Dutch RIAA will charge bloggers for Youtube clips embedding

[closer]

The BUMA/STEMRA, which is the Dutch equivalent for the US RIAA, will charge Dutch bloggers for embedding Youtube music clips.

Bloggers will have the choice of removing all Youtube clips OR pay ?130 (= $190 approx) for every 6 Youtube music clips.

BUMA/STEMRA will make no difference if the blog is commercial or non-commercial in nature....

Buma/Stemra is a great organization for musicians, they help protect the artist works.
If we had an organization like that it could be good.

The Dutch Government will tolerate almost anything if they can tax it....
They (Dutch Tax office) just found a 900 Billion(!) fraude in the Dutch antilles Islands too, of which 22 Billion was with Dutch people. I wonder where the rest of the info on the rest will end up...
