International record giants are too high-profile MP3 paid download splitting is hard to decide

A series of lawsuits confirmed the commitment made by Vice Premier Wu Yi to the US during his visit to the United States-China agreed to adopt a new copyright policy to prevent the further deterioration of copyrights such as music and movies.
For the US, this is a big gain. A large number of pirated MP3 files are downloaded and used free of charge in China, and the US government has been criticized by companies such as IFPI and Time Warner.
On July 15, April 25, shortly after Wu Yi's visit to the United States, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court ruled that chinamp3.com, the No. 1 free music website in China, provided music downloads, A total of 0.16 million RMB is required for infringement of the copyright of the plaintiff Zhengdong record company and Xinli record company. At the same time, chinamp3.com is still waiting for the result of another infringement case sued by Warner Music, and its attorney general said the odds calculation is also unpredictable.
In May 10, Warner Music sued the famous literary website "Under the Banyan Tree" case was opened in the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate People's Court. As a result, "Under the Banyan Tree" was sentenced to failure and paid 15 thousand yuan to Warner.
RIAA, on behalf of the U. S. Audio and video industry, said China has agreed to expand pirated percussion, increase the liability for infringement, and to amend the law to make Chinese laws more in line with the spirit of international copyright treaties. This positive attitude is conducive to bridging the differences between the two sides.
$5 billion in annual losses?
"We have a good reason to believe that online music downloads not authorized by recording companies have indeed had a huge impact on the traditional recording industry ." In an interview with our reporter, Mr. Robin, secretary-general of the Taiwan office of IFPI, stressed that.
He revealed that the sales volume of genuine CDNs in the Taiwan market reached 1997 in 40 million, with a market value of more than 12 billion RMB. By the end of 2003, this number dropped to 15 million, with a market value of only 5 billion RMB. "Even more than 250 pirated discs are available in Taiwan night market, and now there are less than 50 pirated discs, and the price has also dropped ."
Data shows that last year, the world's total sales volume was $32 billion, down 7.6% from the previous year, equivalent to nearly $3 billion, illegal download of online music is considered to have the greatest impact.
Zheng Lei, CEO of chinamp3.com, the leader of century Yuebo, told reporters: "Record companies are afraid of the Internet, but they are too high ." As the largest free music download service in China, chinamp3.com has a daily click rate of up to more than 80 million times, ranking among 80 of the world's music websites.
Zheng Lei expressed dissatisfaction with the court's decision. He believes that the high profile of recording companies, especially international recording companies, is an important reason for the current situation. The reason for him is that these record companies, especially international record companies, have a high price during the negotiation process and are obviously resisting the situation.
IFPI plays a key role in promoting audiovisual copyright protection.
