a. Radio broadcasts
- International Convention of Rome
- Artists have exclusive right to authorize broadcast of their work
- BUT they cannot prevent such broadcast – educational and moral value is of
public interest
- Right to demand their names be mentioned when the works are broadcast, to
oppose modification, to receive equitable remuneration
b. Interpretation of a literary or musical work by an artist
- Modern jurisprudence says yes, entitled to protection like the author
c. Production by employee
- If produced by an employee employed for that purpose – belongs to the
employer
- However, not all works of employees done in the workplace are properties of the
employer
- Example: professor/author – his purpose is to teach, the book/research paper is
a product of his own will

- If a photographer is employed by someone and he takes the photos by virtue of
his employment – belongs to the employer
- If a photographer takes a photo for his own benefit – the subject of the photo
does not own the pictures

and the right to use the same belongs to the client physically
