What are potential legal issues with playing live recordings of some street artists without permission? 
I'm a fan of street art and I recently discovered some amazing performances on YouTube. I'd like to share these recordings with my friends, but I'm concerned about the legal implications. Are there any copyright laws or other regulations that could get me in trouble if I play these recordings without permission?

Yes, playing live recordings of some street artists without their permission could potential legal issues. Street artists may have signed recording contracts or assigned these rights to a production company. This allows them to control how their music is distributed and make sure they get the appropriate compensation for its use. Additionally, copyright infringement can result in financial penalties and legal liability, so it’s important to respect the artist's work and take responsibility when it comes to intellectual property rights.

Playing live recordings of street artists without permission could potentially violate copyright laws, as street artists are typically protected under the Copyright Act and can claim a copyright for their performances. It could also conflict with rights managed by performing rights organizations (PROs) such as the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and BMI which license the public performance of music. Moreover, playing these recordings without consent from the artist may violate other rights granted to them under US law including their right of publicity or privacy. Without proper authorization it is best to avoid playing these live recordings to ensure legal compliance.
