Going to friends at a big party, the ... be ready for what comes in the midst of the noise of the ball, "a man in civilian clothes" and the need to pay for music. He will tell you that you legally money kind of music that is played in public required to be deducted. It is possible to require that after the first man to knock you for a second and more time to pay. This time songwriter. Such a rule in the near future will be to train all Russians - from owners of restaurants and nightclubs for drivers of minibuses and sellers in the village shop. And away from the music of the tax fails, apparently no one - for "NO" to fight the development of the legal framework for organizations joined illegal sound recordings already Office of the Attorney General. After all, for music in restaurants, buses and swimming have to pay for you and me. After discrediting the Russian Authors' Society (RAO), their plans for the music with taxi drivers charge (see the release of "Taxi and Blues" to "NO" from 26.10.2004), in the arena of "extortion music" came second organization - Russian Phonographic Association (RFA). For a start, she decided to take on the St. Petersburg restaurateur. If the waste of money for the authors of musical works, the RFA - for performers and producers of phonograms. In Russian Phonographic Association contains important Russian and foreign record companies, producers groups and artists: Boris Grebenshikov, Tatiana Ovsienko, Universal Music, Sony Music, "Melody", "Nikitin", "Lissa Rice" and others. The heads of these labels have a position on the board of the ARF. In total, they account for 80% of the music market in Russia. It is for these companies in the long term and to money, collecting XRD was employed. Based "published implementation of the acquisition consideration for the use of sound recordings for commercial purposes" their work on the,, the Association of Articles 45 and 46 of the Law "On Copyright and Related Rights". Interpret the law in the XRF is simple: the owners of the shops, restaurants, buses, offices, beaches, airplanes, when they hear the music, are required to share profits with the club. RFA attempts money. For reproduction of musical works, including those who do not belong to its members, and those who do not get to collect direct revenue from music Commercial duplication, among others is a free children's music from the rink or in fairs, public events with free admission, as the City Day. Under the provision of the Phonographic Association of minimum rates for the non-profit performance for the musical accompaniment family dinner can be attributed. If a party is found "a significant number of people who do not return to normal family" and even arranged a holiday in an open area, the owner of the site or premises pay. Fees for public services ordered pretty big. So, the owner of a country house, decided to have the wedding of the daughter of my friends and acquaintances invite must sign a RFA contract and pay for the use of phonograms 5% of the total cost of a holiday, and no less than 6000 rubles. A few months ago in Moscow for talks with restaurateurs and hoteliers followed "prices" announced. Package - 1500 rubles, when the number of seats is less than 30, 31 to 45 people - 2000 rubles, 500 rubles per 15 continues to visitors. Offer to pay a restaurant in the shopping center not less than 10,000 rubles. The distribution of these funds is very fun way: 50% of the remaining 50% performer receives on the basis of 20 to 80 is divided between RFA and producers of phonograms. This is known as the protection of neighboring rights. Worst human rights violators are punished by XRD, while rarely drastic action by the association would now be carried out anywhere cause hundreds of thousands of complaints. While tactical goal RFA - lobbying. "We might have to pay huge fines for each song, but rather persuasion" - said: "Novye Izvestia" CEO Vadim Botnariuc RFA. All the forces non-profit organization, to the restaurants and shopping centers focused. Together with the Russian Academy of Justice and the General Prosecutor of Russia developed legal framework to combat organizations, illegal sound recordings. What penalties provided was not disclosed. When asked about the reaction of the owner of the restaurant, as he had come in and ask for money, Mr. Botnariuc answered honestly: "Send the mat." But the fault of this traditional Russian sloppiness, the habit would not pay, and the total failure of the "Law on Copyright and Related Rights" match. Public use of the song Mr. Botnariuc as theft. Meanwhile acknowledged the leadership of the ARF that the union - the structure of the non-state, and the question of why they pay the business, and prices by the company itself, a learned response stated: say John Doe, of course, can also an office to collect the money, but instead he will definitely convince them that he was not a crook. RFA convinced and also while no one failed. As for the state, according to General Director for many years, it removes this feature. Now only prints by Peter RFA is about 500,000 per month. Total for Russia, in December last year, the fee is more than $ 100,000 per month. In this case, according to Vadim Botnariuc in Holland "music tax" is collected monthly by 300 million euros. And Holland is known, let alone Russia. It is easy to calculate that if the RFA is at least for the Dutch level, every Russian citizen will pay 2 euros per month. And if Russia is completely comply with European standards, then you would pay 25 euros a month. The head of the St. Petersburg branch RFA Eric Valdez Martinez claims that pay in Europe in the soundtrack of everything: cafes, restaurants, shopping centers, and can not understand why such an initiative of the Russian entrepreneur enthusiasm is not enough. Apparently not aware western lawyers in defending the interests of the film company "Columbia Pictures" and Walt Disney that nothing committed in Russia is half-hearted. If you. Tax rates, those who eat 80% of sales If the government helps small and medium enterprises, the way that the company could not exist and develop. And if you take the money for the benefit of the "poor," up to the very "poor" are best to reach the crumbs. It is no wonder that companies perceive a hostile other structure provides them share the profits. "The new musical about" Russia could become an instrument of pressure on any organization. "Before I fireman and another local official, whereby the adhesive festive posters and Christmas lights on the windshield food stalls, and now the company is taking a few make" musicologists in civil "- waste and XRF - said" NO "to the conditions of anonymity the owner of a capital grocery stores -. refuse course we will raise prices if we will impose a new tax "But if owners of restaurants and shops that revenue complain of music in the entire shares of their meager earnings and often. pay to the organization really the music activities XRF feel quite differently. So, for 10 radio stations and 30 nightclubs Petersburg signed trade agreements with the club. Curious and scoring system of music in taxable "music tax" turns institution. The fact is that the more spin, for example, the album Dmitry Malikov, the greater the charge the manufacturer's records. Of course, the restaurant is not accurately record what songs they listened to visitors of the day. It was therefore decided to take the play lists of radio stations, the average number of esters of an artist on the Russian radio and. The statistics for average So if the restaurant turn obscure ethnic music, jazz or classical music, the money is those likely to go the printed discs Serduchka and Natasha Koroleva. At the end of the conversation with the CEO RFA reporter "NO" I asked him a simple question: "If the guests to your home and you have music playing, you pay for their union dues?" Mr. Botnariuc admitted that he did not pay, citing the fact that its residents do not "a significant number of people." RFA chief promised, will lead to the absurd situation. But traders came by his messengers, the current situation was considered absurd. Thus, only for the case, do not invite Mr. Botnariuc guests. Reference Rates RFA for the public performance of musical works, discos, clubs, fitness centers, exhibitions and other public places with paid entrance -. 6% of the revenue from ticket sales, but not less than six thousand rubles Hotels, motels, guest houses (for the music room) - 0.5% of the monthly income of a living room, but not less than 6 thousand rubles. per month.

Restaurateurs St. Petersburg RFA plans Denis Firsov, PR manager of the restaurant "Dostoevsky": - When I was approached with the offer to pay for the music in the room, I would have sued. I will not. With the fact that authors and performers have the rights to their songs, but I have no assurance that these rights have any connection, and it will fight to give money for musicians This is not America. This is Russia, and the issue of copyright is not working properly. And the willingness to take musical RFA taxes of food, just eat - this is the quickest and easiest way to earn money for the club. RFA - a commercial association, and it is unlikely that they will get involved in the court proceedings. After receiving no money in one place, making just another restaurant. In general, the question of payment for copyright is not resolved at the level of ARF and in the law, then we would have to pay for the use of music. And I always say, that's just my bartender is listening to music loud. Paul Slutskaya, advertising manager of the restaurant "Karl and Friedrich": - In our country there is a big problem for the protection of copyright. This was one of the reasons for our choice of music for our restaurant. We found the music to which no one has a copyright - German Folk. Bought CDs and twist. And to pay for our service providers, we would not have. Would the court could rely on forever, and fought with a finish. We already have experience in such matters. We already have three-year study is only for the use of a piece of music, and it seems it will take a long time. Difficult to detect plagiarism. Irina Rataev, attorney for the restaurant "Angleterre": - We pay the company the rights to use our records and foreign musicians for many years. I think if it is a law to execute it. As required by law, pay musicians, we have to pay for this work. It is common practice. Artists have the right to be paid for his work.
