Younison Event - Artists Stand Up For Your Rights

Posted by Mac-Cain13 on Jun 11, 2009 at 16:41

30 June, Theater BAFF in the De Vrièrestraat 36, Antwerp 2018

The days when people would solely go into a record store to buy their music seem long gone. New innovative delivery models from subscription services to pay-per downloads have changed the way the industry does business. Whereas the digital age has opened a world of opportunity for us, Younison advocates to ensure that music creators receive a fair return of the digital revenue their work generates.

In an effort to inform artists and managers of how to best control their work within the digital environment, Younison is organising an event on the 30th of June in Antwerp.

All artists are invited to join the cause and sign the Charter to urge for transparency and accountability in the collection and distribution of digital revenues.

Programme:

19.00 Welcome drinks

19.30 Introductory speech, Tom Barman, dEUS

19.40 Presentation of Younison action plan, Kelvin Smits, author and founder of Younison

20.00 Presentation of legal proceedings, Attorney Van Melkebeke

20.15 Sign up to legal proceedings

20.30 Networking cocktail at theatercafe “The Living”

If you want to join the event, sign up over here!

Ik had hierbij toch wel nog enkele vragen.

Een van de vragen is hoe het verder gaat met artiesten die niet zichzelf willen wegtekenen in het exclusief
gedoe van de organisaties zoals Sabam, die normaalgesproken instaan voor het eerlijk en deftig beheer van een
deel van de inkomsten van elk Belgisch artiest?

Momenteel laat hun exclusieve vorm van contract een aspirant-artiest niet toe om zelf z'n promotie/distributie markt te kiezen zonder z'n eigen benen te breken.

Graag had ik geweten of dit hierbij aan bod komt? Of waar dit event juist over gaat ?

Ik heb hierover meer geschreven op devolgende url's:
