Egypt: Dispute over Public Performance Right
The article discusses the dispute between the artistic unions and the production sector in Egypt regarding the activation of the public performance rights for artists. This right allows artists to receive financial returns when their cinematic and television works are re-shown. While the unions call for the regulation of this right and for independent revenue streams for artists, producers believe that public performance rights are already governed by pre-existing contracts with artists, in which artists waive their public performance rights in exchange for compensation. Legal sources point out that this right has actually been enshrined in law since 2002, and the disagreement centers on the mechanisms for collecting and distributing these royalties. There are warnings that organizing these rights requires a more transparent institutional system in Egypt, without the need to amend the basic intellectual property law.
