After the flag-raising ceremony, the audio signal will return to normal, I hope the audience understands."

Right after that, a large audience simultaneously condemned BH Media because not long ago. This unit was once entangled in the controversy over copyrighting the Vietnamese national anthem.

This is similar to the unit Next Media muted the singing of the National Anthem and the videos of other countries' matches on its channel to avoid having the music copyright confirmed.

Originally shared by the Journalist on Facebook with nearly 60k followers:

Millions of spectators were shocked: "My team, singing the national anthem of our country in an international tournament, was copyrighted". Then turned to anger.

On MXH, many people believe that the lyrics of the song "Tien Quan ca" have been copyrighted by someone and thoroughly exploited for commercial purposes, banned from singing without permission even if it is their own people, singing their national anthem on its territory.

So far, the story is quite clear: They turned off the sound for fear of copyrighting the recording of Tien Quan ca as the match on November 16, using the recording of a foreign record label.

All domestic and international legal documents clearly state that the recording and the mixing and arrangement by the subject who spends money, time and money to perform and register the copyright belong to that owner. Derivation of a work is considered an independent work. Of course, in order to do this, the owner of the record must obtain permission and pay the copyright to the musician or the owner of the track.

A little bit of an example: The famous song "Sad City" belongs to the late artist Lam Phuong. Thuy Nga Paris organized a recording with the voice of Che Linh and paid for both Lam Phuong and Che Linh. So, if later Lam Phuong's child or Che Linh's grandson wants to use this recording for a certain program and put it on Youtube, he must agree, must ask for permission and get permission from Thuy Nga Paris, otherwise he will be banned. copyright, compensation, program deletion or channel deletion.

So the story of the national anthem was turned off last night on National Television, when the team singing the national anthem was not related to the fact that certain businesses "take advantage of it", for the sake of money, they pay honor. It is related to the negligence of the tournament organizers leading to the broadcasters and broadcasters fearing penalties when replaying on platforms and turning off the sound.

Patriotism, emotions, the more careful and lawful.

Silence of the national anthem, sometimes due to some legal void.
