Lo dice Hans-Gert Poettering, Presidente del Parlamento Europeo

Esto es lo que ha manifestado Poettering:

No podemos permitir que tras la crisis monetaria, los americanos pongan 700.000 millones de dólares en el sistema bancario, namely, a unos bancos que ganan dinero para su uso privado. Also, hay otro aspecto. Nunca comprenderé que haya 700.000 millones de dólares de los contribuyentes disponibles para salvar al sistema financiero y no para luchar contra el hambre del mundo. Esto no es aceptable y por esto propongo correcciones.

Barcelona cuatro, otro local libre de pagar a SGAE

The place was reported by the SGAE for the usual, for not paying music management rights even though the venue plays copyleft music (libre). The sentence says like this:

You have to keep in mind, first of all, that alternative electronic music is heard in the defendant's premises, very little known, and that it is aimed at a specific type of audience away from the large consumer of more or less commercial topics.. The witnesses, customers and employees of the premises, corroborate that in Barcelona four, you only listen to this type of free music, namely, works known as “copyleft” -in contrast to “copyright”- (…) Por todo ello, the claim must be dismissed in its entirety.

Clearly, it seems that now, People are starting to wake up and defend what is theirs.. Why doesn't the Spanish government do the same for us and allow situations like this??

Good, I come to collect the phone bill.
– But… If I don't have a phone…!!
– Our inspectors have confirmed that you. has a mouth and ears, and therefore communicates with others, and therefore you. use our telephone services. You must. pay for them.

While it seems that in order not to give more publicity to the issue and for it to serve as a precedent again, The SGAE will not appeal the sentence.

Always – Lantana

Lantana not an artist who goes unnoticed when you first hear. Here is the thing that, that of wanting to know more, to research on it.

This is what happened to me several months ago and since then I'll follow the track to discover who was born in Barcelona but raised in Málaga is very young and started playing in bars and small orchestras until you get the turn .

Disorder and loveis his first album that has garnered rave reviews from both press and audiences and it is not surprising: the disc contains several great songs.

Un mundo mejor es posible: Suspendido el canon – la Audiencia de Barcelona lo envía a Europa

La Audiencia de Barcelona acepta preguntar al Tribunal de Justicia de las Comunidades Europeas si el canon regulado por el actual Texto Refundido de la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual (TRLPI) contradice la normativa europea.

Las consecuencias prácticas de este auto son muy duras para las Entidades de Gestión. La resolución implica la posibilidad de suspender todos los ingresos y reclamaciones judiciales por canon hasta que Europa se pronuncie, por lo que esa fuente de financiación se les puede paralizar durante la tramitación de la cuestión.

The city of Oviedo also says NO to the SGAE

The city of Oviedo avoids putting music linked to the copyright of the SGAE and avoids paying the crazy amount of 85.000 in monthly fees auditory.

Your councilor, José Suárez Arias-Cachero, calls for reflection on this and states that it is a step to enjoy a San Mateo“more austere and respects ciudadados”.

In presenting the holidays, the mayor charged the General Society of Authors and Publishers, the most unpopular SGAE.
