Sabam (copyright organization in Belgium) wants to charge day care institutions for listening to the radio, or music in general.
Leen Verbist, council for youth in Antwerp, didn’t like this decision and asked us to build a website where people can download copyright-free songs for children. 30 volunteers (young and a bit older) sang a bunch of songs. The professional recordings took place on June 23th at Trix in Antwerp.
We accepted this challenge without any fee, because we liked the idea behind it. Yes, we have feelings too!
We created www.liedjesvoorkinderen.be
We would like to spread this message and that’s why we need your help: Tweet it, Share it, Bookmark it, … Do it for the children, do it for the future, just do it. Thank you!
Recently we bought a new domain name at ONE.COM! Immediately they send us an email with a warning for domain fraude. This is what it said (in Dutch):
Beste,
Uw domein ~ wordt gehost bij One.com. Als uw webhosting provider voelen we ons verplicht u te informeren over de huidige poging tot fraude met betrekking tot het vernieuwen van domeinen.
Domain Renewal Group, Namejuice.com en Domain Registry Of America (DROA)
Wanneer u een melding heeft ontvangen met betrekking tot het verlopen van een .com, .net, .org, .info of .biz domein van één van de drie bedrijven die hierboven genoemd worden, negeert u dan die brief of e-mail. Uw domein ~ is veilig bij One.com. Het zal automatisch door ons vernieuwd worden en er is geen reden voor u om actie te ondernemen.
Today, we got a letter from the mailman:
This company is charging us for (recommended) 45 Euros. It looks professional, it looks like it’s real… but we know better! Hopefully we can prevent some fraude by posting this.
Kinepolis will give you a reward of 5 DVD’s when you can caught somebody filming a movie. You can warn the police by SMS. This might be more effective then the stupid not-skipable trailers on a DVD that tells you that ’stealing movies is a crime!’
