Abstract
Many artists and performers do not understand their rights embodied in the works which they present. Many perceive it as either too expensive and/or too difficult to understand. Many countries adopt different approaches to this protection, and this only adds to the dilemma. My approach is first to consider the approach taken my country, which is to all intents and purposes the simplest approach. I go on to contrast the approach with that taken by the UK, Canada and the USA. Canada and the USA take a more progressive approach and have developed case law as precedent. I intend to shed a light on this dilemma of Intellectual property in the performing arts (dance) and show how to approach this dilemma across countries.
