The Kulturflatrate is a angedachte overall delivery on broadband Internet connections, which copyright remuneration for digital copies overall to pay off is.

For a monthly fee in response music and other digital contents are to be able to be downloaded legally from the Internet. Developed this beginning due to of criticism at momentarily usual DRM practice and associated obligation control of the users.

The principle of the private copy and the associated general delivery functions in Germany according to a similar principle already for the 1960er years: Like that is on empty cartridges and - CDs to carry out as well as on the appropriate recorders a determined delivery.

The sum of all amounts of the overall delivery is then distributed fairly to the artists. Basis of the distribution participates, how often the respective work is used. This could be seized approach over Downloadzahlen or the observation of a sample of the population. It is expected that by this simpler and more detailed collection one, in the comparison to the current data acquisition by the Gema, is made possible more accurate and thus fairer distribution. In order to arrange the system fairer also for the other side, the users, a progressive rate of the contribution is planned depending upon speed of on-line entrance and kind of the account (Zeittarif/Volumentarif/Flatrate).

Criticism

Main point of criticism at this model is to be paid the obligation of all users of broadband entrances this delivery, even if they do not want to refer protected contents. Dissenting votes argue that the GEZ raises the introduction of a broadcast fee for internet PC starting from that 1.1.2007. Thus all owners Internetable PC are obligated to pay the GEZ fees although not all use attached PC the offer of the public broadcasting corporations at the Internet. In addition it comes that a GEMA fee is raised with the purchase from empty media such as CDs, even if the empty media their no rights of reproduction when using composer, musicians and publishers affects.

A further aspect is the large administration expense, which would be necessary, in order to distribute the overall deliveries to the artists. So that a to some extent fair distribution would be possible, a very large quantity of Downloads would have to be counted by songs, in order to then distribute proportionately the money to the artists, which is carried out to a large extent however by services such as BigChampagne already today. Since with the GEMA an institution with necessary logistics is present, it could e.g. pass the fee on, which results by a Kulturflatrate, to the artists, musician and publisher.

The moreover one it is criticized by critics that the term private copy in the context Kulturflatrate is misleadingly used. Not the copy in the private surrounding field is located in the center, but the exact opposite, the massive duplication in the public area. To that extent the term private copy with caution must used respectively on the public, non-commercial spreading between private people be expanded. Could be escaped to this problem however, as a clear term is found and spread in place of private copy.
