SIAE's legalized theft from small-time authors<\/h1>\n

Direct experience of the author of the article<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
I am addressing all small authors and publishers who are still registered with SIAE to share the following experience.<\/div>\n
To this end, below is the text with which I submitted my complaint, their reply (barricaded and irrefutable) and my final comment (I had to use a new complaint ticket, as no rebuttal was provided).<\/div>\n

Enjoy the bitter fun.<\/p>\n

MY COMPLAINT<\/strong><\/h3>\n
Dear SIAE Italian Society of Authors and Publishers, I, Alessandro Fois, a member of SIAE for over 40 years and registered with your organisation under number 45671, hereby submits a formal complaint to your organisation, as I believe that I have not received a correct distribution of the royalties accrued as a composer, in the context of the settlement of royalties for the first half of 2019 (relating to income accrued in the first half of 2018).<\/div>\n
Particular reference is made to the 14 music programmes compiled during the concerts performed on the same number of days, as shown in the table below:<\/div>\n
RECIPIENT OF THE ENTERTAINMENT SERVICE Ferrari Group Event<\/div>\n
PREMISES AND LOCATION\u2019<\/div>\n
Hotel Mont Blanc \u2013 Strada Grand Ru 1 \u2013 11013 Courmayeur, Aosta<\/div>\n
EVENT DATES
\n14 days in total from 25 to 30 March 2018 (6 days) and from 3 to 10 April 2018 (8 days)<\/div>\n
ARTIST
\nMusical duo \u201cAm\u00e9lie & Alex\u201d<\/div>\n
PLEASE NOTE THAT
\nas will be evident from the analysis of the compiled and signed music programmes relating to the aforementioned 14 days of programming, the undersigned's songs were performed to a varying extent, corresponding on average to approximately 1\/3 of the entire programme, as will be evident from the relevant documents. On that occasion, the contractor paid this company SIAE a total amount of royalties equal to<\/div>\n
EUR 2,688.15*<\/div>\n
IT FOLLOWS THAT
\nthat the undersigned does not acknowledge having received any distribution of the rights pertaining to the aforementioned event and<\/div>\n
REQUESTS<\/div>\n
a review of the breakdown itself and the submission of the relevant report accompanied by all details specific clarifications on what happened<\/div>\n
I look forward to hearing from you.<\/div>\n
\n

Alessandro Fois<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

SIAE RESPONSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With reference to the above, we would like to inform you that the music programmes of the events reported were not included in the analytical distribution operations based on the provisions of the Distribution Ordinance, as these were private events. It should be noted, in any case, that music programmes relating to private entertainment (wherever organised: in public venues, private homes or open spaces, offered by private individuals to guests at weddings, ceremonies or celebrations in general, conferences, gatherings, company meetings, etc.; by private clubs with access restricted to members and, where applicable, family members; by managers of public venues to guests at venue openings, season openings, etc.) are not included in the analytical distribution, according to the criteria set out in the current Distribution Ordinance.<\/p>\n

N.B.<\/strong><\/p>\n
