In addition, it will keep an eye on audio and video programs used by Karaoke sites, radio and TV stations as well as websites. Reports have it that the new association will be at liberty to take legal action against copyright violators.

Zhang Zhenhua, former president of China Radio International, has been elected as President, and Wang Huapeng as Vice President, secretary-general and legally responsible person for the association, state media writes.

At the same day of this announcement, Baidu, China's top search engine, was warned by the Music Copyright Society of China (MCSC) that it could lose advertising contracts over allegations that the company allows the exchange of copied music files.
