393. Right to be identified — how should a performer be identified
Feedback & supportWhere a performer must be identified under this Division, he or she must be identified in accordance with this section.
The performer must be identified —
in the way that the performer wishes to be identified (for example, by the performer’s true name or by a stage name or pseudonym), but only if —

it is reasonable in the circumstances to identify the performer in that way; and
in any other case, by any reasonable form of identification.
Where a protected performance is given by performers who use a group name, those performers are sufficiently identified by using the group name.
