Reporter Lee Jae-hoon = ‘Cupid”s new K-pop girl group ‘Fifty Fifty’ Music service company Dugiverse has started to clarify the copyright-related suspicions of ‘Cupid’. <\/p>\n
On the 18th, Dugiverse said, “We acquired the copyright for ‘Cupid’ through a legal process through our music publisher.” <\/p>\n
Dugiverse explained that they did not purchase the copyright of ‘Cupid’ without the knowledge of the representative of Attract, Hong-Jun Jeon, Fifty Fifty’s agency. They refuted, saying, “In the first place, the copyright of ‘Cupid’ was purchased for a third-party artist, regardless of Attract or Fifty Fifty, so the premise of the suspicion that he bought the copyright without Attract’s knowledge is distorted.” <\/p>\n
According to Dugiverse, on April 9 of last year, the company started communicating with the publisher of Cupid’s original songs in order to obtain songs from artists other than Fifty Fifty. From May of the same year, we discussed whether to use and approve in earnest, and in December of that year, we finally agreed on the transfer of copyright with the composer and publisher of the original song. <\/p>\n
Dugiverse said, “The original song of Cupid (commonly known as ‘demo song’) has been transferred with a third singer in mind, completely unrelated to Fifty Fifty or Attract. Dugibus illegally acquired the copyright without Attract’s knowledge. The claim that it was acquired cannot be fundamentally established in itself,\u201d he said. \u201cIn this regard, we have secured sufficient communication data with the publisher of the original \u2018Cupid\u2019 song and a third singer. “he explained. <\/p>\n
Regarding the assertion that the Korea Music Copyright Association (hereinafter referred to as the Korean Music Copyright Association) does not have shares in the original song writers, and that 95.5% of the shares are registered in the name of Dugibus CEO Ahn Seong-il (SIAHN), “The details of the shares listed on the Korea Music Copyright Association’s website at the time of registration Since it must be the details of the writers who own shares in the actual finished song, it is natural that the name of the overseas original song composer who transferred the copyright to Dugiverse before registration is not included.\u201d <\/p>\n
“We discussed these procedures and registration methods several times with the music artists at the time. However, even if the copyright was transferred, the ‘right to name’ must be maintained, so the original song writers’ credits “‘Cupid’ registered with Korea’s Copyright Association is a work that was created by adding the additional work of arranging and lyricists by Ahn Seong-il and Korean lyricists to the original song by a foreign composer, so Cupid’s ‘original song’ (Demo Song)’ and Cupid’s ‘Complete Song’ should be clearly distinguished.” <\/p>\n
At the same time, “The stake was distributed according to each person’s actual participation, such as writing lyrics, composing, and arranging by SIAHN, and Korean lyrics by (Fifty Fifty members) AHIN and KEENA. (SIAHN) 28.65%, Ain (AHIN) 4%, KEENA (KEENA) 0.5%, and the suspicion that Ahn Seong-il has a 95.5% stake is not true at all.\u201d <\/p>\n
Regarding the allegation that ‘Dugiverse’ takes all of the revenue from ‘Cupid’, they said, “The production company ‘Attract’ will secure about 50% of the revenue, and the copyright holder will secure about 10-11%.” Explained. As for the revenue distribution structure for actual sound sources, record producers account for about 50%, service providers for about 30-35%, copyright holders for about 10-11%, and performers for about 6%.
\n
Regarding the allegation that the Swedish composer’s signature was forged and the stake changed, “Since all the copyrights of the original song’s overseas writers were transferred to Dugiverse, accordingly, various rights to the original song ‘Cupid’ and implementation of related procedures were comprehensively addressed to Dugiverse. All matters approved or delegated,\u201d he refuted, saying, \u201cAll matters that must be fulfilled by documents and formal procedures within the association are legal procedures based on contracts.\u201d

\u201cAccording to the copyright transfer contract of a foreign composer with a publisher, it is stipulated that \u2018the assignee (Dugiverse) has the discretionary authority to approve the method, form, and other characteristics of the song credit,\u2019 so Dugiverse does not Through additional creative activities such as additional composition, arrangement, and lyric writing, it was possible to create legal sound sources as much as possible.” <\/p>\n
Of course, \u201cIt is not common that the copyright of the original song was transferred before the song source was announced externally, so it is true that the copyright registration caused some confusion not only by the staff in charge of Dugibus but also by those involved in the Music Society. Under close consultation and cooperation between the music associations, the copyright was registered with the same procedures and details as of now,” he emphasized. <\/p>\n
In addition, “Cupid’s complete song copyright did not change from ‘1\/n (including overseas original song composers)’ to ‘distribution ratio negotiated between authors’, but ‘distribution ratio negotiated between authors’ from the time of registration with the Korea Music Association It was reflected. The creations registered in Korea were not the original Cupid songs (demo songs), but the finished songs, and this is because overseas original song composers had never been registered with Korea’s Music Composers Association.”<\/p>\n
However, the Korea Music Society has decided to withhold payment of copyright fees for ‘Cupid’. This is in accordance with the internal regulation that in the event of a copyright-related civil or criminal dispute, a decision to withhold payment of copyright fees can be made. <\/p>\n
In addition, regarding the allegation that Dugiverse forged the signatures of foreign composers, “The copyright holder for the finished song of Cupid is definitely Dugiverse, and the subject who transferred the copyright of the original Cupid song is Dugibus, and the overseas original composer and its publisher Since the registration and utilization of the original song has been delegated or transferred, we have already received all the authority for the implementation of the registration procedure from them. Specific evidence for this will also be revealed through investigation agencies or courts in the future.” did. <\/p>\n
Therefore, “The act of reporting as if Dugibus had forged the signatures of overseas original song composers against their will and recklessly forged their signatures without any rights, disregarding the circumstances and objective data of the case, and it is a serious offense against Dugibus and CEO Ahn Seong-il.” It is to spread false information. It is a criminal act of defamation at the right time, so we express our deep regret.” <\/p>\n
Attract and Dugiverse are fighting over the truth about the copyright of ‘Cupid’.<\/p>\n
