Italian radio downplaying Italian songs

It seems the Italian radio stations have been irked by Italian singers. They are not sending new songs Antonacci, magpies, Turci, Ferreri, Mengoni, Pausini, Malika Ayane, Zilli, Naomi, Emma, of Dari and many others and would decide all, not to put also broadcast the next releases. The motive behind such a move maybe is copyright litigation.

Many local Italian singers are anyways hit hard by file sharing and piracy, and now the Italian radio stations move to stub them out is not something they will like. They sell much less than they would want to. To shake the industry’s recent agreement between SIAE and record that the current rights are charged to transmit the radio songs, almost 5% on gross sales, they would like to add a further 4%. All this would result in a near doubling of existing rights paid to the SIAE recordings. We wonder when they wish to make it all clear.

Broadcasters complain that they would receive a fair compensation as through radio broadcasting some really handsome profits are made, when compared to revenue from CD sales and tickets for concerts.
Their reasons are fair and valid, and have got the two famous Italian musicians Lucio Dalla and Francesco De Gregori moving in to support it.

The duo has always been respectful of the radio. But apparently they acknowledged the reasons for Italian radio a few days ago. They agreed to waive their rights arising from broadcasting. All we can do is hope that the protest falls.
