In music, it only takes one stroke of a spade to be plagiarized
In recent years, when online music has exploded, plagiarism has become quite common. But most of the Vpop cases are accused of plagiarizing foreign music. There are even a few MVs of famous singers whose songs have been removed on YouTube due to copyright disputes. As for Vietnamese songs being plagiarized by foreigners, this is the first case discovered. Korea is the country with the most developed music industry in Asia. The story of copyright protection in this country is also considered to be quite strict compared to other countries in the region.
By chance, female musician-singer TiA discovered that Billlie (Korea) group performed the song in the MV “GingaMingaYo” (The strange world) with the same music as the song “Princess on the Princess” composed by her and acting. Her MV was released on January 11, 2021, reaching 130,000 views on YouTube. And Billlie’s MV on the official YouTube channel was accused of plagiarism with more than 23 million views after only 1 month of release.
“Compared to my song, the music video performed by Billlie is only different from the beginning. And the last part (1:40 minutes) is like my music, they’re only down to 1 chord. My MV was released in January 2021, while the MV for a Korean group was released a month ago,” said Tia Hai Chau.
After listening to the piece of music, from the perspective of a composer, who sat as a judge of many music competitions, musician Le Minh Son, General Director of the Online Music Copyright Joint Stock Company (MCM Online). ) said: “In music, just “spoon” 1 stroke, 1 quartet, is already plagiarism. Of the two songs mentioned above, I don’t know which song comes first or later, but I can confirm that the music material, the style… are 90% similar.
The male musician also once said: “Music is not only the brainchild, the gray matter of musicians, but also sweat, tears, blood, experience, and the price to pay. struggling for a lifetime to write a few songs.The song is played in many places but the musician is not getting paid enough is what I have been worrying about for a long time, my biggest wish is music. Vietnamese scholars must make a living by their profession.”
In the field of digital content in general and digital music in particular on a global scale, as well as in Vietnam, the problem of authors not being paid royalties has become a pain. And if not solving the problem of piracy well, it will create great consequences, creative works will be less and less because musicians will no longer be inspired to create when their “child” is lost. arbitrary use.
