protect me from myself ...
... in case you decide to screw me Thomas Cardarelli (source: www.ubusettete.it )
all began that day when I won the second of three prizes as a prize in a competition of short plays. First place ENTITLED seven days in the theater replica host, the second five, the third three. At the time of the verdict, laughing and joking (as happy as those who came in second and sad as those that arrive first) remember saying: "I think it was better to finish third ... ah ah ah ...". So I did not yet know the SIAE. Today I laugh more.
SIAE I knew I stood under the guise of a tiny little office, stuck in a basement a cheerful and sunny sad road of Rome well. I do not expect any row but, rather, a sweet girl waiting for babe that made me smile to accommodate circumstances. All spinning smooth, so that one of my thoughts was: "You see that the legends are increasingly cruel reality?". The girl I explained my duties and my rights. I explained imiei duties, in some ways quite arbitrary. I, for example, I have not yet figured out what kind of parameters are used to determine whether a company is amateur or professional. The expectant mother settled the question the assumption that I could decide on that so he would not change anything, except at a cost of three euro per day more, if I had decided to declare myself a professional. However, if professional crowns you, if you can not reach a ceiling of € 50,000 minimum annual turnover, you are not entitled to tickets SIAE. A company that decides to autodeclassarsi back to the rank amateur as well as saving a few euro, get (ta-da!) the famous Border.
Anyway, the sweet girl filled me with sheets signed and countersigned ripped a sum here use to call "a repository for copyright" and that I'm here to quantify, but that was enough to make me understand that I would work to at least to be able to reset the cost SIAE.
Under "deposit" Zingarelli says it all: a contract whereby one party (SIAE) receives from (IO) a movable thing with the obligation to return it on demand or upon the defendant. In reality the deposit in question is the minimum guaranteed to be paid to the author, not only will never be repaid, but instead will
further increased if the proceeds of the show exceeded all expectations and I am bombarded with fame and wealth. If the cap is reached, in fact, it would be no longer the SIAE mg, but 10% is collected; net ... like saying, if things go wrong I will still have to have the money, if you are okay, I I will have many more!
Now, what was printed on my face in disbelief, devoting my jaw to let go and my astonished eyes to crumble, is to have known that If my company was not a small group without subsidy cap, but a company
high board, and if the theater had been a guest National Stable, well: in that case, the SIAE treatment would have been exactly the same. To help you understand: when they have an audience of thirty people, selling tickets at prices more than reasonable
, printing in just ten days ago a poster made with photoshop, the opinion of the SIAE is that, thanks to the proceeds of my show, I could very well afford to go to dinner with Lavia, who has just come from Argentina pushing people, winking at No. 1 critic, smiling at the photographer's cool, silhouetted against the background of one of the many wonderful posters. In my naivety I wonder, but if it is to SIAE
10% of the net proceeds, because there must be a minimum guaranteed to break your legs and breath to every small company? If the public gets a ten, if it takes one hundred ten. Would not it be easier? Not ensure that those without resources, hooks and subsidies, at least to believe they can do theater?
But not all. I also learned that if I were to represent the text that was the mine, reported regularly to the SIAE by myself, I still self-supervision, and usually pay the deposit and wait to get it back, I do not know how many months later, just as self- collection of my rights copyright, only slightly reduced by a percentage that here we do not dare to call some lace. Obviously I would be allowed to waive my rights protected, so that, to avoid and fool me fool me alone, and without my knowledge, I have to pay me! Where is the logic? If I am myself to play my text, as if I were at home, in the shower singing a song of mine, why should there be an inspector to soaps SIAE (which is perhaps even drop the soap)?
