Chinese music declined because it didn't buy copyright. I think this sentence is correct. Because it is disrespectful for musicians not to buy copyright, many musicians spend a lot of energy and time creating. Some singers casually take these musicians' works for commercial singing without paying copyright fees to the creators, who are also very difficult to defend their rights. Over time, there will be fewer and fewer original authors, and gradually there will be no original singers in the whole Chinese music scene. All of them will copy me and I will copy you, which will of course decline slowly.

Reasons for the decline of Chinese music

There is a saying that the main reason for the decline of Chinese music is the development of Internet music. A few years ago, all Internet music platforms had no copyright. Many platforms, such as QQ Music and Qianqian Listening, provide free listening and downloading on the Internet. These platforms get traffic, but they don't pay copyright fees to musicians.

If these musicians can't make money, they won't continue to create. Slowly, there is no fresh blood and no good works in the whole Chinese music scene. In recent years, the whole music circle has gradually attached importance to copyright, and many musicians know how to defend their rights. Now all major music platforms have copyrights. But there's nothing I can do about it.

The status quo of Chinese music

The income of musicians in Chinese music nowadays is very low, and they can't compare with those film and television actors at all. These musicians can't sell songs, unlike they used to sell albums and films. Only the songs of those traffic stars can be sold, and most people's songs are free to listen. And China people don't have the habit of spending money to listen to songs online. Because they all developed habits in the era of free internet.

Musicians themselves don't attach importance to copyright

Another point is that musicians in the whole Chinese market don't attach importance to copyright. For them, what programs they go to sing, they sing, but they don't know how to pay the copyright fee. They have no awareness of copyright at all. This is also the sorrow of these musicians themselves. If everyone attaches importance to copyright, I think the development of the whole Chinese music scene will be better.
