The law focuses on clearly defining the use of live performances or phonograms in event organization, monitoring compliance with existing legislation regarding the use of phonograms and authors’ works, and supporting artists who contribute to enhancing the prestige of national art and culture.

Additionally, it introduces regulations regarding the disclosure of information on the degree of phonogram use, stipulates that performers and authors must be clearly listed in the concert programs, and requires that the information about phonogram use in concert advertisements occupy at least ten percent of the overall advertising space.

The adoption of this law aims to improve the effectiveness of organizing concerts and performances, foster the development of live performance art, support talented performers, and introduce new mechanisms to encourage live performances.
