At present, this phenomenon is really common, and it also exists in QQ music. However, I think this is actually an improvement of copyright awareness in our country. After all, music copyright is also a kind of intellectual property and a musician's labor. So I think this kind of payment is reasonable, but I wonder if some enterprises will make money by charging.
Music is also the result of the efforts of creators and singers. In the past, musicians could make a profit by selling tapes and records. In the Internet age, it is obviously more and more impossible to make profits through traditional methods, so digital rights have become the main means of sales.
Take QQ music as an example. If you are only a WeChat or QQ user, not a member of QQ Music, many music can only be auditioned due to copyright issues. QQ concert reminds you that some VIP music can only be listened for 30 seconds, which makes you feel bad when listening to songs. Therefore, under the premise of meeting the requirements of copyright owners, Tencent QQ Music has thought of various ways to charge.
The first one is a paid music package. The paid music package can download paid music (300 songs/month), and can listen to and download music of SQ and HQ quality (including paid music). The second is the Green Diamond member. In fact, even paid music adds a bunch of fancy privileges that are basically not used, and then charges more.
But many friends don't know the difference between green diamonds and paid music bags. Some friends could have opened a paid music package, but they signed up for the Green Diamond membership. Anyway, most people don't know the difference between the two.
So is it possible to download all the music and sit back and relax after opening the green diamond or paying for music? That's not true. If you want to download music through QQ and import it to other players, you will also be restricted by some music copyrights. When downloading locally, Tencent will remind you that at the request of the copyright owner, such songs are in exclusive format after downloading, and may not be played when copied to other players, so you need to buy a single. ?
This is fatal to consumers like me who use lossless music players, that is to say, after we open the paid music package, we need paid music to import it into third-party players. So I will also find some lossless music websites to download my favorite music. After all, the HIFI playback effect of mobile phones is not enough.
But it also proves that China people's living standards have improved, their consumption awareness has increased, and they are willing to pay for knowledge. I think this is the normal knowledge payment model. It really doesn't matter to us that it is less than 10 yuan per month, which is much better than paying the swindlers who can cook chicken soup all day.
