Challenges
Major players in the game industry have certain requirements for game background music and capital investment. For promotional purposes, they will choose to purchase music rights or customize them. However, there are still many players in the game industry using unauthorized music, which has greatly harmed the rights of game music providers or music publishers.
For game developers, to add singer or band music to the game, the developer must sign a license agreement. These license agreements can be quite complex for a variety of reasons, such as the duration of the license, the impact of game sequels, and so on.
First, the copyright of the song itself is separate from the copyright of the recording. If you are using a recording of a song, the game developer will need two sets of licenses-the license for the song itself and the license for the specific recording.
Second, copyright can be co-owned, and song copyright is usually the case. If you want to use songs that are copyrighted together, the game developer needs permission from each copyright co-owner, and either party may refuse to apply.
Third, if a game developer syncs a song into a game and then offers the game online via the Internet, in terms of copyright, the game developer is both 'copying' and 'spreading' the music. This is important because when it comes to songs, reproduction and distribution are often licensed separately. Most importantly, the copyright for the same song may be owned by different individuals or companies in different countries, and regulations around the world vary Not the same.
These factors limit the use of music in games and the development of the industry.
