Does STELA require the Copyright Office to submit any reports to Congress?
Yes. By the end of August 2011, the Register of Copyrights, in consultation with the FCC, must submit a report on market-based alternatives to statutory licensing to the House and Senate Judiciary and Commerce Committees. STELA states that the Register should report on “proposed mechanisms, methods, and recommendations on how to implement a phase-out” of sections 111, 119 and 122 of the Copyright Act. STELA also states that the report should include recommendations for alternate means to implement a timely and effective phase-out of the statutory licensing requirements and suggest appropriate legislative or administrative actions to achieve this result.
