With the prevalence of intellectual property protection awareness, many music software have removed music that they do not own copyright from. Although many users have complained, this is progress in the protection of intellectual property rights in our country. Furthermore, we can find that some music creators do not allow others to sing their songs. Everyone has different opinions on this matter.
In fact, such a thing is understandable.
As an audience, we have actually been exposed to such things. In the past few years, there was a migrant worker group "Xu Ri Yang Gang". The two singers were well-known to the audience for singing Wang Feng's "In Spring", and through the singing of this song, the group even appeared on many programs. Including the Spring Festival Gala, thus gaining popularity and revenue. However, after the Spring Festival Gala, Wang Feng banned the group from performing its works anymore, and Wang Feng received a lot of criticism for this.
Many little singers with average or no fame make money by singing some well-known original songs. But isn’t this kind of thing harmful to the original singer? Original singers work hard to write songs and create seriously. Shouldn't their own mental work and intellectual property rights be respected?
In fact, the main point of this case is that the non-original singer gained popularity and financial benefits through the original singer's works, but he did not sign a copyright contract with the original singer, nor did he pay the copyright usage fee.
So, this kind of thing actually requires specific analysis of specific issues, and we must treat different situations specifically on the basis of fully respecting the intellectual property rights of the original singers.
