Convention Relating to the Distribution of Program-Carrying Signals

Read a random definition: capitalis baro

A quick definition of Convention Relating to the Distribution of Program-Carrying Signals:

Convention Relating to the Distribution of Program-Carrying Signals: This is a treaty that was made in 1974 to make rules about how TV and radio signals are sent using satellites. It helps to make sure that everyone follows the same rules when they send signals through satellites. Even if the TV or radio show is not protected by any special rights, the signal itself is still protected by this treaty. The United States agreed to follow this treaty in 1984.

A more thorough explanation:

The Convention Relating to the Distribution of Program-Carrying Signals is a treaty that was established in 1974 to regulate the broadcasting and cable retransmission of signals transmitted by satellite. It is also known as the Brussels Satellite Convention.

The Convention standardizes the regulation of the signal, rather than the content being transmitted. This means that even if the content being transmitted is not protected by any intellectual-property right, the signal itself is still protected.

For example, if a satellite is transmitting a live sports event, the signal being transmitted is protected by the Convention, even if the event itself is not protected by any intellectual-property right.

The United States ratified the Brussels Satellite Convention in 1984, which means that it is legally binding in the US.
