrtant" station4 if any portion is located within a major televisionmarket.

In this case, complete both block A and B below. However, ifDistant your cable system is wholly located outside all major television markets, complete block A only.

StationsHow to Identify a Subecriber Group

Step 1: Determine the local service area of each wholly-distant and each partially-distant station you carried.

Step 2: For each wholly-distant and each partially-distant station you carried, determine which of your subscribers were locatedoutside the station's local service area. A subscriber located outside the local service area of a station Is "distant' to that station (and,by the same token, the station is "distant' to the subscriber.)

Step 3: Divide your subscribers into subscriber groups according to the complement of stations to which they are "distant" Eachsubscriber group must consist entirely of subscribers who are 'distant' to exactly the same complement of stations. Note that a cablesystem wil have only one subscriber group when the distant stations it carried have local service areas that coincide.

Computing the Base Rate Fee for each subscriber group: Block A contains separate sections, one for each of your system'ssubscriber groups.

In each section:

• Identify the communities/areas represented by each subscriber group.

• Give the call sign for each of the stations in the subscriber group's complement—that Is, each station that is "distant" to all of thesubscribers in the group.

• If:1) your system Is located wholly outside all major and smaller televison markets, give each station's DSE as you gave it in parts a 3,

and 4 of this Schedule; or,2) any portion of your system is located in a major or smaller televisor market, give each stations DSE as you gave it in block B. part

6 of this Schedule

• Add the DSEs for each station. This gives you the total OSEs for the particular subscriber group.

• Calculate 'gross receipts for the subscriber group. For furth er explanation of 'gross receipts see page (vi) of the General Instructions.

• Compute a Base Rate Fee for each subscriber group using the formula outline in block B of part 8 of this Schedule on the precedingpage. In making this computation, use the DSE and "gross recipts" figure applicable to the particular subscriber group (that is, the totalDSEs for that group's complement of stations and total 'gross receipts' from the subscribers in that group). You do not need to showyour actual calculations on the form.
