    MODULE 3: RELATED RIGHTS


    ________________________________________________________________

    What are related rights?

    Related rights provide protection to the following persons or organizations:

    - performers (actors, musicians, singers, dancers, or generally people


    who perform), in their performances;
    - producers of sound recordings (for example, cassette recordings
    and compact discs) in their recordings; and
    - broadcasting organizations, in their radio and television programs.

    Sometimes, these rights are also referred to as neighboring rights.

    1
    Is there a distinction between related rights and copyright?

    Copyright and related rights protect different people. Copyright protects


    authors of works. For example, in the case of a song, copyright protects the
    composer of the music and the writer of the words.

    In the same example, related rights would apply to :


    - the musicians and the singer who performs the song,
    - the producer of the sound recording (called also phonogram) in which
    the song is included, and
    - the organization that broadcasts a program containing the song.

    2
    What are the rights granted to the beneficiaries of related rights?

    National laws differ as to the extent of righ


    ts which are provided to
    performers, producers of sound recordings or broadcasting organizations.

    Different international treaties address this issue, such as the Rome


    Convention, the TRIPS Agreement, as well as the WIPO Performances and
    Phonograms Treaty (WPPT).

    Performers, in general, enjoy economic rights to prevent fixation,


    broadcasting and communication to the public of their live performances. Some
    national laws as well as the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty
    (WPPT) grant them also rights of reproduction, distribution and rental of their
    perfrormances fixed in phonograms, as well as moral rights to prevent
    unreasonable omission of their name, or to object to modifications to their
    performances included in a sound recording, if such modifications are likely to
    harm their reputation.

    Producers of sound recordings (also called phonograms) enjoy mainly the


    right to authorize or prohibit the reproduction and distribution of their sound
    recordings by others.

    Furthermore, the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT)


    ensures that producers of phonograms, as well as performers of works
    contained therein, are adequately and effectively protected when the sound
    recordings are disseminated through new technology and communications
    systems, such as the Internet.

    Broadcasting organizations are provided the rights to authorize or prohibit


    re-broadcasting, fixation and reproduction of their broadcasts.

    Related rights are subject to the same exceptions as for copyright, which
    would allow anyone to make free use of the performances, sound recordings or
    broadcasts for certain specific purposes, such as quotations, and news reporting.

    3
    Why protect related rights?

    Performers are protected by reason of their creative contribution.


    Producers of sound recordings deserve protection because of the creative input
    as well as technical and financial resources needed to bring the recording to the
    public. Likewise broadcasting organizations have a justified interest in protecting
    their technical and organizational skill in programs from acts of piracy.
