Berlin Match - The announcement cut the desire to sing to thousands of educators, while the concert season of toddlers in full swing in Germany. In late December, GEMA, the German equivalent of the SACEM, summoned by letter 36,000 nurseries and kindergartens to meet quickly the copyright on the songs and rhymes reproduced or performed in public without permission.To not quibble, GEMA provides educators lovers arranging a tariff: for 500 copies of texts or partitions, a public kindergarten will have to pay 56 euros per year, a garden run by a church 44.80 euros, excluding taxes . Provided that the prescribed form duly filled: for each song title, composer, publisher of the work and release date should be carefully identified, all of which must be monitored regularly.
In a country where the musical education of children - fewer still - is considered essential, the GEMA is about to be awarded the prize of the most unpopular initiative of the year. "Idiocy bureaucratic," he told Bild, the most widely read newspaper in the country. "Mesquin," said Gwendolyn Stilling, spokesman of the Joint Federation of welfare, which defends the interests of kindergartens.
"Pass the kindergartens to the fund, is the height of the base," said Julia Klöckner, candidate CDU (Christian Democratic Union) Parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate. Directors kindergarten talk "Error recipient" or "joke", and recall that toddlers can not read or partitions or the lyrics.
It is indeed very limited quantities: photocopies of the works are generally parents who wish to sing with their children during performances. But for GEMA, mandated by the German publishers and composers of music, no compromise: "Since 1985, copying of music is banned," said Bettina Mueller, a spokesman for GEMA.
The goal is not to prevent little singing, but to find for kindergartens legal framework on human reproduction, similar to that which already exists for a decade, for primary schools. Given the emotion surrounding the case in the middle of the holiday season, the political support for Family Affairs has made many statements in recent days.
In late January, the regional ministers responsible must meet to consider a federal solution to this problem. Markus Sackmann, regional deputy curator of Bavaria, said working since September with a model contract sum. "Transmission of copies of partitions also allows families to better integrate immigrant origin," he told the local press.
It is not desirable to introduce unnecessary complications. "Cecile Boutelet Article published in the edition of 06.01.11
