The neighbouring rights
Example: The neighbouring rights ensure artists receive royalties from broadcasts.
Definition
"The neighbouring rights" are legal rights that grant performers, producers, and broadcasters compensation when their recorded music is broadcasted or publicly performed. These rights ensure artists receive royalties from the use of their sound recordings beyond the original copyright holder.
Etymology
"The neighbouring rights" derive from the concept of 'neighboring' or 'related' rights that exist alongside traditional copyright. The term emphasizes that these rights are closely connected to, but distinct from, the copyrights held by composers and lyricists, focusing on performers and producers instead.
