We arrived at the 1000 visits! And to celebrate we carry an article by Repubblica.it out this morning on the scandalous situation of copyright in Italy. Sharks record attempt in every way to grab the last remaining pennies to the operators of bars and restaurants, but do not understand that it kills the music and the national radio market! A free culture is not an opinion, must be a right for all! For this I suggest you read "Free Culture" by Lawrence Lessig, because it is the most comprehensive text on the chaos of copyright (it is also freely downloadable from the web). Here I report the article.
"All you need is a radio, a CD player or a TV and, of course, keep them on. Forming the background in a shop, soft notes are in a restaurant, a compilation "fired" from hair salon or a bar, and even put on a disk in the parish: this has a cost, like music in the disco.
Claimed in thousands of letters that are coming to the parties concerned. The venue owners, shopkeepers and craftsmen are angry: they struggle to understand why, if there is paid to the SIAE copyright for the use of recorded music in public you have to pay another fee, which goes into the coffers record companies.
is not a scam but the rights (those related to copyright) contained in an article in a law of 1941. Yes, a law of the last century. Figures between 70 and 600 € according to the width of the room, collected by the consortium of phonographic Scf, which brings together the record and protects more than 300 companies. Some people adjust and pay, in part because several industry associations have partnered with Scf getting discounts (among other Federdistribuzione, Confcommercio, Federmoda). And there are those who threaten to go to court and calls for no pay.
Confesercenti, CNA, Confartigianato complain the record to cash in a manner and with aggressive tariffs unilaterally. "We simply claim a right not managed so far - says Gianluigi Chiodaroli, president of SCF - through information and agreements with the associations which take into account the different contexts in which music is used." "About two years ago - he adds - we have moved from large distributors in the area. We send 30-40 thousand letters a year."
There are several proposed fares for those bars and restaurants and the shops and hotels along the "calibrated" based on the number of stars and rooms. The basin is huge: for example in Italy more than 75% of bar and over 50% of restaurants use music regularly, according to estimates. At first the agents Scf concentrated in the center-north. For several months the Consortium has been entrusted to the Hunter, a company based in the province of Pavia, to organize collections throughout the country. The controls have increased: the employees make an inspection and feel the consortium to the holder to pay the bulletin.

Edi Sommariva, direttore generale Fipe che rappresenta gli esercizi pubblici della Confcommercio, ammette: "È un adempimento in più che la categoria non si meritava, ma c'è una legge e va rispettata. Però siamo riusciti a stabilire una cifra condivisibile". Mentre Tullio Galli, direttore Fiepet (Confesercenti), non si dà per vinto. "Noi consigliamo di strappare queste fatture - afferma - Contestiamo il metodo con cui vengono eseguite le rilevazioni". E avverte che dal 2010 si rischia il caos: "La Siae ci ha fatto sapere che da gennaio anche lei riscuoterà il diritto connesso per conto dell'Afi, l'Associazione fonografici Italian. We need a single regulation. "
been sorely tested by the download pirates, the record companies are now trying to collect those rights once paid only by those who used the music for profit." It is an unexpected tribute, a tax for the associates, "says Galli. Cenciarelli And Hector, the department of CNA national organization:" The small businesses are targeted, and body hair stylists receive the letters on the basis of simple deduction that the music is used or disguised inspections . Sparano in the pile also affects pizzerias: having to do with clubs and pubs? We demand that the institutions make it clear. But in some cases we have already addressed the court. "Meanwhile, if the payer is entitled to a discount today, who refuses even runs the risk of incurring a penalty."
