Reciprocal Agreements
Territorial constraints
Implications on smaller entities
Government oversight

INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM Do we need an International Clearinghouse?
![Page 22: S ETTING C OPYRIGHT R OYALTIES Nancy M. Livak, J.D. Candidate 2013 University of Connecticut School of Law.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649c905503460f94949932/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATIONS
Performances are not happening in one country or region at a time
Internet broadcasting does not require physical monitoring Can be done with technology
Easier for copyright owners
![Page 23: S ETTING C OPYRIGHT R OYALTIES Nancy M. Livak, J.D. Candidate 2013 University of Connecticut School of Law.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649c905503460f94949932/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WHICH COUNTRY TO USE FOR RATES
Can be difficult to determine
Royalties based on the market it is reaching
Allows for forum shopping
Administrative ease
Country of Listener Country of Broadcaster
![Page 24: S ETTING C OPYRIGHT R OYALTIES Nancy M. Livak, J.D. Candidate 2013 University of Connecticut School of Law.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649c905503460f94949932/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ADJUSTING RATES FOR LOWER DEVELOPMENT COUNTRIES (LDC)
Are less likely to participate if they cannot afford the proposed royalty rate
Might be left out of negotiations since they do not have a large stake
Broadcasters could take advantage by establishing their business in a LDC to avoid higher royalty rates
![Page 25: S ETTING C OPYRIGHT R OYALTIES Nancy M. Livak, J.D. Candidate 2013 University of Connecticut School of Law.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062803/56649c905503460f94949932/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
