Core Viewpoint - The dispute over the original singer of the song "Year Ring" has escalated, with both parties claiming different rights to the song, leading to public controversy and legal implications regarding copyright and original performance rights [5][6][9]. Group 1: Background of the Dispute - The controversy began when a popular internet personality, "Wang Zai Xiao Qiao," stated that the original singer of "Year Ring" is Zhang Bichen, despite the song being created by Wang Sulong [2][5]. - The topic trended on social media, igniting debates among fans regarding who the true original singer is [2]. Group 2: Responses from the Parties - Wang Sulong's team responded by stating they did not intend to engage in the controversy but later announced the decision to retract the song's authorization, preventing any further performances of "Year Ring" [5][6]. - Zhang Bichen's team asserted that she is the "only original singer," providing evidence that her version was the first officially released recording and was the only version used in the drama "Flower Bone" [6][7]. Group 3: Legal and Industry Perspectives - Legal experts noted that while Zhang Bichen's evidence supports her claim as the first performer, it does not necessarily exclude the possibility of multiple original singers, as Wang Sulong's version also qualifies under copyright law [9][10]. - The definition of "original singer" is not explicitly defined in Chinese law, but it generally refers to the first artist to publicly release a recording, which aligns with industry practices [10][11].
