Quelli attuali furono determinati al rialzo, non con poche polemiche, dall’allora Ministro alla Cultura Dario Franceschini. E ora che il “Comitato Consultivo Permanente per il diritto d’autore”, recentemente va- rato dallo scorso Governo, sta arrivando a formulare le proposte per le nuove tariffe (periodicamente vengono riviste a seconda delle mutate condizioni di mercato), al dicastero della Cultura, c’è ancora Dario Franceschini. Con - ci immaginiamo - soddisfazione di SIAE e degli aventi diritto: l’ultima volta, con un decreto lanciato di venerdì sera, durante la partita dell’Italia ai Mondiali (e cioè nel momento di maggior distrazione di tutta la “La Copia Privata è il compenso che si applica dispositivo che si utilizza e che, anche dalla normativa, nazione), i compensi furono pesantemente aumentati, sui supporti vergini, apparecchi di registrazione non è considerata copia ma semplicemente una me- portando a un raddoppio secco della raccolta. e memorie in cambio della possibilità di effet- morizzazione tecnica temporanea.

  • UK Video Games Heterogeneous Not Homogeneous
    ©iStockphoto.com/waxwaxwax UK video games Heterogeneous not homogeneous February 2019 Published by Edison Investment Research UK video games Heterogeneous not homogeneous Technology 26 February 2019 Over the past two to three years, we have seen the re-emergence of a listed small- and mid-cap games sector in the UK and Europe, with a wave of IPOs supported by a period of sustained outperformance of the industry UK and European companies majors against a backdrop of healthy equity markets. The more recent mentioned in this report reversal of performance of the sector has been equally dramatic and CD Projekt (CDR.WA) largely indiscriminate. Mixed trading results from the industry majors reflect, in our view, the re-basement of expectations from unrealistic highs, Codemasters (CDM.LN) as well as disruption from digital distribution and recurring monetisation EVR Holdings (EVRH.LN) models. The small-cap games sector mainly comprises companies with Frontier Developments (FDEV.LN) business models designed to exploit this new model, and trading for the Game Digital* (GMD.LN) most part has been robust. The dynamic nature of the market will continue Gfinity (GFIN.LN) to create disruption, offering opportunities and risks, but we believe the Immotion Group (IMMO.LN) small-cap European sector now offers exposure to a number of well-run, Keywords Studios* (KWS.LN) innovative businesses and good execution will generate significant value.
