Spleen gave the go-ahead or how the waste with the nose remained

Last time on Habré, and not only often, it comes to angry copywriters.
What they say money is not enough, you can not listen to anything, and even humming is prohibited !

But what interesting story I found on the Internet:

One day, people come in the form of the Rock Bar UndergrounD, which is located in the city of Orenburg. Check. One of the most unpleasant words for any entrepreneur.
During the inspection, no special violations were identified and in order not to leave empty-handed, the inspectors turned to music playing in the bar. Aha And you do not deduct money in the waste! Aha But how so! All deduct, and you do not! Fine to you! XX thousand!
At this time the song played Splina - Time Back ...

They did not receive a bribe. Gone nesolono, as they say. And the fine remained hanging ...
')
Local lawyers advised to pay the deductions to the RAO, or try to write to the SPLIN Group so that they give permission for the public reproduction of the song “Time ago”.
They decided to try. They wrote a group of SPLIN, they say, the guys are asking us to pay for your song TIME BACK.

After the correspondence from Vasilyev, a handwritten letter of the following content came:

Bar saved. Radioactive waste with a nose. But the sediment remained ...

Here in LJ I found the source of this news.

What kind of organization is such RW?
Go to their website and read:
The Russian Authors' Society (RAO) is a non-profit public organization created by the authors for the implementation and protection of copyright in the field of intellectual activity. The society operates on the basis of the principles of voluntary and equal membership and democratic self-government. RAO operates in the entire territory of the Russian Federation, in accordance with the Charter of RW, registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on September 30, 1993.

Does this mean voluntary? On the same site I found a search by authors whose rights are represented by RAO.
The search for “Spleen” did not give any result ... Then to whom and why should the bar owners pay?
Further search showed that we have another organization in Russia: the All-Russian Public Organization “The Society for the Collective Management of Related Rights, the All-Russian Organization of Intellectual Property” or simply WIPO . Here in their base I found Spleen.
Echoes of this story were found in the notorious image bablaw . He writes that:
Unfortunately, for the second year now, as in our country, the law on copyright and related rights is not valid. Instead, the 4th part of the Civil Code is effective from January 1, 2008.
base.garant.ru/10164072.htm
It provides for so-called accreditation, (Articles 1242-1245), which entitles RAO to advocate for an unlimited circle of people without an agreement.

That's just interesting ... does this money reach the right holders?
