What are the rights available to a performer in his performance in India? What are the civil remedies available to a performer I case of infringement of his performer's right?

In India, performers are granted certain rights under the Copyright Act, 1957, which includes provisions for both copyright and related rights. The rights available to a performer fall under the domain of "related rights" or "neighboring rights." These rights recognize the contribution of performers to the creation and dissemination of creative works. The Copyright (Amendment) Act, 2012 significantly enhanced the protection granted to performers in India by introducing provisions for moral rights and making their economic rights more robust.

### Rights Available to a Performer in His Performance in India

A "performer" under Section 2(qq) of the Copyright Act includes an actor, singer, musician, dancer, acrobat, juggler, conjurer, snake charmer, person delivering a lecture, or any other person who makes a performance. The performance itself is protected under "performer’s rights."

The two main categories of rights available to performers under Indian law are economic rights and moral rights.
