On April 4th, the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued long-awaited orders setting a briefing schedule for the consolidated appeals from the 1998-2002 CARP proceeding in the Copyright Office, setting royalty rates for webcasting. The Court will accept two briefs from copyright users - one from those who participated in the CARP and one from those who were unable to participate but are challenging the outcome and the process. CIS is representing multiple webcasters in the appeal. Joint briefs of the various petitioners are due June 20. It appears that the case will not be argued until at least Thanksgiving, 2003.
