The SGAE is shoving at our expense, do not allow

The SGAE , which stands for Society of Authors and Publishers, has submitted late on the economic balance of 2010 and the figures are the ones that get scared. Namely a very ebullient Teddy Bautista, president of the managing body, said that in 2010 have raised the exorbitant figure of 365 million euros, representing an increase in revenue of 7.7% compared to 2009 and the return of SGAE "a growth path that had been given until 2007" as Teddy said the same.

On the other side of the lot of millions, a significant portion of which were obtained by the familiar canon digital and therefore illegal according to European justice and Spanish , 5.8% -341.2 million euros, has been allocated a small part of SGAE partners and 25 million euros has been earmarked for the proper functioning of the entity. What do you mean "small part" Yes, since it appears that the company distributes what we are dealing it collects on the basis of absurd criterion of "I give more to my major cash represented by their works", or put another way, give more to the creators that indirectly contribute most to the entity-with which the 100,108 members of the SGAE direct a tiny percentage gets the bulk, another small absurdities and finally rough sees no euro.

Yes, even Uncle Teddy was quite happy with the economic results of 2010, also said that there has been a good year and hopes that "the laws governing the discharge system further clarify the picture" and allow them to recover growth medium that had until 2007 (this year came at the top historic 377 million euros shared among the partners).

That's how sad things are. For other friends, is very sad to see how the SGAE collects hundreds of millions of euros of them illegally, thanks to the legal coverage that provides legislative power which really only serve to promote initiatives shameful and continue feeding the owned entity and its leaders with the stupid copyright system that locks up completely obsolete industry and no benefit to the culture capitals.

But although the situation is sad, complicated fight government and collective management organizations continue laughing at us right above all putting the "battle piracy" and protecting legacy systems clearly dangerous to the general level of culture in scams institutional , it is our duty to continue fighting to eradicate from society SGAEs and illogical laws that clash against fundamental rights and are useless.

For all this, do not forget to # nolesvotes , join to follow the necessary steps to claim back what you have been charging you unfairly, digital avoid paying the fee or take any other action of rebellion that comes to mind. Enough is enough.
