The right to publicly perform a musical work is called what?

• A. Reproduction rights
• B. Public Performance Rights
• C. Derivative Rights
• D. Distribution Rights

Answer: (B)

Public Performance Rights is the legal term for the right to perform a musical work publicly or authorize others to do so. This covers live concerts, radio and TV broadcasts, and streaming services where the public can listen. The rights are typically owned by the songwriter or publisher and licensed to venues, broadcasters, and platforms, with royalties collected by performance rights organizations. This differs from reproduction rights (making copies), derivative rights (creating new works based on the original), and distribution rights (selling or distributing copies).
