Legal analysis: It depends. Generally speaking, there is a unified organization that accepts the entrustment of record companies and collects copyright fees on their behalf. The specific cost will be different. Some public welfare performances can be deducted from taxes and fees after collecting copyright fees, but commercial performances cannot be deducted. If media records such as audio-visual halls are recorded and distributed, the fees charged will be higher. Of course, there are similar friendship sponsors. For example, if the two companies have a good relationship or there is cooperation between artists, a free agreement can be reached. A song can be divided into lyrics and songs, and there will be corresponding words and compositions. The copyright of songs belongs to the songwriters respectively. If you want to use songs, you must pay the corresponding fees to the songwriter and songwriter, except for the reasonable use stipulated by law. Music copyright belongs to the copyright owner. The copyright owner can authorize it to a third party, and then the third party can profit from it.
Legal basis: Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).
