Musicians' rights refer to the legal protections that allow artists to control how their music is used and distributed. These rights include copyright, which grants musicians exclusive ownership over their original works, and performance rights, which ensure they are compensated when their music is played in public or broadcasted. Additionally, musicians have moral rights, which protect their personal connection to their work, such as the right to attribution and the right to object to derogatory treatment of their music. Organizations like ASCAP and BMI help musicians manage and enforce these rights, ensuring they receive fair compensation for their creative efforts.
