More than 250 creators, government officials, as well as academics and representatives from over 30 countries discussed ways to better protect copyrights in the creative industry and build a sustainable environment for art creation in the world, in Beijing on November 28.
Co-organized by the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) and the China Intellectual Property Law Association, the World Creators Forum also highlighted fair remuneration in the digital age, covering areas including audio visual, music and visual arts.
It marks the first major CISAC event in China, highlighting the important role of the world's second largest economy in international copyright protection.
As a crucial part of the one-day event, the Asia-Pacific Music Creators Alliance (APMA) was inaugurated, signed by authors from over 15 countries and regions including Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam. It's a milestone move in securing musicians' rights in the Asia-Pacific.
