American Law Practice And Enlightenment Of Streaming Music Copyright Authorization

Streaming music is another form of music transmission that has emerged under network music,and has become the main means of disseminating music.The biggest difference between streaming music and downloading music over the Internet is that consumers no longer need to download the entire song to play music.Consumers tend to play only part of the song.In the past,music playback was counted based on the number of downloads.The method of calculating remuneration has been difficult to apply.The main bodies involved in the streaming music industry mainly include upstream copyright owners,including original copyright owners and subsequent copyright owners,midstream communication platforms,namely streaming music platforms,and downstream music consumers.Copyright owners include creators,authorized companies,and collective management organizations.The emergence of streaming music has reduced the dependence of creators on intermediate platforms,and has also changed the way they rely on them.By relying on record companies such as record companies to promote record changes,In order to rely on the streaming music platform to make use of big data to accurately promote the singles,the calculation of copyright compensation is also in the hands of the streaming music platform,requiring the streaming music platform to make public the song playback data as its main requirement.Streaming music platforms require a large number of music licenses and the pursuit of maximizing license efficiency based on massive licenses.Therefore,reducing negotiation costs and improving license efficiency are both the pursuit of a communication platform and a condition for promoting industrial development.Collective management organizations exercise rights on behalf of music copyright owners,and are the bridge between music copyright owners and streaming music platforms.They should find the balance between the interests of both parties based on the characteristics of streaming music and the direction of technological development.The promulgation of the "Music Modernization Act" in the United States is mainly to resolve the above problems in the process of streaming music authorization.It proposed a new collective management organization to specifically manage the package licensing system under streaming music,reform the calculation and distribution of licensing fees,and establish work information.The query system and other methods are worthy of our in-depth analysis and comprehensive consideration of the disadvantages in the authorization process of localstreaming music in China,and the appropriate measures to introduce the Music Modernization Act as appropriate.
