		A performance rights organisation exists to collect and distribute royalties on behalf of audio and video artists, for performances of their copyrighted works under copyright law.
		A PRO works by first signing up artists to become members, and then bargaining with the users of the artists' copyrights (directly or through the users' representatives) the royalty rate to be paid for such use.
		They have also been criticised for charging non-profit organisations for their use of the music, despite the fact it is not for any commercial or money-earning purpose.

	Performance rights organisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Without a PRO, it would be necessary for each artist to contract with each user individually, which is practically impossible.
		PROs have also been accused of being "cartels".
		They have also been criticised for charging non-profit organisations for their use of copyrighted music in situations where the non-profit organization was not earning money from the use.

	Questioning IMRO - National Arts and Media - Indymedia Ireland
		When you clear away all the legal jargon, and it’s difficult enough to clear away, the primary function of performing or performance rights, developed from copyright theory, is that they act as a justification for prescriptive control, making it legitimate for one person to prescribe the actions of another unless a fee is paid.
		Copyright is mentioned, and performing rights sort of have something to do with copyright, and something to do with “making a work available to the public”, but nowhere is this made clear, in legislation or in the relevant literature.
		Yet, the rhetoric of copyright and performing rights continues to guarantee financial turnover in the music industry, and the end, as ever, seems to justify the means.

		The Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (the Declaration) was adopted, by consensus, by the General Assembly in resolution 53/144 on 9 December 1998.
		Concerning the impact of militarism on protection and promotion of human rights, the SRep noted that in areas of conflict or political tension, emergency or special laws are imposed, suspending fundamental freedoms and restricting recourse to civilian courts; at the same time, the military and paramilitary forces commit human rights violations, often with impunity.
		The General Assembly adopted by consensus a resolution (A/RES/56/163) on Declaration on the Right and Responsibility of Individuals, Groups and Organs of Society to Promote and Protect Universally Recognized Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (the Declaration) in which it reiterated the importance of the Declaration and its promotion and implementation.

		Because issues of rights and responsibilities are common in schools (for example the right to use equipment, and the responsibility not to damage it) this activity can be the basis for using the language of rights and responsibility in everyday situations.
		For example, your right to freedom of speech is limited by your responsibility not to say untrue things which will degrade another person and abuse their right to dignity and good reputation.
		Examples of negative rights are the right not to be killed or badly treated or to have your possessions stolen.

		One right under the Act is the author's control of the reproduction of their copyright material, such as playing a recording or staging a live public performance of a song.
		Their license fees are controlled by Copyright Board approved tariffs and cover all music performance usages and distribute these monies back to the authors of the music through a complex non-profit system that ultimately issues royalty cheques to song writers.
		Some may not have been approached by a performance rights organisation because their establishment has not yet come to the attention of the copyright watchdogs.

		I have made human rights education one of my highest priorities, not only in the context of fulfilling my mandate to coordinate the implementation of the Plan of Action, but also because I firmly believe in the fundamental role of human rights education in empowering individuals to defend their rights and those of others.
		This year, the question of human rights education is of particular importance since the international community is commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and promoting awareness of the significance of this document and of the legal instruments and action it has developed.
		In effect, everyone has the right to live and work in environments where known health risks are controlled, and as health is the full enjoyment of other human rights, so is enjoyment of all other human rights necessary for the realization of the highest attainable standard of health.

		While Copyright is the most common right you will come across, there are also many other different types of rights as well.
		Together, performance and mechanical rights ensure that the copyright owner(s) and publisher(s) are able to control when recordings, public performances, and broadcasts can take place or be duplicated.
		Obviously it will be very difficult to find out every time that performing rights are breached (in the same way that it can be difficult to discover Copyright theft, unless it is on a commercial scale).

		Individually citizens have nothing to support their complaints because that is how the system is organised and operates, institutionalised denials of rights by the promoters of crime, those who thrive along with it, as they determine.
