Only joint efforts can better protect copyrights of online music sector

China's top copyright regulator officially announced stricter rules on Wednesday for the streaming of music, urging online music service providers to remove all unlicensed products by the end of this month. Those who fail to abide by the regulation after the due date will face serious punishments. Comments:

The announcement of the National Copyright Administration has injected confidence and determination into the digital music market, and with the joint efforts of the relevant parties the market will become healthier and more benign. The administrative supervisors need to reinforce their management to guide the online music industry, the judicial organs should strengthen their enforcement, and service providers should be more self-disciplined in abiding by the law.
