KTV fee schedule 2008 issued

The China Audio-Video Copyright Association (CAVCA) releases a fee schedule for copyright use by Karaoke TVs (KTV) in 2008.  Shanghai paces all Chinese provinces with the highest price for use of copyright per terminal per day, 11.1 yuan.  Beijing follows with 11 yuan.

The collecting society says the fees are calculated based on the 12 yuan cap set by the National Copyright Administration in its No.1 Circular 2006 while referencing sampled statistics of the different regions.  CAVCA also vows to enforce rights aggressively by seeking liabilities from those KTVs refusing to pay.   (by Liu Chao)
