Ukraine-Russia war, from SIAE to stop payments to payments to Russian copyright companies. “We are experiencing moments of great concern and disquiet and the hope of being able to face the future with greater serenity after two years of pandemic seems to be really fading. Russia’s attack on Ukraine is unjustified and unjustifiable and puts the principles of freedom and freedom at risk. democracy in Europe after decades. As president of the Italian Society of Authors and Publishers I express all my closeness to the Ukrainian people and institutions in these dramatic hours “, declared Giulio Rapetti Mogol through a note.
“In recent days we have reflected on what Siae could have done as a sign of solidarity towards Ukraine – continues the president – and in the end we took the decision to suspend the payment of copyright to Russian authors’ companies, until at the end of the conflict, obviously accepting the more than probable suspension of the payment of copyrights to Siae by the sisters for retaliation “.
“We are aware that it is a strong and unprecedented action in Siae’s recent history. We want to underline however – Mogol specifies – that it is not a stance against the Russian authors and publishers, who have no responsibility for what is happening, but it is an action with which we want to express our opposition to any kind of warmoreover, in line with what the Italian government and the European Union are doing “.
