Vietnam will, for the first time, provide more than 10,000 songs protected by copyright for online listening and downloading to local users.

Vietnam Music Copyright Protection Center has agreed to provide copyrighted songs for FPT Corporation under the website nhacSoO.net. This will be the first and the largest online legal music network in the country. The users may listen to the songs on the website for free, but they will be charged to dowbload the songs.

This is a good sign to legalize the online music especially in ASEAN countries, where the intellecture properties are in so important for them. I wonder how Malaysian government deal with illegal music download.
