Definition of Convention Relating to the Distribution of Program-Carrying Signals
The Convention Relating to the Distribution of Program-Carrying Signals is a treaty that was established in 1974 to regulate the broadcasting and cable retransmission of signals transmitted by satellite. It is also known as the Brussels Satellite Convention.
The Convention standardizes the regulation of the signal, rather than the content being transmitted. This means that even if the content being transmitted is not protected by any intellectual-property right, the signal itself is still protected.
For example, if a satellite is transmitting a live sports event, the signal being transmitted is protected by the Convention, even if the event itself is not protected by any intellectual-property right.
The United States ratified the Brussels Satellite Convention in 1984, which means that it is legally binding in the US.
