Section 192A

the rights conferred on a performer by - section 182 (consent required for recording, &c. of live performance), section 183 (infringement of performer’s rights by use of recording made without consent), ... section 184 (infringement of performer’s rights importing, possessing or dealing with illicit recording), section 191HA (assignment of performer’s property rights in a sound recording), and section 191HB (payment in consideration of assignment), are not assignable or transmissible, except to the following extent. They are referred to in this Chapter as “ . . . performer’s non-property rights”. On the death of a person entitled to any such right— the right passes to such person as he may by testamentary disposition specifically direct, and if or to the extent that there is no such direction, the right is exercisable by his personal representatives. References in this Chapter to the performer, in the context of the person having any such right, shall be construed as references to the person for the time being entitled to exercise those rights. Where by virtue of subsection (2)(a) a right becomes exercisable by more than one person, it is exercisable by each of them independently of the other or others. Any damages recovered by personal representatives by virtue of this section in respect of an infringement after a person’s death shall devolve as part of his estate as if the right of action had subsisted and been vested in him immediately before his death.
