Chapter 577 (1/2)

”Do you care? If MJ owns the copyright of our songs. ”

After deciding to continue to suspend school for a quarter, Maria Kelly was naturally very happy. They had more time to stay together. In New York in the morning, Sonya put her arms around her and murmured, ”I'm ok. Only half of the copyright belongs to Sony Music Copyright company. Your songs are all there.”

”It doesn't matter. Anyway, that part of the copyright is either a's or B's. they sell it around...”

Maria Kelly gets up and walks into the bathroom. ”Do you want to get in the way?”

”Maybe we can pressure Sony to keep our part of the copyright out of the deal.”

Song Ya is still a little bit resistant to his own songs being owned by MJ, especially after the collapse of the conversation with Elizabeth Taylor. The copyright of music works can be roughly divided into three parts. One is the copyright of Ci and Qu works, that is, the copyright belongs to the creators themselves. For example, the copyright of song Ya's Ci and Qu works belongs to himself, which is not within the scope of half of the copyright with the distribution company.

Second, the copyright of the recording works belongs to the music company that makes and distributes the record. In the industry, the production company and the distribution company share half of the copyright, and the management right of the track belongs to the distribution company. Song Ya's songs belong to this situation. His a + records and Sony Columbia Records each account for 50% of all records. Sony Columbia Records then transfers the copyright of all other songs except the local ones to Sony Music Copyright company, and the management right is also in Sony Music Copyright company.

Third, the right of public performance of the recorded works belongs to the singer who sings the song. However, in specific practice, weak singers often give up this right to the production company. Therefore, it often happens that multinational music companies give the original music to another local singer in different countries to perform again. However, song Ya and Maria Kelly are not in this case. They both have the right to perform their own songs in public. If other singers want to cover, they must obtain their consent. Private covers of non-profit nature are not included in this case. However, covers strictly violate ”BBS?”

”Yes, BBS is the kind of forum.” Song Ya said.

”I'll ask. Call in Miss Yan.”

Daley asked her secretary to call in a Chinese woman in her twenties. She had long black hair and no makeup. Her blue shirt was the cheapest style. It was very simple but surprisingly beautiful. Her big eyes flashed and her eyebrows were quite heroic. She felt very comfortable.

”Miss Yan, Hong Yan? Yan Hong, a PhD student from State University of New York... ” Dilly.

”Hello, may I call you Yanhong? What is the word? Swallow's swallow? ”
