Yuan Zelang suddenly remembered the prompt of Kugou Music that he had seen when uploading songs before: Every time a user listens to a complete song, Kugou Concert pays a copyright fee of 0.25 points to the copyright owner, that is, the copyright owner can get 2.5 yuan for every thousand times the user tries the song. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cost of 2.5 yuan for 1,000 auditions seems a bit low, but don't forget that the users of Kugou Music are measured in hundreds of millions. Moreover, many people hear their favorite songs not just once, but listen to the single song repeatedly, and this is also counted in the number of auditions.

In addition, this world has a good protection of personal copyright, and once a pirated website appears, it will be a strong blow. Therefore, fans can only listen to songs through formal channels, so it is not a problem for a song to successfully achieve hundreds of millions of auditions. And once hundreds of millions of auditions are realized, then the copyright owner can get 25,000 yuan in income.

Therefore, it is common for some top singers to earn more than one million in Kugou Music every month.

Yuan Zelang didn't think that his luck would be so good, and he would be recommended by the cover of Kugou Music's homepage, and he was so sleepy when he uploaded the song, he didn't improve his information, and he didn't leave his contact information.

Thinking of this, Yuan Zelang immediately clicked on his personal center and improved his information, because he knew that if he wanted to get benefits, he first had to sign a relevant contract with Kugou Music. Originally, the contract was something like the singer company sent someone to Kugou to discuss, but a newcomer like Yuan Zelang who is in a personal hobby or wants to try his own level, under normal circumstances, Kugou Music takes the initiative to contact them after feeling that the song has a certain potential.

Although he may not have much money, no matter how small the grasshopper is, it is still meat, so he will not be stupid enough not to want this money.

After perfecting his profile, Yuan Zelang suddenly remembered a problem, that is, he remembered that his copyright did not seem to have been registered.

Although in China, according to the copyright law, the work is automatically copyrighted when it is completed. But that's just copyright, it doesn't mean that the copyright is yours, and if you want to really own the copyright of the work, you have to register the copyright first.

"The copyright thing must not be sloppy, and you must register it quickly, otherwise it will be a big joke if it is preemptively registered." Yuan Zelang spoke softly, then exited Kugou Music and opened the browser, ready to find a website that can register the copyright to register the copyright of "Seventeen-year-old Rainy Season".

In the previous life, many people knew that they were the authors of a certain literary work and song, but the copyright was preemptively registered by others, and in the end, they not only couldn't use the work, but also became a plagiarist, but there have been many things like this, Yuan Zelang didn't want this to happen to him.

There are many ways to protect your musical work from others.

The first way is to send a copy of the manuscript by express mail or fax to yourself or your relatives and friends, and do not open the package after receiving the mail. This method is relatively primitive, but very practical, both economical and convenient, China's law clearly stipulates that express mail and fax can be used as legal evidence. When someone plagiarizes or steals your work, you can take it and mail it to court as proof. However, the mail cannot be opened, otherwise it will lose its time effect.

The second way is to register copyright with local copyright offices, which is relatively troublesome, but more convincing in a legal sense.

The third method is to register directly with the China Music Copyright Association, which is more troublesome and more demanding than the above two. The conditions of this association for the registration of your work must be that your work has been published in the media at or above the provincial level, and that they can receive a share of the benefits generated by your work in terms of commercial use.

Of course, Yuan Zelang did not choose the above methods, he chose the fourth most popular method now - directly register online.

It's simple, practical, economical and time-consuming. Applicants only need to provide the stave or notation of the original musical work, the description of the work, and the applicant's identity document, and the application can be successfully accepted within one day at the earliest.

first registered an account, completed his personal information, and then entered "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season" according to the prompts.

But as soon as the name was lost, Yuan Zelang was dumbfounded?

Why? Because as soon as the name was entered, Yuan Zelang saw a prompt: [This song has already been registered, let's think of a name!] 】

"Holy! No way? Yuan Zelang felt that he was going to be stupid? Is it really what you want to do, how can someone start so quickly?

"Impossible? It can't be that there is a song with the same name in this world, right? Yuan Zelang frowned, then returned to the home page, clicked on the customer service interface to ask customer service for help, and wanted to see the relevant information of "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season".

"Hello and welcome. How can I help you? ”

"Hello, I am your special line customer service, if you have any questions, you can consult me directly, this music copyright registration center is personally checked by the National Copyright Administration, which ensures that your handling matters are 100% passed and also has the strongest legal benefits!"

As soon as Yuan Zelang opened the customer service interface, two messages immediately popped up.

"Hello, I would like to check the information about the copyright of "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season". Yuan Zelang asked his question directly.

"Hello, please wait, I'm looking up the copyright information of "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season" for you."

"Hello, here's the information you can see about "Seventeen's Rainy Season".

Soon, the customer service sent him the copyright information related to "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season" that Yuan Zelang had permission to know.

Yuan Zelang looked at the message sent by the customer service, and was stunned for a long time without reacting, because it was clearly written that the copyright owner of "Seventeen-year-old Rainy Season" was Yuan Zelang.

"It's... What is the rice situation, this is, isn't Yuan Zelang me? ”

"But I went to sleep after recording and uploading the song, and I didn't register?"

"Same name and surname? I also wrote the same song, impossible! ”

"Or is it that who is so sad and crazy, the song registration is not enough, and they robbed my name?"

For a while, a series of question marks popped up on Yuan Zelang's head, and he felt that this matter was a little too unbelievable.

"Registration time, one fifty o'clock?"

"! Haunted, what is this? At that time, I hadn't even uploaded the song to Kugou! ”

Yuan Zelang's eyes widened, looking at the registration time of "Seventeen-year-old Rainy Season" on the computer at 13:50 on August 8!

A sudden chill ran down his spine, and he felt that this was a paranormal event.

"Damn! Forget about the big star system, could it be that it got it? ”

Yuan Zelang thought of this possibility, and he could only think of this possibility, otherwise this matter would really become a supernatural event.

As he spoke, he hurriedly put his index and middle fingers on his temples and communicated with the big star system: "System, come out, I want to ask, is "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season" registered by you?" ”

"Yes." In my mind, the cold voice of the system that couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman came.

"I'll go, how did you do that? Can you say hello to me? I was scared to death, I thought I had met a ghost! Yuan Zelang opened his mouth wide, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his other hand, and spoke.

"I don't understand it when I explain it to you, anyway, you just need to know that this is a system benefit, and your song will be registered directly once it is completed." The voice still didn't have any emotional color, but the first sentence obviously had a hint of mockery of Yuan Zelang.

Yuan Zelang didn't pay attention to the first sentence of the system, and with a surprised expression on his face, he asked, "There are still such benefits?" So I don't have to pay anything for that, do I? ”

"It's all said that it's welfare, of course you don't have to pay for it." The system's voice was still cold, but Yuan Zelang sounded a little weird, because this guy seemed to have a little more indescribable feeling than before-humanization.

Or rather, to be humanized in an effort!
