[pp.int.general] 70.200 copyrights - ask PP´s for help - nightmare for RIAA

[aloa5]

(just funny list of AABBCCDD follwoing *g*)

GEMA is a member of BIEM. Other members of BIEM are SABAM (Belgium) and 
in the Netherlands it ist called STEMRA, Denmark NCB - I think this 
could be the same (even I don´t know).

Complete list is here:
