5.9 Music Performer Society

The musicians' performing face: the performing musicians' body (the singers-and-the instrumentalists (the performers' side distinct from the authors' 5.4 society)): the live-and- recorded performance rights' advocacy (the performers' neighbouring rights); the royalty collection's-and-the welfare's faces; the ecosystem note (the music industry's plural bodies (the authors'-performers'-producers' triangle (the CMO landscape's developing world))). The institutional map's craft (the exam's table): the REGULATORS (the DOI-IP Section (the industrial property) + the Copyright Registrar (the copyright) + the FDB (the film)); the COLLECTIVE societies (the Music Royalty Collection (the authors) + the Performer Societies (the performers) + the Copyright Protection Society (the general advocacy)); the INDUSTRY associations (CAN (the ICT) + the Film Producers' Association (the producers)). Exam Focus Long question: The institutional mechanism's map (the three families — the regulator- registry, the collective societies, the industry associations — the banker). Short questions: the CMO's craft (the licensing-collection-distribution); the copyright registration's nature; the FDB's functions. Trick areas: (i) The DOI's IP Section registers PATENTS/DESIGNS/MARKS; the COPYRIGHT Registrar the works — the two-registry division (the cross-filing error); (ii) The Music Royalty Collection Society = the AUTHORS'/publishers' CMO; the Performer Societies = the PERFORMERS' faces — the distinction; (iii) The copyright registration is EVIDENCE- only (never constitutive); (iv) The CMO's logic = the transaction-costs' cure.
