the world-wide exclusive

form of signal display,
such as large screens or
video walls, being
irrelevant), covering
both live and deferred
transmission, in whole or
in part, for both private
and public reception; it
is understood that the
exercise of these rights
also allows the live or

on-demand use) of the
live performance of the
song at the Contest Final
via the Internet;
|
- "preview

recordings of all other
songs in the 2001 Contest
Final, into a CD (or
similar carrier), to be
released by the EBU
Permanent Services or an
appinted third party on
behalf of all the
artists; it is understood
that such a (studio
and/or live) compilation
is limited to the
performances of the songs
at the 2001 Contest Final
and shall not prrejudice
any existing or future
