recording industry lobby

How about the big record labels give some money to the actual creators and artists? All the "tax packages" will have impact on the record labels more than on the actual artists and their support staff (concert technicians, roadies, ets). I might consider supporting particular artists individually, and some of them have already stated that the money they earn from selling their stuff now will be distributed to their crews, which is a nice gesture. The EU regulations should not be focused on single category like this, but should cover all who are out of jobs (masseurs, small shops, services,etc)

I don't think it's appropriate to single out a single group to support, a lot of people are suffering. All who need help deserve support. Hub Abresch.

Royalties

I cannot support such a petition while authors are screaming that during the confinement that they will not give up their royalties by allowing readers to gain access to their books. I am an author and have not received a royal statement from Rutledge since my last book was published. 85% of these royalties go to the publisher! Stop blocking access to confined readers and I will sign your petition!

How about suspending royalties for the big guns like lets say "I can't get no satisfaction" or "love me do" etc. etc. etc. etc. and give this to the small acts, theaters, workers etc. I call this solidarity.

With all due respect and admiration for culture and its workers - why should there be a privileged category under a unique umbrella? Who supports the coffee shop owner? The barber? Almost any freelancer whose work can not be done at home?

What on earth is special about "culture workers"? Ah, OK, nobody seems to need them, want them, be willing to feed them - and that is fairly independent of "corona". Just get a JOB and don't leech on taxpayer's money!

You people are absolutely nuts! Millions of working people are losing jobs and you're concerned about sustainable subsidies and diversity for culture creators. Absolutely nuts!!

Medicine support

Better to suppurt mask manufacturers and medicine education

Do you want to create new tax? No, thanks. I support nuclear power and engineers.

Perhaps only 10% of what is presented as culture is worth being called culture. I suggest something else - on the fields the farmers are missing a lot of work force. What about working there? Minimum support should be given to all that need it.

investments in art should be fully deductable from income tax.

Build up pressure on the governments to allow private and institutional investors deducting investments in art (film, theatre, music, lyrics, etc.) from income tax. Enable investments in art productions, save the money spent on subsidies.

I like to support culture but there is to much multi cultural , pro LGBT anti European propaganda in art and I don't want to support that

No handouts for "creatives"

We have much more important problems than this. If the "creative" prople run out of money, they can always do some temp-work on a farm. That would be much more productive than whining and asking for handouts.

The Covid-19 panic and - above all - the illegal measures against us must be stopped. We all suffer because of this corona lie. Give us back our freedom.

Accounting

Only if I had a clearer understanding of European taxes and accounting (bookkeeping) could I support the initiative. But as things are right now... I don't think so.

Support Engineers and NUCLEAR POWER!!! LET THEM ALL BE HUNGER ARTISTS!!==IDIOTS

Universal income

I think this is an opportunity to push for deep structural reforms that support not just artists but other vulnerable social actors. “Universal income” seems a very promising and well thought measure.
