In her most recent post, she talks about the idea of having online royalty statements for authors.

Ça va être quand même difficile à Hamon de justifier son ralliement à Aubry comme allant dans le sens de « l’intérêt de la gauche ». « L’intérêt de la gauche » serait donc de reconduire à la tête du PS ceux qui l’ont définitivement plombé du côté du social libéralisme : quatre 1er ministre de la gauche au pouvoir, par ordre chronologique Mauroy, Fabius, Rocard et Jospin, plus celui qui incarna longtemps la droite ...

A Kodak, uma das maiores empresas do ramo de imagens digitais, acaba de fazer uma espécie de acordo com a Nokia para licenças cruzadas entre suas patentes. O tipo de acordo ainda não é bem claro, mas aparentemente consiste em prover benefícios significativos para ambas empresas, inclusive em relação a royalties.

Assuming negotiations succeed, you'll have your Pandora to listen to after all. On Tuesday, Congress passed the Webcaster Settlement Act, which gives Internet radio stations like Pandora until February 2009 to reach a new royalty agreement with copyright holders; if they meet the deadline, the government will not interfere, which is great news since it was the gov's Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) that set the current market-killing fees in the first place. From PC Magazine: ...

When SoundExchange, the organization that represents many labels and artists, proposed steep new royalty rates for radio webcasters last year, they shortsightedly killed off their own revenue stream. Instead of their proposed rates being cut back as part of a standard negotiation, they were surprised to see the U.S. Copyright Royalty Board reject opposing arguments and adopt SoundExchange's rates fully. Now Pandora, the popular streaming music site, says it's paying over 70% of its revenue ...

Image via Wikipedia The latest (yet not new) story on Pandora claiming they will pull the plug if there isn't relief on the proposed new streaming radio royalty rates has people talking again. The discussions and debates on these potentially crippling rates (see previous posts and savenetradio.com) are heating up again thanks to the Pandora story (and the recent RIAA-backed shutdown of Muxtape).I agree that it is a very complex issue - with many parties ...Shared by Mark Reeder (1)Contribute comment
