Reinforce the basis of the recording
industry |
|
|
In the era of drastic change surrounding the music industry, we are engaged in the establishment of new legal
system that will allow producers to maintain their music creation cycles. Facing the rapid evolution of information
technology, we are appealing for the necessity of "Broadcasting right of sound recordings" and "Importation
right of sound recordings" to prevent the reflow of Japanese-repertoire recordings from foreign countries
of different economic situations. |

|
Eliminate and prevent the infringement
of intellectual property right |
|
|
To protect the right of the producers from infringement, RIAJ takes countermeasures against illegal activities
in alliance with domestic member companies and related organizations of rightholders. We are also actively involved
in the "Anti-Counterfeiting Association" along with groups of rightholders in other industries to enlighten
people about intellectual property. |

As the secretariat of "Anti-Illegal Recording Alliance," that consists of nine music related organizations,

Handle international copyright
issues |

As the National Group of IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) in Japan, that has more
than 1,500 member record companies in 76 countries, we are making every effort to eliminate pirated copies worldwide.
Especially in relation to the recent increase of illegal activities conducted on the Internet, we are working
on this problem as the common problem in the global recording industry. |

and lectures |

we are actively working on raising people's awareness on copyright and advancing the cultivation of human resources
