"Our cultural diversity is threatened"
"This situation implies a double economic penalty", launch the signatories. "With the disappearance of the important channel for the dissemination of their works, which is concerts, they suffer an instant loss of income. For artists, creators and publishers remunerated by copyright, this loss of income is part of in the time".
"Because all of our creators and our musicians are weakened, it is ultimately our cultural diversity itself that is threatened," they continue. "Each destabilized talent, each young hope who can no longer get started, is a risk of concrete and lasting impoverishment for our musical landscape. It is urgent that we give, to all those who dream, the means to continue to live".
