Abstract

The paper reviews and evaluates the process of formation and development of Vietnamese law on copyright for musical works based on the experience of international treaties and the laws of other countries in the region and worldwide. From there, several appropriate legal policy recommendations were developed to improve Vietnamese copyright law for musical works. Recommendations include: (i) Have a planning strategy and long-term plan for building and perfecting Vietnamese law on copyright for musical works; (ii) it is necessary to expand the scope for many organizations and centers with legal functions such as bar associations, bar associations, and other legal service organizations to carry out copyright protection for musical works; (iii) it is necessary to disseminate and deploy working methods, contact competent agencies and organizations when musicians discover that their musical works are being infringed, and to inform businesses and individuals working in the field of art in particular and in the community in general about the importance of ensuring copyright for musical works; (iv) Flexibly combine copyright protection with other forms of online protection.
