In MIDEM (Marché international record and music publishing), Frederic Mitterrand, the French Minister of Culture and Communication, has revived the " Google tax, "Le Figaro reported here. "I want to be seen again making contributions of major players in the Internet," said the minister, saying they "are indebted to those who create, those who compose it, those who interpret and transmit cultural works. " "I do not accept our inability to leverage the staggering income online advertising that are made in France by actors often operating from territories fiscally attractive," he said, without specifying its action plan.
Taxing cows
And so, after coercion with the recent web laws designed to curb piracy in France, the music industry is now trying to save his skin recovering some of the huge profits earned by the giants of the internet! It is pathetic to note, once again, how this industry is not only unable to renew its business model, but continues to use its powerful lobby to influence governments! The logic is amazingly simple. Indeed, as the innovators of the Internet, Google , Facebook and company are sitting on mountains of cash, why not tax these cash cows to prop up declining sales of CDs and hide dirt and a lack of jurisdiction. And voila! Voila! Search
money ...
Oh! By the way, "Google tax" is a recommendation from the mission "Creation and Internet", chaired by Patrick Zelnik , which submitted its report to the Ministry of Culture. What was its mission? Improving the legal supply of cultural goods on the internet and pay creators. Who is Patrick Zelnik? He is the CEO of the label "Naive . As for the web laws, this project was initiated by Denis Olivennes , CEO of FNAC until 2008. Two players linked directly to the music industry "traditional". That door think, anyway.
Canada, pioneer or black sheep?
To this end, Canada is an exception. Considered a black sheep in some countries like the United States, the birthplace of the majors, he is regarded more as avant-garde in that it already has a legal framework for the music copied for personal use. In Canada, private copying is legal and does not constitute a violation of copyright. The reason is that, for the right to make copies for private use which is given to consumers, copyright holders inherent musical recordings are granted the right to remuneration in the form of royalties for private copying.
is the CPCC (Canadian Private Copying Collective), which represents songwriters, performers, music publishers and record companies, that is to say the all beneficiaries on whose behalf the royalties are collected. But the fees are outdated. It only applies to audio cassettes, the Mini-Discs and CD-R. The digital storage devices such as MP3 players and iPods are not secured. There would certainly need to amend the law to reflect the digital age for the benefit of the creators.
