Satellite Home Viewer Act of 1988

Summary

Satellite Home Viewer Copyright Act of 1987 - Amends the copyright law to require statutory licensing of secondary transmissions of a primary transmission made by a superstation if such secondary transmission is made by a satellite carrier to the public (or to a distributor to the public) for private viewing for a charge. Prohibits the carrier from altering such transmission or discriminating against a distributor. Requires the satellite carrier to deposit semiannually with the Register of Copyrights both royalty fees and a statement of account. Requires distribution of such fees to copyright owners according to the accounting and specified procedures. Requires the Copyright Royalty Tribunal to conduct a proceeding to determine distribution if a controversy exists. Requires voluntary negotiation of fees or fees set by compulsory arbitration if no voluntary agreement is filed with the Copyright Office. Authorizes judicial review of decisions of the Tribunal concerning the adoption or rejection of the arbitration. Terminates this Act on December 31, 1995.
