VOCALOID Copyright management for creator "Voluntary Content Publishing Administration (VOCALOID MUSIC PUBLISHING)" established
According to the release "purpose of company establishment" is as follows.
In the existing music market, the artist belongs to a music office, the music goes through a music publisher, and a scheme is undertaken by a copyright management operator, such as the General Association of Japan Music Association (JASRAC), to manage it Although it is common in general, many of the works of VOCALOID creators do not apply such a scheme, and as a result, despite being used for commercial purposes, there is a reality that appropriate consideration can not be enjoyed. VMP has been established with the aim of developing and utilizing UGC for users as well as supporting creators' music activities by undertaking sound management of UGC and incidental work in an optimum form for creators. We aim to expand the VOCALOID related market by maintaining a sound balance of creators, users, and VMPs.
The main business contents are three, "information sharing function between VOCALOID creators", "utilization development work of independent production contents", "management work of independent production content", and their contents are as follows .
◆ Information sharing between VOCALOID creators
"Some VOCALOID creators not only people who are acting as professional creators, but also people who have been using VOCALOID for a while are still having it," so that information sharing of device operation methods, including information sharing, By sharing information related to music publishing business such as rights and contract work business, we aim to expand opportunities as active as VOCALOID creators and aim for expansion of creators.
◆ Utilization of independent production content development business
"We aim to expand the content usage scene by using VOCALOID creators' works at various opportunities," and said that they will promote collaboration with the compilation CD planning · TV programs and events.
◆ Management work of independent production contents
"In addition to managing the right to use and usage form for each piece of music, we will also do fine-grained control on neighboring rights and accompanying illustrations and movies as well" "We collaborated with publishers who manage existing VOCALOID contents In addition to the two points of creating an environment that is easy for users to access such as publishing UGC databases, we will increase the opportunities to use it "In addition, we have prepared a scheme to receive appropriate consideration for use in performance, rental, broadcasting and communication karaoke through partial trust to JASRACIt is said.
In addition, on the official website is a VOCALOID developer, "voluntary content publication (publishing) by Yoshinori Kenzaru of Research and Development Center of Yamaha Corporation which is also involved as an advisor to this" voluntary content publishing and management organization " Put on departure of the management mechanism "is published in a sentence.
Depending on departure of voluntary content publishing and control organization - VOCALOID's music publisher Co., Ltd. Voluntary production content publication management organization
Yamaha Corporation's swordsman.
Always thank you for your patronage of VOCALOID.
This organization started out as a consignment from Yamaha.
As you all know, the songs and videos produced using VOCALOID "Hatsune Miku" became popular content with Nico Nico Douga, and the culture of UGC (Independent Production Content) has been accelerated. From there, music CDs of VOCALOID music ranked in Oricon, and became a popular karaoke popularity, and now we have established a music culture. This thing itself is very pleasing, but at the same time I feel that evil has occurred as well.
In existing music markets, artists belong to a music office, and schemes are generally managed by copyright management companies such as JASRAC through music publishers, but works by VOCALOID creators are soon It seems that it did not fit into that scheme. As a result, I heard that there are many hardships that it is hard to enjoy the appropriate consideration while being used for commercial purposes, being complicated by complications of compliance work, and having to fight hard-to-understand contracts It is.
What I expect from this organization is to release creators from such hardships, more spots come to VOCALOID creators, and in order to make VOCALOID contents more enjoyable to many people, various While trying out policies, what is the best management method for creators, what is the ease of use for users? We also hope to continue to share information with business owners who have already started publication management of VOCALOID contents as well.
Finally, we hope that creators can use this mechanism as a help in your own music activities.
