Specifically: VCPMC represents music copyright; RIAV represents the rights of sound producers; APPA represents the rights of performing artists; and VAFC represents related rights to cinematographic works, films, and television.
The problem is that when a musical or audiovisual product is put into commercial exploitation, it usually entails multiple layers of rights simultaneously: copyright, performing artist rights, recording producer rights, and video recording rights.
Meanwhile, each representative organization is currently only licensed within the scope of the rights or works they are authorized to manage. As a result, many businesses are left in a difficult situation.
Legally, Government Decree No. 17/2023/ND-CP, which details certain provisions and measures for implementing the Law on Intellectual Property regarding copyright and related rights, has facilitated businesses to avoid having to independently identify each copyright owner or negotiate separately with each author.
However, in reality, things are not so simple because businesses encounter difficulties right from the start: determining which level of access they are using, which organization they need to work with, and, more importantly, how to fully comply in a simple, transparent, and cost-effective manner.
Based on that experience, the Center for Digital Property Rights and Solutions has researched and developed the LECOCE (Legal Engine for Copyright and Ownership of Creative Economy) platform, a legal infrastructure for copyright and ownership rights in the creative economy .
The fundamental difference of LECOCE is that, through the system, users can conveniently and transparently look up relevant legal information, identify the type of rights that apply, and comply with copyright regulations.
The platform also allows for connection and verification between users, rights management organizations, rights holders, and state management agencies when necessary. The LECOCE platform marks one of the efforts to simplify copyright compliance in the current context.
