the joiner, and shall permit the intervention, of any person having or
claiming an interest in the copyright.

infringement under subsection (c) of section 111, a television broadcast
station holding a copyright or other license to transmit or perform the
same version of that work shall, for purposes of subsection (b) of this
section, be treated as a legal or beneficial owner if such secondary
transmission occurs within the local service area of that television
station.

(d) For any secondary transmission by a cable system that is
actionable as an act of infringement pursuant to section 111(c)(3), the
following shall also have standing to sue: (i) the primary transmitter
whose transmission has been altered by the cable system; and (ii) any
broadcast station within whose local service area the secondary
transmission occurs.
