Jxhill quotes from mainstream media's data saying that the government departments are trying to control 2 billion yuan business interest. As for the intellectual property rights charging fee, it should be a negoitation between the copyrights holder and karaoke business sector. It shouldn't be taken over by governmental body (zh).
