Here in Belgium, it's about the same situation as in the Netherlands,
or maybe worse.
I am currently trying to ignite a public discussion about this issue,
in collaboration with an official artist organisation.
This seems to gonna take place in 2007. Hopefully.
I'll keep you guys posted here.
I regret though that some people are putting CC "against" copyright,
while it should be complementary, in my opinion.
I also know of well known artists, who have used CC and then got
trouble with their collection agency.
SABAM - the major Belgian agency, told me they can't administer
different songs in a different way for the same artist.
And their contracts give them exclusive collection rights. Only
exception would be the artist's music on his own website. hmm...
Seems like a short way to paralysis.
Have a creative day,
Pieter
