2. Introduction Copyright is just the legal means for authors to protect their work. In these copyrights, there is a simple set of laws for performing and broadcasting for the author’s works.

3. Broadcast Reproduction Right • In order to present a specific work to be heard or seen by the public, a specific payment must be paid to the actual author. • The law allows only the owner the right to re-broadcast the already Broadcasted work. • The author had the authority over any sound recordings or visual recordings of his broadcasted work. • He/she also has the ultimate power to make any reproduction of such sound recording or visual recording.

4. Performers Rights • The performer will have a total grip over the sound recording or a visual recording of his performance. • The performer has the Right to Reproduce and store the so-called recordings of the performance. • The performer has the right to issue as many copies of the said recording he wishes to the public. • The performer has the Right to Sell or give it out for commercial rental. • The performer has the Right to Broadcast or communicates the performance to the public.

5. Conclusion Some feel that Broadcasting and Performer rights are the same. To broadcast the work you don’t need a performer’s consent but to telecast the performer’s performance then you need the consent of the performer.
