Abstract The article defines the notion or related (or neighboring) rights. These are rights granted to categories of persons involved in the production and dissemination of musical, audiovisual and other copyrighted works, in particular, performers, producers of sound recordings and broadcasters. It is widely thought that US law contains no such rights because sound recordings have "normal" copyright protection. The Article describes US law and explains why the conclusion that related rights do not exist in US law may be misguided.
