	Legal Information : Performer's Rights
		Performers have an additional right to say whether or not an authorised recording of their performance can be used as a soundtrack for a film (which would include any soundtrack with moving visual images).
		Performers may, however, have the right to control the use of their performances under contractual arrangements between themselves and the person making use of the performance or under the provisions in an industrial award.
		Where a performer agrees to the recording of their performance but makes it known that the performance is confidential and cannot be used or disclosed without the performer's permission, any unauthorised use of that performance may entitle the performer to bring an action for breach of confidence.

	ACCC proposes to re-authorise collective administration of music performing rights by APRA
		APRA has a virtual monopoly in respect of performance rights licences in Australia.
		APRA is constrained, to some extent, in its exercise of its monopoly power by the Australian Copyright Tribunal (Copyright Tribunal) which is empowered to determine the 'reasonableness' of licence terms and conditions.
		However, if a number of competing collection societies each administered performing rights in respect of part of APRA's repertoire, it is not clear that there would be much competition between them, particularly in licensing rights to users who required access to the repertoires of a number of, or most, societies.
