Microsoft Yahoo because music copyright will sit on the dock

Microsoft, Yahoo and RealNetworks company is going to sit on the dock, because the music copyright issues, the plaintiff is a single-chip music, almost managers 45000 music copyright, sued Microsoft, Yahoo and RealNetworks company said: "in order to transmit, perform, reproduce, and provide any sound recording of a musical work, whether they are transmitted or downloaded, the accused must not only be to get the sound recording itself, you also need to have basic composition reflects the rights (which is the music track). ”

This MCU music providers seek compensation for "loss and profits" or "$ song" (single-chip Music Association lists 90 page song directory).

This action got many concerns, many media that this "will cause a mess", single-chip music business is likely to win, because Microsoft, Yahoo and RealNetworks company without too much effort to spend time in the music of copyright. But so far, Yahoo, Microsoft and RealNetworks company spokesman had no comment on this.

This time Microsoft Yahoo become the defendant does not pay attention to music copyright are the fundamental factors, there are other Internet companies are also facing the situation. In 2005, Baidu, whale music network, Yahoo search, our company has successively been record company sued, especially in 2007, sprawing copyright lawsuit makes Internet company bruised and battered.

But then in order to address copyright issues, set the "Baidu Baidu digital music Alliance", launched the "copyright audition + income into" business model, combined with the King 's, huayi, Ocean butterflies, rolling stones, EMI, record companies, combining related record company copyright works for advertisers for ad serving, ad revenue and record companies directly into. Then Google, whale music NET and record companies jointly launched by genuine music services like this into mode.

Music copyright issues are also plagued Internet enterprises, the digital music market of copyright is not clear, which makes a lot of music record companies in the network is free to use, directly led to record sales decline, the number of Internet companies because it is difficult to obtain lawful authority or because of high royalties in a dilemma. I think the single chip music providers should fully exploit the potential of good cooperation and, to achieve win-win effect, so that we can really achieve a virtuous circle of the music market.
