                  THE WEBCASTER SETTLEMENT ACT OF 2008

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Saturday, September 27, 2008

  Mr. BERMAN. Madam Speaker, I would like to make clear that no 
provision of H.R. 7084 should be construed to opine on what entity or 
entities can be considered a ``receiving agent'' under 17 U.S.C. 
Section 114(g)(4). I understand that there is ongoing litigation 
pertaining to the qualifications of a receiving agent and I would not 
want H.R. 7084 to influence a court's ultimate decision on this matter.

                          ____________________
