Nebraska Use of Song in Grand Rights First Class, Stock and Amateur Performances In Nebraska, the use of songs in various types of performances is regulated based on the classification of the performance. Use of songs is categorized into First Class, Stock, and Amateur Performances, each defining different types of performances with specific requirements and regulations. First Class Performances: First Class Performances in Nebraska refer to professional or high-profile productions such as Broadway shows, touring musicals, operas, and other large-scale performances. These performances require a special license known as Grand Rights. Grand Rights are needed when copyrighted songs, including lyrics and music, are to be performed live or pre-recorded as a part of such performances. This license is obtained from the copyright holder, usually the music publishing company or author's rights society, granting the right to perform the song publicly. The license covers a specific duration, for example, the length of the production's run. Stock Performances: Stock performances typically entail smaller-scale productions performed by regional or local theater companies. These performances may include a mix of original and licensed songs. While Stock performances do not require Grand Rights, they still need to obtain licenses for copyrighted songs used in their productions. These licenses, commonly referred to as Performance Licenses or Mechanical Licenses, grant the rights for public performance or reproduction of the copyrighted songs. The licenses are obtained from the copyright holders or authorized licensing agencies, allowing the songs to be performed within specific parameters defined by the agreements. Amateur Performances: Amateur performances involve non-professional or community-based productions, such as school plays, community theater shows, or local talent events. These performances may also include the use of copyrighted songs. Similar to Stock performances, obtaining Performance Licenses or Mechanical Licenses for copyrighted songs is necessary for legal usage. The licenses ensure compliance with copyright laws and grant permission to publicly perform the songs during the given production. The regulation of Nebraska's Use of Song in Grand Rights First Class, Stock, and Amateur Performances aims to protect the rights of songwriters, composers, and copyright holders. It ensures that appropriate permissions and licensing agreements are in place when copyrighted songs are used in different types of performances. By obtaining the necessary licenses, producers, theater companies, and performers can responsibly and legally incorporate songs into their productions, adding depth and emotional connections that enhance the overall audience experience.
