§ 513. Determination of reasonable license
fees for individual proprietors In the case of any performing
rights society subject to a consent decree which provides for
the determination of reasonable license rates or fees to be
charged by the performing rights society, notwithstanding the
provisions of that consent decree, an individual proprietor
who owns or operates fewer than 7 non-publicly traded
establishments in which nondramatic musical works are
performed publicly and who claims that any license agreement
offered by that performing rights society is unreasonable in
its license rate or fee as to that individual proprietor,
shall be entitled to determination of a reasonable license
rate or fee as follows:
(1) The individual proprietor
may commence such proceeding for determination of a reasonable
license rate or fee by filing an application in the applicable
district court under paragraph (2) that a rate disagreement
exists and by serving a copy of the application on the
performing rights society. Such proceeding shall commence in
the applicable district court within 90 days after the service
of such copy, except that such 90-day requirement shall be
subject to the administrative requirements of the court.
(2) The proceeding under paragraph (1) shall be held,
at the individual proprietor's election, in the judicial
district of the district court with jurisdiction over the
applicable consent decree or in that place of holding court of
a district court that is the seat of the Federal circuit
(other than the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) in
which the proprietor's establishment is located.
(3)
Such proceeding shall be held before the judge of the court
with jurisdiction over the consent decree governing the
performing rights society. At the discretion of the court, the
proceeding shall be held before a special master or magistrate
judge appointed by such judge. Should that consent decree
provide for the appointment of an advisor or advisors to the
court for any purpose, any such advisor shall be the special
master so named by the court.
(4) In any such
proceeding, the industry rate shall be presumed to have been
reasonable at the time it was agreed to or determined by the
court. Such presumption shall in no way affect a determination
of whether the rate is being correctly applied to the
individual proprietor.
(5) Pending the completion of
such proceeding, the individual proprietor shall have the
right to perform publicly the copyrighted musical compositions
in the repertoire of the performing rights society by paying
an interim license rate or fee into an interest bearing escrow
account with the clerk of the court, subject to retroactive
adjustment when a final rate or fee has been determined, in an
amount equal to the industry rate, or, in the absence of an
industry rate, the amount of the most recent license rate or
fee agreed to by the parties. (6) Any decision rendered in
such proceeding by a special master or magistrate judge named
under paragraph (3) shall be reviewed by the judge of the
court with jurisdiction over the consent decree governing the
performing rights society. Such proceeding, including such
review, shall be concluded within 6 months after its
commencement. (7) Any such final determination shall be
binding only as to the individual proprietor commencing the
proceeding, and shall not be applicable to any other
proprietor or any other performing rights society, and the
performing rights society shall be relieved of any obligation
of nondiscrimination among similarly situated music users that
may be imposed by the consent decree governing its operations.
(8) An individual proprietor may not bring more than one
proceeding provided for in this section for the determination
of a reasonable license rate or fee under any license
agreement with respect to any one performing rights society.
