Art without creators is not culture. Sign the petition.

We reported about it earlier. Globally, the Netherlands is Crazy when it comes to protecting the creators of books, films, journalism, art, drama, dance, and so on. And no, FOR ONCE IT IS NOT ABOUT SUBSIDY.

It is about an archaic legislation that protects middlemen but leaves the makers outlawed and disenfranchised. Those middlemen are paid extremely well, have fat collective agreements, lease cars, second mortgages and a mistress in the South of France. And all because they do NOTHING to the makers.

So time for a petition.

TEKENON!

Otherwise, everything stops.
