Special Notice about This Statement of Account - IMPORTANT The Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act of 2010 (STELA), Public Law 111-175 Congress reauthorized Section 119 of the Copyright Act for a new five-year term (through December 31, 2014), and it updated the license to reflect the digital television transition. New statutory terms and definitions have been added to account for the retransmission of digital television broadcast signals by satellite carriers. These changes may affect the number of distant television signals retransmitted by a satellite carrier, the royalty rates it would have to pay, and the way it must report such signals on the statement of account form. Satellite Royalty Fee Rates for Private Home Viewing and Commercial Establishments The Copyright Royalty Board published the royalty rates for the retransmission of distant broadcast signals under Section 119 of the Copyright Act for the period 201014. See 75 FR 53198 (August 31, 2010). In addition, the board published the 2012 cost-of-living adjustment in royalty rates. See 76 FR 74703 (December 1, 2011). New Statutory Definition of "Unserved Household" The term "unserved household" in Section 119(d)(10) of the Copyright Act has been amended. See page (ii) of the instructions. Additional Definitions The terms "non-network station," "primary stream," "multicast stream," and "qualifying date" were added to Section 119 by STELA. Note: The term "superstation" has been redesignated as "non-network station." See the instructions in the form for newly added terms and all definitions. Removal of "Significantly Viewed" Provision The provision regarding "significantly viewed" television signals was moved from Section 119 to Section 122 of the Copyright Act.
