The document discusses the United States Copyright Office's study on extending federal copyright protection to pre-1972 sound recordings, as mandated by Congress in 2009. It outlines the current legal landscape, stakeholder input, and key recommendations for federalizing protection, including ownership issues, terms of protection, and registration processes.
