The threat posed to Germany‘s underground club scene by all-around IP thug GEMA is no longer just a threat. Back in July, GEMA decided to „streamline“ its convoluted fee structure. Naturally, it decided to smooth things over in a upward motion, raising the fees charged to these clubs by up to 1,400%. This sparked protests against GEMA‘s tactics and a petition with 60,000 signatures was brought to the Deutsches Bundestag (Germany‘s parliament).
