Accordingly, Noo Phuoc Thinh spoke clearly for the first time about the recent scandal with musician Do Hieu. Specifically, he said that since Do Hieu posted a status about music copyright issues, many viewers commented on the same content on Noo Phuoc Thinh's social media platforms, claiming that the male singer had been "singing for free" for a long time.
Noo Phuoc Thinh affirmed that "up to now, according to the principle, each show organizer must request a license from the Department of Culture and pay copyright for the songs performed in the program through VCPMC - Vietnam Center for Music Copyright Protection. This center has been authorized by musicians, including Do Hieu, to receive royalties. Do Hieu also confirmed that he received money for the songs that Noo performed from this center. Noo also pays royalties to other musicians through the center for each performance."
Noo Phuoc Thinh affirms "no singing for free"
Noo Phuoc Thinh said that he bought exclusive rights to each song for 2 years. After the expiration date, whether to renew the exclusive rights or sign the copyright or not is an agreement between the musician and the singer. The story of the request to renew the contract was discussed by Do Hieu with Noo Phuoc Thinh's side a month ago, through manager Tuan Khanh.
However, Noo's side decided not to renew the exclusive rights, for a number of reasons. At present, Noo has no intention of continuing to exclusively use these songs. When there is a need, the male singer will discuss with the musician and fully respect the regulations on performance copyright of the Vietnam Center for Music Copyright Protection.
In addition, Noo Phuoc Thinh only signed performance rights with digital music companies, the remaining copyrights are signed by the musician himself with these units.
Noo Phuoc Thinh said he understands that the relationship between musicians and singers is a symbiotic one, where both sides benefit when working together, so he always respects the musicians' intelligence and appreciates the works he sings.
Noo Phuoc Thinh affirmed that he is willing to sign copyright agreements if requested by the musicians he has, is, and has collaborated with. However, with the 8 songs by musician Do Hieu, he does not want to continue singing. Therefore, there is no need to ban him from singing as musician Do Hieu said. He himself also does not want to use these songs anymore.
Noo Phuoc Thinh confided: "I feel sad that things have gone this far. I also regret that the songs in this scandal used to be my hits. But the story couldn't be saved, so let's just consider it as a lost cause."
