List of parties to international treaties protecting rights related to copyright

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of countries which have signed and ratified one or more international treaties protecting rights related to copyright. Related rights protect performers, producers of sound recordings (phonograms) and broadcasting organisations. In some countries these rights are known simply as copyright, while other countries distinguish them from authors' rights: in either case, their international protection is distinct from the protection of literary and artistic works under the Berne Convention and other treaties.
