The grand opening of the EXGAE, the first legal advice service 
specialised in the liberation of all citizens and creators from the 
abuses of of societies of authors and composers (like SGAE in Spain) and 
other trade groups of the cultural industry.

The EXGAE opens with the notion of channelling the popular and justified 
hostility towards of the official Societies of Authors and Composers and 
other trade groups of the cultural industry like the SGAE, equipping 
people with artistic and legal skills to finally put an end to these 
entities.

The EXGAE fights, alongside the great majority of society, for 
alternative forms for the circulation of culture.
______________
Here is the Net, take it forth and multiply. As the slogan states, the 
Internet allows the horizontal exchange of information and culture 
between everyone.  Times have changed and finally there is equality 
between reproduction and its original.  Because of this, mediums of 
production need to adapt themselves to this new type of democracy and 
not the other way around.

But are you still paying the SOCIETIES OF AUTHORS? Now is the time to 
action this new movement: such bureaucratic organizations are obsolete 
and make it difficult to circulate knowledge freely, reinforcing the 
restrictive lobby of people instead of allowing society, as a whole, to 
benefit, as they claim.

Now, new ways of protecting and promoting creation exist.These are what 
need to be instigated.

As always, civil society is way ahead of law. Because of this, the EXGAE 
is a legal advice service for creators and those affected by the actions 
of the traditional societies of authors and composers and other trade 
groups of the cultural industry.
The EXGAE is focused on informing and assisting citizens, (every one of 
us pays into the canon!), and in particular, give legal advice to 
traders, creators, artists and producers alike.

24 bodies, including associations and individuals, are behind this 
initiative, which begins with the endorsement of almost 8000 people.
Before the opening, we have received already almost 200 emails for 
advise, form all Spain.
