Renzi Government, taxes doubled on PCs, TVs and phones. As Siae requested for Gino Paoli

Well !! I am really happy...

Then I will read it, in the meantime I have abandoned SIAE, but I don't think I have saved myself.

Evidently, SIAE (which is at the center of everything) was not satisfied with (only for those registered in the music section, about 80,000) the more than 12 million euros in annual revenue.

...which, among other things, seems to have doubled (if not tripled - I still have to verify this) the annual membership fees!

Now we are at 153 euros.

I'm just saying this... I think it won't take long before they give 80 euros of sh*t that is useless and solves no problems with one hand, and take away 300 with the other....

From my point of view, they messed up the policy when they allowed everyone to register (without an exam); on one hand, they suddenly increased the number of members, but on the other, they raised the management costs for all members and all works, which in the end could be nonsense written by the biggest loser on earth who has 150 euros a year to throw away.

Over a long period, this has led them to raise the fee to contain the costs of managing what? Exactly, works that can be written by the very last of the last and without a shred of competence.

Oracle, I'm just telling you that several times (over the years) I have had the opportunity to listen to the claims of certain "composers" (not that I consider myself better, but at least I try to put a bit of care and awareness into what I write) who responded to the question "is it transcribable?", asked by the music section employee regarding the feasibility or lack thereof of the score in the event of depositing a CD (as often actually happened): "no", and go ahead with the deposit. Do you want to know what kind of music it was? Dance, the stupidest and most banal at the level of writing difficulty, and whoever was depositing said that it could not be transcribed. It would have been easier for them to say they didn't feel like doing it (in addition to the fact, less bad) than to say they weren't capable, so we aren't talking about quarters, eighths, "thousandths" of a tone, just to ironize. In short, aside from the fact that for me 95% of dance music (practically just "rhythm") should be abolished, because it is an agony.

What you're saying, Simò, is true, and indeed the fools who believed in those miserable 80 euros, just see now how they will make them spit it out along with interest, penalties, VAT, and other hidden and non-hidden taxes, far exceeding, as you write, the "gifted" euros; they'll be left crying about it.

in parte è una provocazione, magari influenzata dal caldo....

ma se la SIAE ricevesse a catena, una serie di e-mail di protesta di un alto numero di associati

che magari minaccino di non esserne più soci...??!!

Ehhhh I had thought about a boycott years ago, but who would follow this path? Just think, I proposed the same thing to protest against the service disruptions caused by the Cotral transport company, but nothing, people respond (instead of going to the general management offices) "let them put my son to work", "but it's already a lot if they even pass" [meaning: if buses even show up]. And sure, they'll pay for your ticket for you.

I hope it's not true that we have reached this point...

It wouldn't surprise me if it were, it would all be within the norm. It would surprise me a bit instead if the phone call had actually taken place and with these tones, because above all, a high-profile person is more easily controlled.

... and then
