COPYRIGHT OFFICE ANNOUNCES COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR
PERFORMANCE OF MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS BY COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES (65 FR 75167)
The Copyright Office of the Library of Congress
announces a cost of living adjustment of 3.4 percent in the
royalty rates paid by colleges, universities, or other
nonprofit educational institutions not affiliated with
National Public Radio for the use of copyrighted published
nondramatic musical compositions. The cost of living
adjustment is based on the change in the Consumer Price
Index from October 1999 to October 2000. Rounding off to the
nearest dollar, the adjustment in the royalty rate for the
use of musical compositions in the repertory of ASCAP and
BMI is $239 each and $65 for the use of musical compositions
in the repertory of SESAC.
