Acts of Music Copyright Infringement under Vietnamese Law. Music copyright infringement occurs when an individual or organization uses, copies, distributes, performs, or communicates a musical work without the permission of the copyright owner.
What is Music Copyright Infringement?
Music copyright infringement refers to the act of using, copying, distributing, or exploiting a musical work without the permission of the copyright owner or an authorized party. This is an illegal act that violates copyright laws and can result in civil, administrative, or criminal penalties.
Acts of Music Copyright Infringement under Vietnamese law
Below are some common acts of music copyright infringement under Vietnamese law:
Unauthorized Copying and Distribution of Musical Works
Copying a recording, sheet music, or song lyrics without the consent of the copyright owner or authorized party constitutes copyright infringement. This includes copying CDs, downloading songs from unauthorized sources, or reproducing sheet music without a license.
If you distribute copies of a musical work, whether in physical or digital form, without permission, you are violating copyright. This also applies to sharing music online through file-sharing services or online platforms without the copyright owner’s authorization.
Public Performance of Musical Works without Author’s Permission
Publicly performing a musical work without the author’s permission is a violation of copyright law. Under intellectual property law, the author or copyright owner has the exclusive right to control the public performance of their works. This includes live performances at events, concerts, clubs, restaurants, or through media outlets such as radio, television, and the internet.
If you perform a musical work in public, such as at a concert, public event, or broadcast it on television or radio without the consent of the copyright management organization or the copyright owner, it is also considered a violation.Public performance rights are one of the economic rights granted to the author. This means only the author or an authorized representative has the right to permit or prohibit the public performance of their music. To perform a musical work publicly, the performer or event organizer must obtain permission from the copyright management organization or directly from the copyright owner. This permission typically comes with a royalty fee, which is paid to the author or copyright owner as compensation for the use of their work.
Unauthorized Use of Musical Works in Other Products
Unauthorized use of copyrighted musical works in other products occurs when an individual or organization incorporates copyrighted music into media, advertisements, films, online videos, or any other product without the copyright owner’s permission. This has become a common issue in the digital age, where music is easily copied and integrated into various types of content. If you use a song, music clip, or recording in a film, advertisement, YouTube video, or any other media product without obtaining the copyright owner’s consent, it constitutes copyright infringement.
Unauthorized Downloading and Sharing of Music on the Internet
Unauthorized downloading and sharing of music on the internet is a form of copyright infringement, where individuals or organizations upload or share musical works without the copyright owner’s permission. This is one of the most common forms of copyright violation in the digital era and can lead to serious legal consequences.
Uploading or sharing musical works on social media platforms, cloud storage services, or video-sharing websites without authorization violates copyright laws. For example, posting a song on YouTube, Facebook, or similar platforms without a license can result in the content being removed and the user’s account being suspended.
