Buma employees also embbeding
Get your calculators ready!!
The people that supposedly protecting the best interest of artists are lacking the knowledge of their own action: embedding copyrighted videos / tracks within their Hyves pages.
Say no to Buma/Stemra
The BUMA/STEMRA (abbreviated BS, which is by coincidence also the abbreviation for bullshit) announced some new rules yesterday during their press conference for embedding videos from online media streamer sites (youtube, dailymotion, whatever). starting from 2010, EVERYBODY must pay 30 euros per year for EVERY clip that you embed from youtube; if the embedded video falls under the copyright list of bullshit/stemshit (to be known: 17k musicus in the Netherlands and 1,2 mil worldwide –source: SP!TS).
