maybe i am missing something, but the bigger problem i see is there is no nature limiting point on who counts as a performer or what is a performance. recording a street performance, a celebrity acting like a jerk in public, or really of anybody anytime could be subject to these rights. you would be recording a fixation of an unfixed performance without permission and posting to youtube would be a broadcast. all of the public space turns into a guns n roses concert.
