The reason for opening the
“Music” blog was the first post to
write about the sale of MP3Search, allegedly in connection with an amendment to the copyright law.
Let me remind you that on September 1, 2006, the
Law “On COPYRIGHT AND RELATED RIGHTS” was amended, in accordance with which “the author receives exclusive rights to exercise or allow to report the work in such a way that any person can have access to interactively from anywhere and at any time of your choice. ”
Everything is good, but a serious wave of reports has flown through the online media that the end to numerous mp3-shops has come, and interest has been expressed in how giants such as allofmp3.com, mp3search.ru, delit will get out of the current situation. .net.

The amendment caused a resonance, but who won from it?
And almost everyone benefited from it.
Won the
owners of giant sites , getting rid of small, but eating their bits of parasites - non-giant mp3 sites.
The
owners of not very large mp3-sites , who did not harbor any plans for the further development of their sites, won
little by little the crumbs. They simply expensively sold their portals to more reckless or less lawfully informed web users.
Even the
authors who had another opportunity to fight for their rights won, even a little illusory in the realities of the Russian audio-business.
Who lost? Hard to say. It is possible that “cashiers” like ROMS and FAIR, because they will now have to work a little more due to the aggravation of the authors :)
If there are owners of music sites on Habré, please share your opinion - how did the amendment touch you and did it touch you at all?
