Attempts to play many popular tracks are met with the message, "This company has not provided us with the authorization to play their music and we are striving to respect copyrights." Since appearing on QQ Music, similar messages have spread to Duomi Music, NetEase Music, Kugou, TTPod and Xiami. The trend is a response to the government's increasingly severe control of copyright. In July, the National Copyright Administration of the People's Republic of China released a notice ordering online music operators to cease spreading music to which they do not own the rights by July 30. Sixteen music platforms quickly purged some 2.2 million songs from their platform. The age of free streaming in China appears to be coming to an end, and companies are now struggling to find a way to make their users pay. As China's biggest music-streaming platform, QQ Music is exploring how to fight its competitors while changing Chinese users' expectation of a free lunch.Excerpt 2 Illegal Music Downloads Not Hurting Industry, Study Claims It's common sense: taking a thing that you used to pay for is not good for the people who created that thing. But when it comes to entertainment piracy, lots of folks have argued that things aren't quite so simple. Now, with the release of a new analysis of 16,000 European music consumers, those on the side of piracy have evidence to back them up. A few findings of the study—conducted by Luis Aguiar and Bertin Martins using Nielsen "clickstream" data, and released by the European Commission Joint Research Centre—found that illegal music downloads had essentially positive effect on the number of legal music downloads: Specifically, the study found that legal purchases would be about 2 percent lower without illegal downloading available—meaning, yes, illegal downloads boost legal downloads. Their conclusion: people who download pirated music mostly do so for tunes they wouldn't have ever spent money on. The positive effect of streaming was even larger.
【正确答案】正确答案: Downloading Music Should Be Charged Recently, music fans in China found that many of the songs they used to listen to have become unavailable for both play and download in popular music platforms, such as QQ Music, Kugou, TTPod and Xiami. The music platforms claim the banning of unauthorized music is to respect the copyright of the music creators. However, there are findings suggesting illegal music download may boost music sales. Is it really necessary to ban free music download and charge certain fees for music play and download. As far as I am concerned, listeners should pay for downloading songs, and the reasons are as follows. To start with, charging fees for downloading songs has increasingly been an irreversible trend around the globe. It must be noted that songs downloaded are set at a very low price, say, 5 bucks a song, which definitely will not cost much to the Internet users and they will remain loyal to their favorite singers like ever before. But imagine 5 bucks is multiplied by millions of people, which will be generous revenue for the whole industry. Second, downloading songs for free has allowed illegal piracy to run rampant for years. Charging fees for high-quality songs will crack down on any violations of intellectual property rights. To conclude, downloading songs should be charged for it can generate abundant revenue for the music industry and safeguard the intellectual property rights of musicians.
