The Ministry of culture to the music industry warning network management must have the license

"Engaged in online music business, enterprise, the company must obtain the Ministry of Culture issued the" network cultural business permit ", obtain legal qualification, without this qualification, any unit or individual shall not engage in online music business activities." The Ministry of culture market department deputy director Zu Hai told reporters recently tuo. He was in August this year will be held in Chengdu Dujiangyan "2006 first China Network Music Festival" in an interview with reporters, reiterated the main content of the "Interim Provisions" of the Internet culture management, and issued a warning to the industry.

Network music management to investigate two cases

New ideas about network music and the rapid development of Tuo Zu Hai held a positive and supportive attitude. He said that in the Internet users, especially young people, online music has become a fashion. To promote the transformation of the music recording industry to digital distribution, the use of the Internet, you can improve product awareness, broaden the distribution channels. But Tuo Zu Hai also pointed out that online music management has two problems: one is engaged in the network, including music of various cultural activities, must be issued by the Ministry of culture of the "network cultural business permit", otherwise it is illegal; two is the network music on the Internet when the content of management should be strengthened, especially it is spread through the network of foreign music, the program must be reported to the Ministry of culture of the contents of the review, not through the review is illegal, this website will be punished. It is a very important means to safeguard the cultural sovereignty and cultural security of our country. If you want to be engaged in the management of network music, it is necessary to fulfill the legal procedure, especially the introduction of foreign music on the internet.

"We hope that through standardized management, to protect and promote the development of online music. Some illegal websites are spread without legal music copyright, damage the interests of the copyright owner, because of their large number of illegal dissemination, making some legitimate companies affected, even difficult to survive. Many of the legitimate operators of online music to reflect very strong, requiring the government to intensify efforts to combat illegal operations in this regard, the government departments in charge of this work is to do." Tuo Zuhai said. Not long ago, the Ministry of Culture issued a notice to carry out special operations against illegal business network music, a number of illegal websites have been closed and punishment.

Let technology and content hand in hand

In the "2006 China's first online music festival" to "digital era of network music creative development" as the theme of the forum will also be held at the same time. Tuo Zu Hai said, we are very supportive of the network music festival and the forum, the Ministry of culture is the Department in charge of the original art department, is also the network music, promote the creation and dissemination of culture and art and high-tech development together, to promote the leapfrog development of the industry from two aspects of technology and market, is an important work for us the.

Tuo Zuhai believes that China is now a network of cultural consumption, rather than a producing country, this situation not only restricts the development of network culture industry development, also will in turn restrict technology. So, let technology and content together is the network industry and cultural industry, information industry and content industry development is an inevitable choice.

"Network culture, including the operation of the network music is not open to foreign investment, but there is no limit on domestic capital, which gives us a good development and investment opportunities for private enterprises and domestic investors. Now a lot of private audio and video companies, put a lot of money and energy into the original music and singers, musicians, original music market promotion, this is a very gratifying phenomenon. Through the efforts of the government and the industry, with the technical means, legal means, administrative means, economic means to jointly promote the vigorous development of online music, health." Tuo Zu Hai said at last.
