Who owns the copyright of the crowdfunding MV

The copyright of cinematic works and works created using methods similar to filmmaking shall be enjoyed by the producers.

"Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China" Article 15 The copyright of film works and works created using methods similar to filmmaking shall be enjoyed by the producers.

According to the "Copyright Law", film works belong to the category of artistic "works", and producers enjoy complete copyright over them, including all works based on the production of film works. Personal rights such as the right to publish, authorize, modify, and protect the integrity of the work, which are enjoyed by law, also include property rights such as reproduction rights, distribution rights, rental rights, screening rights, and adaptation rights arising from the use of film works.

In order to understand the rights of producers to film works The integrity of copyright should extend to the producer’s right to film worksDistinguish between the rights enjoyed by producers of audio and video recordings and the rights enjoyed by producers of audio and video recordings. Audio and video products are a copy of other people's works and do not have originality. For example, television films and videos produced by copying other people's reports, lectures, etc. are not considered "works" under the Copyright Law. The rights enjoyed by producers of audio and video products are neighboring rights, a right subordinate to copyright, and an incomplete right. The acquisition of this right requires the permission of the copyright holder of the corresponding work, for example, audio and video recordings Producers who want to make audio and video recordings of other people's speeches for distribution must obtain the speaker's permission. Producers of audio and video recordings only have the property right to permit others to copy, distribute, rent, disseminate to the public through information networks and obtain remuneration for the audio and video recordings they produce.

The above content is the relevant answer. Usually, If we crowdfund a MV, then the copyright should be owned by the producer. When we apply for copyright registration in the country, we should apply in the name of the producer. The copyright protection period is very long.
