Singer-songwriter Wang Feng will participate in the launch episode of an online talk show, Interactive Affairs, produced by LeTV, one of the most popular online video sites in China.
Interactive Affairs will invite celebrities to bring guests and discuss hot social topics. Wang, as one of the invited hosts, will bring his friends to talk about the mainland music industry. According to Wang, the talk show will offer him a new platform to showcase his music and attitude towards the industry.
Article 46 of the draft stipulates that sound recording producers may use a music work from another record product, which has already been published for more than three months, in their own records without having to obtain the consent from the music copyright holder, as long as they report to relevant government authorities and pay fair compensation.
Moreover, the draft provides that if the copyright holder does not state otherwise, the royalty for such use will be collected through copyright collective management organizations.
"The draft is a possible deprivation of songwriters' copyright interests as well as our rights to dispose our own properties," Gao Xiaosong, a famous songwriter, wrote on Sina Weibo, a popular Chinese microblogging site on Wednesday.
Gao also posted online a petition signed by more than 20 popular songwriters and singers, including Xiao Ke, Zhang Chu, Han Geng and Sandee Chan, urging authorities to revise relevant provisions in the draft.
