Can a copyright owner audit a satellite carrier operating under section 119?
Yes. STELA directs the Copyright Office to adopt rules to permit “interested parties” to “verify and audit” satellite carrier statements of account and royalty payments. However, the audit provision for satellite carriers differs from that for cable operators. For example, the section 119 provision does not have specific references to confidentiality, prospective application, designation of a single auditor, or remedy and cure.
