Copyright is not only a barrier against infringement, but also a rhythm that helps artists continue to write new works. Protecting copyright is not only the right of artists, but also the responsibility of the whole society. When creative values ​​are respected, artists will continue to contribute, bringing quality musical works to the international arena.

With its commitment to international integration, Vietnam has continuously improved its legal framework to protect copyright and promote creativity. The organization of World Intellectual Property Day in Ho Chi Minh City, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification, is not only a symbolic event, but also an important step in affirming that the city is moving towards becoming a creative center.
