PREFACE: I am attaching this article taken from the portal ROCK.IT on what is the mystery of SIAE and its new leadership which looks like a very sterile and without future way out for what is a sector that brings together all the young to the elderly, the singer from the DJ, the Music listener.
Yet another sad chapter of what is no longer worship in Italy, home of club great songwriters and musicians.
Teo Filippo Cremonini
The news is a few days ago, but it is worth repeating because maybe someone has escaped: the Council of Ministers, upon proposal of the Prime Minister and Minister for Cultural Heritage (and poet), Sandro Bondi, has appointed Commissioner SIAE an extraordinary man who will soon be 90 years. It is ninety, you read that right. It is neither a hoax nor a bitter action situation of our minister and poet. Need we say more? Retrieve the jaw that he fell down and try to make the local mind. We are talking about a man born in 1921, when she arrived that the "small" digital revolution, not to mention the mp3 of years had already over 70 (or already in retirement age well). We can imagine what is inside that change is the first digital source of the problem he has to solve.
Now, deliberately omitted his name because it does not even care who it is, its history, its location, its value, in fact, precisely because there is nothing personal, to be honest we feel an ambivalent feeling towards him: tenderness and disgust.
The new commissioner said: "I accepted for the sake of culture." No one doubts his love, but perhaps an act of love even more important would be to give a fuck this proposal, by reflecting our Government on its policies for the allocation of positions of power. And 'what is expected of a man with such experience, with more to lose and nothing to prove.
However, the first task of the new commissioner will be to reform the Statute of the SIAE and its regulations. Do you understand? The reform of an institution is at risk due to the collapse of the digital revolution is entrusted to a man of 90 years. A nearly century-old called to lay the foundations for the future management of copyright in Italy. With all the extreme respect for elders, we are beyond the threshold of the grotesque.
Dear musicians, if you really want to be part of all this, at least think about the reasons why you would like to subscribe to the SIAE. It is not an obligation. Think seriously.
