( September 25, 2026, 12:00 PM EDT) -- WASHINGTON, D.C. — A partly split District of Columbia Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel vacated the Copyright Royalty Board’s allocation of royalties related to the retransmission of copyrighted sporting events between 2014 and 2017, finding that even though the board evaluated its valuation methods, it never explained how it combined the results to reach the final allocation percentages (Office of the Commissioner of Baseball, et al. v. Librarian of Congress, et al., No. 24-1259, Public Broadcasting Service v. Copyright Royalty Board, et al., No. 24-1260, D.C. Cir., 2026 U.S. App. LEXIS 29071)....
