New "TV licence" court fight in South Africa

The Federated Hospitality Assocation of Southern Africa (Fedhasa) has taken the South African Music Rights Organisation (Samro) to court over a new fee for in-room TVs in accommodation establishments.

Fedhasa national chairperson Rosemary Anderson said the fee was separate from the long-standing common area annual fee that hotels and guesthouses have been paying Samro for over 30 years.

Who the f**k listens to music on tv in hotels?

Isn't Samro the same organisation that has been screwing many artists for years by not paying over royalties?

 

[Thugscub]

SAMRO are thieves.

I remember a time eTV played midnight till dawn music videos instead of soft porn. Music on TV died with good old MTV.

By now the TV manufacturers can do us a big favour and dump tuners
