www.americanradiohistory.com BILLBOARD COIN MACHINE MUSIC WEEIK 26 OPERATING 'Top Gun' Machine Settles All Gottlieb Game German Op Cutting Fast Draw Battles -No Blood Features Pin 'GEMA -Free' Disks Tic -Tac -Toe Continued from page 4 Klingler's supporters rebut: 1. If GEMA is placed under effective competition from royalty -free records, the performing rights society obviously cannot demand the same fee for playing of only a partial list of GEMA titles in a box that it now gets for the playing of an entire GEMA- controlled repertory. 2. There is a lot of good music in the public domain (or at least outside the GEMA domain) and lots of musicians available to co- operate in the GEMA -free project. Their intent is not to replace GEMA music overnight but merely to provide increasingly effective competi- tion as a lever to force the reduction of GEMA's royalty license de- mands. 3. It is in the interest of composers and authors as much as operators to promote the financial health of the music field. Unreason- ably high fees which force operators out of business and damage the composers and authors as well. Pressure Seen Klingler's group believes that in time the GEMA -free project could generate terrific pressure on the copyright societies. His group obviously has in mind a link -up with the proposed ARTO organization being sponsored by Ariola and supported by other major West German diskeries. Ariola is trying to lure top composers and authors away from GEMA by offering them a better royalty deal on record sales (Ariola claims it is a better deal, but GEMA say it is not). Obviously, an operator -ARTO link -up would spell serious trouble for GEMA. Such a link -up would give the operators top talent and top technical facilities; conversely, it would give ARTO an enthusiastic market for its disks.
