ABSTRACT
For many years, these rights were included under the overall heading of ‘mechanical and reproduction rights’. In recent years, technology has been moving so fast that this catch-all heading no longer seems an appropriate definition for the range of rights which can now be exploited. This chapter therefore deals only with audiobook recording rights and video recording rights; forms of reproduction such as microform, photocopying and electronic copying and delivery are covered in Chapter 23, with electronic publishing and multimedia rights covered in Chapter 24.
