The Amendment Act of 1994 harmonized provisions of the Act with the Rome Convention by providing protection to the rights of performers, producers of phonograms and broadcasting organizations. By the Amendment Act, new provisions were inserted under Sections 2(q), 2(qq), 38, 39 and 39A collectively comprising of the legislative framework pertaining to performers’ rights in India.
