[Lady E]

hello can one of you linguistically talented german crew help me with a few translations please?

i need:

Tontragerart

Beanspruchte Freiexemplare

Spieldauer

Gesamtspiellange ohne Pausen

all very dull but i dont have a dictionary here and i need to fill out GEMA forms!!

thanks

[Tomoki]

No, they aren’t dull. I hope this helps:

Tonträgerart – kind of sound carrier

Beanspruchte Freiexemplare – demanded samples for free

Spieldauer – playing time

Gesamtspiellänge ohne Pausen – entire playing time without intermissions

[jerKy]

sweet ;)

fucking gema!

just put "piss off" into all forms

:-p

[wired]

yes...gema is a sucking organisation for stone-old people...i just heard some days ago, that they wanted to ask the government to rise the gema price on every unrecorded tape/cd etc from 6ct to 18ct... and for what do we pay this... to give the money to classical concerts, "volksmusik" and other sounds for weird very old people... not for protecting the rights of copyright owners...

[mr_chombee]

I'm paying for my own music. how crazy is that?

[marcel]

hey wired nothing against classic, can be cool sometimes

[FORMAT]

mr_chombee: you're not only paying into the gema, you're also gettting paid by them, for example when your stuff gets played on the radio .... ;-)


Cheeers,

[Tomoki]

Hehe, I believe the chance tends towards 0!!lol

But what about dj-sets on the radio? Gema as well?

[FORMAT]

Well, no ....only the artists whose record get played in dj sets will receive money.... djs may be covered by GVL (Gesellschaft zur Verwertung von Leistungsschutzrechten), which covers my jobs as a studio guitarists for example (i.e. when I just play rather than compose (membership is free)

@marcel
yes, sometimes nice... i only wantet to say with this that the gema uses the money not for new music or such music as ours, they use it for music for (the most) old people... they are old themselves... and as you know from (as example) politicians, they firstly save their own money and the money of the rich people... and so the gema... takes it from everybody, but not everybody gets money from them

[FORMAT]

@wired

not true - as soon as you play your stuff live, on the radio etc you'll get money from them. of course you pay into the gema every year, but if your stuff gets played often, you'll earn more than that. its not to do with old people, they just monitor the usage of your music world-wide because people like us could never do that could we?

@format: 1. if my label wants to become a member of GVL, I have to pay once again + more paper shit. 2. my annual incomings as a registered GEMA artist are only around 25% of the money I've paid before as a label owner...or even less. so what? where's all the money at? definitely not in my bag =(
these guys just send always shitty statements about how many million $$$ THEY have earned that year. fuck them...
