Music Law refers to legal aspects of the music industry and certain legal aspects in other sectors of the entertainment industry. The music industry includes record labels, music publishers, merchandisers, the live events sector and of course performers and artists. The terms "music law" and "entertainment law", along with "business affairs", are used by the music and entertainment industry and should not be thought of as academic definitions. Indeed, music law covers a range of traditional legal subjects including intellectual property law (copyright law, trademarks, image publicity rights, design rights), competition law, bankruptcy law, contract law, defamation and, for the live events industry, immigration law, health and safety law, and licensing. ==Definitions== *A "compilation" refers to work formed from already existing materials in a way that forms its own original work, including collective works. *"Copies" are physical objects that hold, fix, or embody a work such as a music tape, film, CD, statue, play, or printed sheet music. *"Sound recordings" can refer to any audio recording including the sound accompanying motion pictures. *"Copyright owner" is the entity that legally owns rights to a work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Copyright Law of the United States - U.S. Copyright Office )〕 *"Performance" The copyright holder has the exclusive right to perform the work in public, or to license others to perform it.
