The specific rights granted under copyright law to the copyright owner, or his licensee, with respect to sound recordings (not to include audiovisual recordings or motion pictures). These rights include:

1) Reproduction rights,
2) Distribution rights, and
3) Derivative work rights.

Reproduction rights and distribution rights combined are called "publishing rights." However, by law, these rights are divisible.

Derivative work rights are limited to derivative works of the actual sounds that are fixed in the sound recording. This means that the copyright owner in a sound recording has the right to remix, rearrange, or alter in sequence or quality the sounds already recorded. This right does not disallow the production, by another party, of a sound-alike recording that is an independent fixation of other sounds. See: SOUND-ALIKE RECORDING, RIGHT, CONTRACT-RECORDING CONTRACT clauses #17, #18, COPYRIGHT LAW under "First Recording Right," "Distribution Right," "Reproduction Right," "Sound Recordings," "Exclusive Rights," "Compulsory License," and "Limitations to Exclusive Rights."
