@steaphan @ehasbrouck @SuzyShearer @wbs_legal see, that's the difference because in #Germany the users if #copyrighted materials have to evidence that they properly licensed it, down to the point that #CollectingSocieties will demand #royalties unless the artist is evidently not a member nor covered indirectly by international agreements.
- Sadly that also means that artists need to self-d0x with their "legal name" to publish stuff under more permissive licenses (i.e. @creativecommons ) and not have their licensors get rentseek'd by said "collecting societies".
So yeah not much better, just different...
- Personally I'd love to start a radio station with non-#GEMA music only...
