How to define talent show song copyright
According to my country's current copyright law and relevant implementation regulations, the copyright of musical works such as songs belongs to the creator of the song, and only the copyright owner has the right to perform, modify, play, or permit others to perform, modify, or play his or her creation. song. Most of the songs in the talent show are works that have been published by others and are not original creations by the contestants, so these non-original contestants do not have copyright in the songs
Things that talent show organizers should pay attention to
(1) The program format must not infringe the copyright of other programs
Independent creation Excellent TV programs have long been a weakness of domestic program producers. At present, many domestic TV programs are "imitation" or even "plagiarism" of well-known foreign programs. However, according to some agreements and international treaties signed between our country and other countries, the copyrights of authors from other countries can also be protected by our country's laws. Therefore, if domestic TV programs do not think about innovation and imitate or even completely copy TV programs from other countries without the consent of the relevant copyright holders, it will inevitably constitute infringement.
(2) The use of songs and other works in programs must obtain the permission of the copyright owner
Talent shows usually make profits from sponsors, so their use of other people's songs and other songs does not qualify as "reasonable""Use" category, the permission of the copyright owner is required by law. Although in most cases, domestic copyright collective management organizations will be authorized to exercise copyright, it cannot be taken for granted that all works are necessarily authorized to copyright collective management organizations. For the sake of caution, Talent show organizers should contact the copyright holder of each work directly or discuss copyright licensing issues through the relevant record company before using each other's work.
(3) The name of the author of the entry (including lyrics and songs) should be indicated
When using other people’s works, according to legal provisions, The copyright owner of the work should be indicated, even in the case of "fair use", otherwise it will also constitute copyright infringement.
