The copyright of movie songs belongs to the song creator. If the film production company creates its own music, the copyright belongs to the company.

stars, artists and individuals have to cover songs, spoof or adapt the original songs in concerts, TV programs, webcasts and public occasions without the consent of the original, otherwise they will be sued by the original company for huge infringement fees.

after the work is successfully registered, the MORP system will automatically generate an international standard ISWC temporary code, which is a global music copyright code. Through the copyright registration number, the music copyright associations in various countries will provide corresponding copyright agency protection, and the works will be used in these countries. The local music copyright associations will collect the copyright fees on their behalf and transfer the fees to the copyright owners through the China Music Association.
