PVK in a few countries copy right holders are being paid for broadcasts of songs per broadcast. I know it is like that in Canada and UK , South Korea and most of Europe. I do not know about the rest of the world. In Canada this cost is covered by commericals and/or taxes. SOCAN is the 'group' that monitors and collects these for canadian Groups. How do I know. I receive a royalty check for 1.98 every month
My first one was for .04 cents...
In Canada And in the USA it is legal to record off the radio. As it is legal to record tv. This is for home use. And is called Fair something or other ... Yea... I am tired... So I cannot remember ... google it...
Where did the Illegal to fast forward past ads come from... guess it was edited out or something..
And the privelege is granted to the Media Corperations to broadcast. Not that it is a privelege granted by the broadcast networks. Read the laws on this. They are changing yes. Not for the good. But towards the errosion of Public domain and less control by the government.
Laws should reflect a society not those few who control it.
I always wondered what would happen if we actually lived in a capitalist society. I think I will never see it. But I am starting to think that I will see Marx's dream come true in the West. This scares me very much. As I do not wish to see the colaspe of the west. But in the long run I think the world will be better off. The west is becoming worse than Europe was a few hundred years ago. And I do think it will collaspe. Greed for 2% can only be sustained for so long...
