IP Dept urges copyright owners to spare SMEs
The intellectual Propert Depart-ment in Thailand has called for copyright holders and copyright-fee collectors to exempt small and medium-sized businesses from paying fees for playing music to customers and to send warning letters before taking legal action. After meeting with 19 copyright owners and 29 fee collectors last week, Nuntawan Sakuntanaga, director-general of the department, said on 11 July that it would try to find a fair outcome to ensure satisfaction for everyone concerned.
