Korean music industry falls victim to Chinese labels' copyright infringements

Amid a tense social atmosphere in which China's government and nationalists are laying claim to some elements of Korean culture - from kimchi and samgyetamg to hanbok - Korean netizens have recently discovered that China-based musicians and labels have been infringing on several K-pop artists' copyrights on YouTube. Chinese companies have claimed they own the copyrights to g.o.d's “Road,” IU's “Morning Tears,” Toy's “Good Person” and Younha's “Waiting” among others, and have been illegally collecting the associated royalties.
