This popular petition campaign was born to safeguard the great world musical artistic heritage in order to avoid its senseless use as background music through radio and television media, for purely commercial purposes that are not directly connected to the musical field strictly related to that particular work or referred to that specific field of action.
It is requested that Parliament promotes a law aimed at protecting musical intellectual works so that they, due to their particular immaterial nature, are considered inviolable like great works of figurative art which, unlike musical ones, can already enjoy inviolability because they are physically realized and therefore cannot be modified or used except through copying.
This law, if enacted, will be a gesture of great civilization and respect towards the great artists of the past, present, and future.
I somewhat agree with Thallo. Even though I am no fortune teller and therefore cannot know exactly why you think so.
In my opinion, it is a... Load of rubbish, but not too much.
That is to say: I understand the underlying motivations of those promoting the petition... Some use of certain musical works has disturbed me too in certain commercials (but sometimes also in certain films), but ultimately musical works do not ask to be "protected from commercial insults," but rather to be loved or appreciated, and to do this, one must provide 360Ā° music education.
So, yes: rubbish... but not in good faith of intentions.
The thing brought to mind that when I was 8-10 years old, the pairing of Vecchia Romagna & Romance in F major sounded good to me. And I didn't even know who that music belonged to. I had to wait until middle school to discover the composer. As for Vecchia Romagna, I knew it well: it made quite a showing in the liquor store window.
Then growing up, I appreciated - separately! - both Vecchia Romagna and Beethoven ... (though more for other things than the Romance in F major)
taste is not established by decree, we should not have had a Ministry of Popular Culture and we should not have a Ministry of Elite Culture... therefore, one always evaluates everyone's good will, BUT the roads to hell are paved with good intentions. Anyone who forbids me from dancing to the beat of Beethoven, having sex to the beat of Ravel, or sitting on the toilet listening to Mahler is a FASCIST.
