The soundtrack of "Da Gong Ming Ci" was confirmed to be infringing.
Yesterday afternoon, the head of the Legal Department of music copyright society of china clearly told Changjiang Daily that according to the current situation, the behavior of the cast of Da Gong Ming Ci constituted infringement.
Ma Jichao, director of the Legal Department, explained that all members of music copyright society of china signed an agreement with the Music Association when they joined the club, and the Music Association can directly authorize people who want to use their works. Therefore, to judge whether it is legal to use other people's music, we only need to see whether we have been authorized by the original author or the Music Association before using it. However, there was a "funeral" in Da Ci, and Gong Heyin's Writers Association didn't know about it before its broadcast, so it can be seen that the cast of Da Ci was not authorized by any party.
At present, the Ministry of Justice is asking Gong to provide a written material with his signature, and will then verify the matter with the cast of Da Gong Ming Ci. Director Ma said that whether it is called "supplementary licensing fee" or "compensation after infringement", the Music Association will ask the crew to pay Gong, and the amount of compensation has yet to be determined.
