I am curious what do buttons and knobs have to do with taking your eyes off the road? Are you implying you can find the knob without looking because you can just wave your want around till it hits the knob? And what do you do if there are several? Can't you do the same with the buttons?
While the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (otherwise known as SOCAN) already collects money from many of these events for the songwriters, Re:Sound will represent the record labels and performers who contributed to the music.
If copyrighted ended professional art would effectively die. We would end up with a bunch of worthless hobby artists. Yeah some will be good, but most won't be.
Why do you care? There are some people who make money, and they didn't do anything at all. While my boss may not pay me for work that he already paid for me... he does make money based on work he did years ago, as he owns the company.
How do you think the performer should get paid? Just the $15 you paid for the CD? Just $15 once? Why should you get to listen to the music forever for free?
My guess is yes. The venue is responsible for the fee. You might be able to convince the venue, that you are playing only live music. But really what is going to happen is, the Venue is going to charge to a little more.
It is not misleading to call a not for profit company "not for profit." "Not for profit" doesn't mean the company doesn't make money. Or do you think "not for profit" means everything the company does is for free?
1) If the money isn't going to who it is slated to go to, then something should be done about it. Not throw your hands up and say we shouldn't do this.
2) This is about the performs and artists getting paid for their work. Not about supporting up and coming artists. If you want to support up and coming artists then buy their songs, or go to the gigs.
3) A portion of the money collected should go to paying for the collection. And if millions are spent collecting additional taxes, then there is something wrong.
I don't quite understand the argument of "the artist should only get paid once." For one thing, what does this really mean? If the artist performs at an arena, should only ONE guest pay, and everyone else get in free? Should the artist only make a certain amount of money, no matter how large the arena is, or how many people attend?
For that matter, if I write some software and sell it to one person, and then make a couple of minor changes, am I only allowed to sell it to the second person for only a minor amount?
So what if the creator gets paid multiple times? Or perhaps you are just jealous?
The issue here isn't so much the artist is getting paid for not doing anything, but that the DJ is. You say an artist should only get paid when they perform, so does that mean you don't think they should release CDs and iTunes, or allow their song on the radio? Because that is what you are advocating.
What is the artist sells his CD. Then decides to go on a tour. And someone pays $16.99 for the CD, sets up a performance outside the arena and charges admission. Is that acceptable?
I'm not sure what you are saying is "wrong." Most of the rest of the world USES cash as opposed to CC. CC usage is becoming more prevalent in Europe, but it isn't as pervasive in the rest of the world as it is in the US. Also MOST of the rest of the world prefers their local currency over USD or any other currency.
Ever summer I travel to Europe. I visit these grand cathedrals and marvel at the architecture. I check out these really cool old buildings.Then I return home and see all these boring buildings, and get just a little bit sadder.
You're paying 3% of your net income for the convenience of handing vendors a piece of plastic instead of a piece of paper... over the course of a year, that'll add up to around, what, $850 for a person making median income?
But you don't have access to that $850. For the most part you'll pay that whether you pay in cash or CC. I use my CC for a few things, online transactions, gas, and large purchases.
Some behavior are suspicious fro a reason, so finding more information about what's going on is reasonable.
Spending large sums of money should not be suspicious and more info is unreasonable. This strikes me as an officer asking a question and not getting a response, so he arrests you for being suspicious, thus giving him grounds to search you.
I just got through reading a bunch of these comments. Makes me thirsty, I think I'm going to head down to 7-11 for a Big Gulp... Thankfully I don't live in NYC!

Mark Twain was a good writer, and definitely ahead of his time... But I am pretty sure he didn't spell words with 9s.

and goes up to $39.33 for crowds of more than 500 people.
I hope the planet can afford $39.33 (ohhh wait there might be dancing, better make it $79.66)

It is more like... "That will be $3 please. Oh wait you want to ENJOY it? then that will be $6 for you."
It's up to organizers of public events or owners of wedding venues or bars to pay those royalties
So basically the owner of the venue will just charge you $10 or $20 extra, whether you play music or not, or dance or not. Would be my guess.

For weddings, receptions, conventions, assemblies and fashion shows, the fee is $9.25 per day if fewer than 100 people
So no, the major effect of this will be for the DJ to charge $10 more.
This is only because you are used to cash. If you grow up with numbers on the screen things will be different,
So you are saying most people use cash so they can cheat the government? If you charge your customers tax, you haven't increased your cost

Perhaps you should drink less coffee. So what fully open source stack do you like to develop on?
Neither of them read that way.

From FTA:
Establishments that skirt the ban would face a $200 fine.
Is that a $200 fine per year? Per incident? I am guessing more like a $200 year fine...

A $100,000 is a small stack. Watch late night poker sometime...
