New video details SPA’s Lusophone Project supporting Portuguese-speaking society development

In 2017, SPA President José Jorge Letria visited SCM in Cape Verde. At the CAF in Rwanda, the committee encouraged the Lusophone Project. WIPO created an action plan in São Tomé and Príncipe. Solidifying the language, CISAC held its General Assembly in Lisbon with CISAC President Jean-Michel Jarre receiving the SPA Medal of Honour. SCM became a CISAC member that year. Cooperation was increased with visits to societies in South Korea and Morocco.

Tomorrow’s Europe: the return to culture

"We are the continent that hosts half of UNESCO's world heritage. And, wherever you look, Europe is synonymous with style, knowledge, beauty. This is our strength, the undeniable authority on a global scale - and our patrimony, which can not be relocated, must serve to political and economic renaissance. Even more than the economy, culture is the one that keeps Europe together - and culture must be the starting point for efforts to revitalize the Union." It was - the essence of European Parliament President Antonio Tajani - the key message of a high-level conference, held in Brussels on 26 June, right in the House of European Citizens.

Strong voices with clear, percussion messages were heard in the Chamber of the European Parliament - a true "orchestra", including conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim, musician Jean-Michel Jarre, composer and conductor Ezio Bosso, cinematographer Radu Mihaileanu, but also Ministers of Culture from several European countries, museum directors, universities, associations, young musicians, European parliamentarians; in a word, many representatives of institutions active in the field of culture.

Jean-Michel Jarre: "Do we in Europe want to become" digitally colonized?"

The first to be given the floor - and one whose voice and arguments were heard most strongly in the plenary of the European Parliament - was the French musician, composer and producer alike, pioneer of electronic music, Jean-Michel Jarre. Nor could a more convincing defender of Europe's creators in the world: the 12 minutes of his speech condensed the challenges, the threats, the need for help - turning into a real and very striking appeal to action.

And because the French artist's plea has been one of the great moments of the conference, with open-ended applause, but also because the renewal of copyright laws will continue to waves, provoke discussions, we will make a few fragments (and arguments) of Jean-Michel Jarre's speech.

"Every European family, in each of your families, is a child, a brother, a sister, a mother who dreams of becoming a photographer, graphic designer, writer, filmmaker, musician. And who will miss this dream if we do not identify a just economic model for the 21st century and the new way in which we consume and distribute culture through the Internet and new media in particular.

If we want the European tomorrow's cultural heritage to be at the level of yesterday, we simply have to give it the [existence] means, as we have done in the past. That is why the Copyright Directive, which will be voted on the coming days, is at the heart of the subject. What is happening today is the future of the creators on the continent, our culture, the shine of our artists.

The evolution of the Internet has revolutionized our lives - and we have to keep up with it. This does not mean stigmatizing the great actors of the internet, it does not mean treating them as enemies, but the opposite: they must become our interlocutors and potential partners. From a certain point of view, let us not forget that the creators are virtual shareholders of these societies, which develop, enrich themselves thanks to our creative content.

It is, therefore, indispensable to define a legal framework in order to enter into negotiations with platforms such as Youtube, for example, which are defined as storage platforms, archives and not as content platforms. Why? Because the law simply allows them not to pay rights on the content on which they are based for years.

It's been twenty years since young people, music fans and cinema yesterday, have developed extraordinary machines that have become, over time, giants of the internet, not taking into account the collateral damage they could produce and transform today in a threat unless we do something to regulate things. Those who are today against internet regulations in the name of freedom of speech are like those who refused road traffic in the name of freedom of movement at the beginning of the automobile era.

The value of creation has now been transferred to those who distribute this creation, that's the problem! Paradoxically, creative industries have not been so prosperous in terms of turnover, but creators, who are the core of these industries, have never received so little. We need to rebalance this distortion effect.

The world is looking at Europe today. Creators all over the planet are looking here today - and the directive that will be adopted will hopefully create a domino effect.

Very seriously, we insist on the idea that we, the creators, would be against technology and against freedom of expression. It's totally outrageous! Creators are always the ones who imagine the future and are using the techniques of their present to be creators of modernity - I myself are a very good example in this respect. And what is even more unacceptable is that being a partisan of the idea of respecting intellectual property would be an attempt at freedom of expression, a form of censorship. It's just the opposite: not giving the creators the minimum means to express themselves is the supreme form of censorship!

If we talk about freedom, do we want to become "digitally colonized" in Europe? Europe has an obligation not to lose the battle for content - this tremendous creativity that is essential to our continent's DNA. A future for the digital world will only exist if there is a future for creators. And how can one imagine that paying creators is a form of censorship?

The problem comes from the fact that we rely on old laws dating from before the Internet. To create the tomorrow's heritage, give us the means to sit at the negotiating table. The more European and worldwide creators will receive a fair share of the distribution of their works, the more we will all contribute to manufacturing them. For, let's not forget, in a smartphone, the smart side is us, the creators."

I personally am not too happy about it. Especially article 11, the "link tax".

It's "a new copyright rule for linking to news organizations and quoting text from their stories. Online platforms will have to pay for a license to link out to news publishers, and this will theoretically help support organizations that are vital for public information and drive users to their homepages.

That all sounds decent in principle, but Article 11 doesn’t bother to even define what constitutes a link. Details will be left to the 28 individual countries in the EU to figure that out. That opens the door for political abuse of how news is spread in each country, and it will likely have the opposite of its intended effect."

In other words: corporations might ask money because we're posting links here.

Basically, the problems with both laws are that they are so non-specific, that big corporations can easily exploit them. And they will.

And it will be the end of memes and reaction gifs.

Digital royalties to creators top €1 billion as global collections rise 6.2% to €9.6 billion

CISAC President, electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre said: “CISAC is at the heart of a battle for the future of over 4 million creators worldwide. I am passionately involved in this struggle. Europe has now recognised that it is time for change: it is not acceptable for the law to shield large tech monopolies and sustain a systemic injustice for creators. There is now a message to get to the rest of the world: it is time for other governments to sit up and follow”.

Very happy to support World Health Organization (WHO) in their #MakeListeningSafeInitiative, the vision that all people across the world enjoy music without putting their hearing at risk. The team developed a standard of implementation in smartphones and other audio systems for #safelistening. As a musician I would be nothing without my hearing, as a fan I need your ears to be able to listen. Let's stay protected together and support this great initiative!

NEWS RELEASES

20 MARCH 2019

Creators around the world ask for the adoption of the EU Copyright Directive

The following is a letter addressed on March 20th, 2019 to Members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Council.

As creators from all corners of the globe, we ask you to adopt the EU copyright directive and thus lay the foundation of a fairer environment for millions of creators worldwide.

For years, artists have been struggling to obtain fair remuneration for the use of their works online. While major digital platforms have hugely benefitted, the creators of these works have been the last party to share in their commercial success. The new Directive is an important step towards correcting this imbalance and bringing fairness to the internet.

The current text of the Directive lays down essential principles that will help creators of all repertoires achieve fairer remuneration for their works in the digital market.

For the first time, it would clarify that commercial user upload platforms that make use of musical, visual, audiovisual, literary and other works are subject to copyright laws and need to be licensed by the creators of those works.

The Directive also establishes an important principle recognising the right of creators to an appropriate and proportionate remuneration for the exploitation of their works.

The last three years of debate leading to this legislation have been watched closely by creators, creative industries and governments throughout the world. The European Union has shown leadership and has produced a legislative framework which would help the current and the next generation of artists in Europe and beyond. It sets a positive example for governments worldwide.

We are grateful to European policy makers for the time, energy and effort put into this legislation. The result is a Directive that creators in Europe and abroad can support and which we believe appropriately balances the interests of all parties.

We ask you to seize this opportunity and adopt the Copyright Directive without delay.
