Marcel,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=916020708-26042005>not that I'm such a
big supporter of SABAM.. But a band has to do something to get the money. A
metalband that I used to do some managing for filled in the
SABAM-papers nicely everytime they played.. It's simple, you only have to fill
in which songs were played and at the end of the year.. Ping! Money! They got
about 1200 euros yearly if I remember correctly..</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=916020708-26042005>A lot of bands think
the money just automatically comes to them.. SABAM has to know how many times
the music is performed or played in order to get the right amount of money to
the artists..</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=916020708-26042005>About SABAM itself..
To my opinion things go wrong because of the decentralisation of the
organisation.. Local offices each have their own ways of thinking and they mix
up dossiers the whole time.. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
