WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit today released an opinion upholding the Copyright Royalty Board’s “Web IV” music streaming rates for years 2016-2020. SoundExchange raised a number of arguments in an attempt to upend the CRB-established rates, all of which were rejected.
In response, the following statement can be attributed to Dennis Wharton, NAB Executive Vice President of Communications:
“NAB is delighted by the D.C. Circuit’s decision to uphold the streaming rates for broadcasters set by the Copyright Royalty Board."
