Dutch copyright collecting society, Buma/Stemra, is seeing compensation for royalties lost through podcasting according to DMEurope.com. Podcasting enables producers to make audio content available over the internet. Subscribers can then subscribe to feeds that automatically download new programs. Burma/Stemra claims that podcasting should be treated the same as webcasting and that permission must be sought from the copyright owner before use is made of audio material. As an interim measure until January 2006, the society is arguing that professional podcasters should pay 85 euros per month while amateurs should pay up to 35 euros per month.
The IPKat is firmly of the opinion that copyright shouldn’t go out the window just because there’s a new way of infringing it. However, he advises copyright owners to think seriously about how they can work with, rather than hinder, new technology if they want to avoid the sort of problems that they were faced with at the height of illegal music downloading.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
