Before being prosecuted, singer Quang Lap had repeatedly caused controversy related to music copyright on YouTube.
Accordingly, in 2021, a young singer publicly reflected that 17 of his songs were copyrighted after signing a contract with Quang Lap. This person said that initially he only agreed to use the work, but later discovered that the contract had copyright content. Therefore, many videos on Youtube have been copyrighted and removed.
In response, Quang Lap's side said that the use of the songs was carried out on the basis of a contract and agreement between the parties.
The Golden Voice Center founded by Quang Lap was also mentioned in debates related to the exploitation and management of bolero music content on digital platforms.
