[pp.int.general] Compartilhamento legal! – Brazil is putting an end to the ‘war on copying,’ at R$ 3,00 per month

[Rodrigo Pereira]

In Brazil, the copyright law provides an centralized office to collect and distribute copyright royalties. In pratice, this office (ECAD - Escritório central de arrecadação e distribuição  de direitos autoais - Central office for collect and distribution of copyright royalties), mantained by record industry, distribute  inequality copyright's royalties priorizing big artists and big record companies using own criteria without intervention. 

One of proposal in this copyright reform is create an centralized office, in substitution of ECAD, but maintained by state. This proposal create several criticism by record industry.

Rodrigo.

Usually there are companies for problems like this. In germany we have
GEMA, in the USA e.g. ASCAP. Think brazil will have one of those too.
These companies usually find ways to get the money to their richest
members - without knowing each copy and each performance of a single song.

The levy is no "fair" solution to this problem, but one that might end
this war pretty soon.
