text of the petition:
decide the German Bundestag, may the federal government, particularly the Justice Ministry to urge the state supervision over the collecting societies such as GEMA, VG Wort and the other to perceive at last practice.
Reason:
particular should be set up by the Ministry and the control authorities in the German Patent and Trademark Office a 'Special Commission'. This Commission is responsible for ensuring an unbiased and independent analysis of the history of the German collecting societies concern.
The failure of state supervision in the field of collecting societies is well documented. The Study Commission on Culture in Germany, it collected the evidence and draw the right conclusions. The inclined observer must gain the impression that any one Frittenbude more pronounced than the state subject to supervision billion art collecting societies. The federal government should implement the recommendations of the Study on a scale of one to one.
So here's to something else: The
undoubtedly economically and politically influential, the collecting society GEMA.
GEMA in 2003 celebrated its hundredth birthday. In his welcome address gave the then President of the Council responsible for the groundbreaking that not everyone hiking club that also sing, have a large legal department, which bring him close to the copyrights in all ramifications. Sensitivity is a good guide, if it is a matter of enforcing the copyrights. We
do not know if the Lord President had then heard of the miserable state supervision, we do know is that actually quite a different date for the current economic and (cultural) political power, wealth is the cause of the GEMA. In the penultimate year (2008) celebrated the collecting society, her seventy-fifth year, although without ceremony and without saying words.
The presentation of a valid government order to the predecessor STAGMA place on 28 Sept. 1933rd
Obviously, the GEMA to a voluntary, critical analysis of their historical development and its economic roots are not able to. Only the financial reports numbered correctly. In its "Guide for Members" we not only miss the important date of the state award and the period from 1930 until 'after the war,' there is suppressed completely.
So now a commission to themselves as' concrete 'action by the state supervision, impartial and independent' to accept the issue. Many German authorities, companies and organizations - from the Federal to the Betzenberg - have risen to the task. We expect that even an organization that is in the state of mission, their responsibilities will be aware of ... it was under pressure from the surveillance.
Bundestag and Petitions Committee will have to deal with the collecting societies. A similar petition was well received. The Justice Department should incorporate the suggestions made by the appropriate forum for the formulation of its policy towards the collecting societies.
