[edit] Music fandom in Croatia
Music fandom inside Croatia has had some issues as a result of government laws regarding music piracy:
- If you’re interested in a local example of how such a model can go totally wrong, read on. In Croatia, a non-government organization (ZAMP) has been appointed by the government to collect a fee similar to the one described above, only not from ISPs, but from everyone that sells any sort of media on which music can be recorded - CDs, flash disks, memory cards - everything. However, this fee, which has been imposed on everyone that sells these, and therefore to all people that buy them, does not mean that you can freely copy music CDs or DVDs - it’s still considered piracy. Now, you have a bizarre situation in which all people in a country must pay a fee which assumes they’re all criminals, getting absolutely nothing in return, and you have a non-transparent group representing only one industry (musicians) collecting the money, dividing it as they see fit. Go figure. [4]
