(snip personal address)
Thank you . . . . . for contacting me to express your support for Internet radio. I understand your concern about the decision of the Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) to enforce royalty fees and the effect it will have on Internet radio stations. At this time, the Copyright Office has not accepted the proposed rates and terms of the CARP proceeding. The current statute requires the Librarian of Congress to accept the terms so long as they are in compliance with the Copyright Act. A decision will be made no later that May 21, 2002. Currently, there is no pending legislation before Congress that would address this issue. Should related legislation come before the full Senate for a vote, please rest assured that I will keep your thoughts in mind. Thank you again for taking the time to make me aware of your concerns. Please do not hesitate to contact my office again whenever I can be of assistance to you and your family. Sincerely, Debbie Stabenow United States Senator
