The continuous evolution of the network and equipment to allow the music audience to enjoy the joy of music anytime, anywhere, but while the fans experience music, enjoy the music at the same time, the music network piracy behavior in order to restrict the industrial health and sustainable development of "Achilles heel." According to the data, 90% of the record companies, music platforms and singer artists are directly harmed by piracy, and many pirated music platforms only pursue the interests of "fast", but ignore the copyright practices, resulting in the music copyright issue has become China's music industry in the development of the problem.

Domestic network use environment has matured, but the copyright education has not kept up, many people do not know that they use pirated music platform, also do not know that they actually hurt the idol and even more original music people's interests. For many music industry practitioners, the healthy network music market and the standardization of copyright construction, is to ensure life and even survival of the necessary conditions.
