Currently, audio performers are protected under international law by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT 1996). However, audiovisual performers, such as movie and television performers, are entirely unprotected under international law. The WIPO Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances corrects this oversight. When 30 countries ratify the treaty and it enters into force, U.S. audiovisual performers will gain equal international rights with U.S. audio performers, including important economic and moral rights such as compensation rights under the laws of other countries and enhanced rights to protect against the unauthorized use of performers’ image and likeness. Labor and the U.S. audiovisual industry management are united in support of this treaty. We call on the Senate to ratify the Beijing Treaty promptly so audiovisual performers will have equal protection under international law.
