On Thursday, the three-judge Copyright Royalty Board is slated to update its 1997 decision that covered the sales of physical music products such as CDs for the past decade. It will be the board's first decision on digital sales and will set the royalty rates for the next five years, Fortune reported. While the record companies and the association that represents Apple and other online music services are seeking a reduction in the royalty rate (or the elimination of fixed royalty rates altogether), with the digital market continuing to grow, music publishers aren't likely to back down.
