@阶 给 给: It is not the first time to break the waves to break the waves

@crystal: Is it difficult to respect the original singing? Intersection

@Nuo Bao Eryang: Although the adaptation is good, it should be communicated with the original author.

@:: Putting on the issue of copyright and respect, this should allow the program team to communicate with Zheng Zhihua. Personally, I used to think that this song was a bit "soil".

Fourth, public opinion review

Recently, "Zheng Zhihua's response to the lyrics of" Star Lights "was changed", which caused strong attention and heated discussion on the Internet. Nearly 70 % of netizens have clearly stated that they should respect the original author's copyright. Some netizens said that there were previously adapted versions, and some netizens believed that there was no problem with adaptation. From the perspective of public opinion attitude, nearly 70 % of netizens believe that they should respect the copyright of the original author. The overall public opinion shows the negative adaptation of variety shows and a positive attitude towards Zheng Zhihua's speech as the original author. It can be seen that, as a whole, everyone's awareness of copyright and the awareness of the protection of copyright has improved. From the perspective of public opinion response and development, as of press time, the relevant variety shows and the copyright owner have not spoken. It is expected that if the relevant Fang Gong develops a response, it may once again attract public opinion attention.

In recent years, in various programs and evenings, it has been appropriately adapted from classic works and has become a common phenomenon. In a variety show, covering songs can not only achieve the power of classic songs to add appeal to the program, but also spread classics to more audiences. However, the premise is to respect the author's copyright.

"Star Light" is a classic inspirational song created in the early 1990s and was sung by countless people. According to relevant laws and regulations, the publishers, performers, recording recorders, radio, television, etc. of the publishers of other people shall not infringe the author's right to signature, modify the right to modify, protect the right to complete the work and get compensation. The right to modify the work belongs to the author's personal rights and can only be exclusive to the copyright owner. In other words, in this incident, the right to modify the work of "Star Electric Lights" is exclusive to the human rights of the work. As the original author, Zheng Zhihua enjoys the power to modify the work. No one or the show may modify the work without its consent and perform a singing behavior for profit.

Therefore, it is hoped that the relevant program groups and other relevant party can make public response and explanation in a timely manner. If there is an act of adapted the work without the consent of the copyright owner, a public apology must be performed, and the copyright fee and corresponding compensation are paid in accordance with laws and regulations. At the same time, it is also hoped that the majority of literary and artistic creators, performers and performing artists will further enhance the awareness of copyright protection, respect originality, and respect copyright, so as to better promote the healthy development of the industry.
