Modern Talking reminds me of the Chart Hits that used to occur in July/August when all the Brits came back from Holiday in the Mediterranean and bought the records they'd heard on Holiday, Groups/Singers that you'd never heard of would be selling loads of records, and it was all "Europop" .... you German guys might not be familiar with Stock,Aitken & Waterman but they did a similar thing, they had a 'certain sound' that sold records and they made all their records like it, they were the people that made Kylie Minogue famous (probably not something to be too proud of
 ) ....anyone remember Sabrina singing some song called Summertime Love (Boys), this is the type of record that fits the "one-off Europop hit" tag perfectly ....she was hot stuff though !

Once they told a woman who used classical music to calm her horses that she must pay a licence fee ! , a car mechanic who worked alone was told to buy a £150 public licence fee to play music on his radio. So it seems that small-minded bureaucrats are alive and thriving in most countries ! |

yes it is the same company and you have it in the most countries. I am not sure if it is maybe a european thing and exist in every european country.
In germany there was a dispute between google(Youtube) and the GEMA. The Gema wants 6,5 cent per using a saved video on youtube. Youtube wouldn´t pay so much and the GEMA demand youtube to block these videos. Google/youtube sue against this call from the GEMA. A few weeks ago there was a judgement by a german court that the GEMA was right. Now both sides will come back to one table and negotiate about what youtube have to pay. until the find a solution many videos are blocked for german IP´s. |
