Explain the right of performance

What will be an ideal response?

Copyright owners have a pecuniary right of performance. There are basically two approaches to the granting of this right. One, set out in the British, French, and U.S. laws, among others, is to grant a general right of performance (droit de représentation). The French law, which was extensively amended in 1985, provides a good example of this method. The right of performance is the right "to communicate the work to the public by any means whatsoever, including public recitation, lyrical performance, public presentation, public projection, and telecommunication."
