Just what constitutes an "agreement to the contrary" is a hotly contested issue, as licensees try various gambits to thwart efforts by authors and their heirs to re-capture valuable rights. Are such termination-and-re-grant schemes prohibited "agreements to the contrary"?

Internet Radio Royalty Reminders - April 30 is the Last Date to Elect Small Webcaster Agreement and for Broadcasters to Pay Past Fees, and Don't Forget the Recordkeeping Obligations
