esitusõiguste

Esitusõigused, often translated as performance rights, are a type of intellectual property right that protect the performers of a work, such as actors, musicians, and singers. These rights are distinct from copyright, which protects the underlying work itself, like a song or a play. Esitusõigused grant performers exclusive control over how their performances are used. This includes the right to authorize or prohibit the broadcasting, reproduction, and public performance of their recordings. In many jurisdictions, these rights are recognized under national copyright laws or specific neighboring rights legislation. The duration of esitusõigused varies by country, typically lasting for a set number of years after the performance or the recording is made. These rights are crucial for ensuring that performers are compensated for the use of their creative contributions and can prevent unauthorized exploitation of their talents.
