Meanwhile, Yan also suggested that Chinese songwriters, composers and singers should defend their rights by asking for payment from online music websites. All in all, whether music workers get payment or not was an essential standard for evaluating the copyright protection issue in China.

Compared with the big challenge in the music circle, the video clean-up activity has made enormous strides.

According to Yan, the proportion of authorized videos online has been high in the last decade.

"On the one hand, the administration has launched a nationwide crackdown on video material infringement by punishing acts violating laws and regulations in the field. On the other, many online video providers have gained momentum in business by acting according to the law," Yan added.

"At present, China is still a beginner in the intellectual property rights (IPR) field. Many problems and controversies will arise in the field in the future, online contents' copyright protection work is no exception," Yan summarized.
