"What you can do with sound recordings without breaking the law"

Illustration for Copyright Act 1994

You can do certain things without breaking a performer's property rights. This is because of some rules in the Copyright Act 1994. These rules apply to sound recordings. You can look at sections 53, 55, 56, 56A, 57, 58, 79, 82, 83, and 90 to see what you can do. When you read these sections, replace some words with new ones. Replace "infringing copyright" with "infringing the rights" in relation to a sound recording. Replace "work" with "sound recording". Replace "published edition" with "sound recording" in some sections. Replace "item" with "sound recording" in section 55. Replace "copyright owner" with "the person entitled to exercise the rights" in some sections. These changes help you understand what you can do with sound recordings.
