The statute, as written — Definitions
As used in this chapter, unless the context clearly requires otherwise: "Performing group" means a vocal or instrumental group of one or more members that intends to advertise or perform under the name of a recording group or a name substantially similar to a recording group. "Recording group" means a vocal or instrumental group of one or more members, at least one of whose members has previously released a commercial sound recording under that group's name and in which the member or members have a legal right by virtue of use or operation under the group name without having abandoned the name or affiliation with the group. "Sound recording" means a work that results from the fixation of a series of musical, spoken, or other sounds, regardless of the nature of the material object, such as a phonograph, disc, take, wire, digital storage, or other medium, in which the sounds are embodied.
