Retransmission

In Section 114 of the U.S. Copyright Act, a retransmission is "a further transmission of an initial transmission, and includes any further retransmission of the same transmission. Except as provided in this section, a transmission qualifies as a “retransmission” only if it is simultaneous with the initial transmission. Nothing in this definition shall be construed to exempt a transmission that fails to satisfy a separate element required to qualify for an exemption under section 114(d)(1)."

17 U.S.C. §114(j)(12).
