Belgian collecting society asks ISPs to compensate copyrights online
After our previous reports on British Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that received letters with requests to block file-sharing sites, now the Belgian collecting society SABAM calls upon Belgian ISP's to get actively involved to protect copyrights. However this time, the ISP’s have not been requested to block access to file sharing sites, but to pay a fee to SABAM, because they make copyright protected works available online. Each provider will receive an invoice for "communication to the public" of copyright protected works and SABAM wishes to collect these invoices on behalf of copyright holders.
