Intellectual Property - Copyright - Neighbouring rights

In chapter 5 of the Copyright Act certain rights neighbouring to copyright are defined.

Performing artists are protected by rules according to which a performance of a literary or artistic work may not be recorded in such manner that the performance can be reproduced or made available to the public, unless permission for this recording has been granted by the performing artist. Further, making available to the public by broadcast over radio or television or by direct communication is not allowed unless the performing artist has granted permission for this activity. This right is in force until 50 years has passed from the first public performance.

A right to film a work includes a right to distribute copies to the public through loaning, unless otherwise agreed upon.
