Broadcasting Bill 2008 [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil]: Report and Final Stages
6:00 pm
Joe O'Toole (Independent)
I realise I am in breach of the rules but this will save us going through the matter again. Is the Minister saying for definite that the copyright people will be paid in a different way and that they will have sold their rights in some way, shape or form? Let us consider the position of a producer, director or owner of a film which happened to be broadcast in Ireland through a free broadcasting service. If the film is transmitted through the encrypted channel and people are paying for the service, then some of the money will flow back to the original people. Is this correct?
