According to The Times, the letter was sent with the knowledge of the Irish Preschool Play Association (IPPA), which represents many schools populated by around 50,000 kids between 3 and 5 years of age. The IPPA had worked out a deal with the Hollywood representatives, and eventually managed to get the royalties down to 3 euros per child. Despite the lowered fee, most kindergarten owners were stunned by the request. Paula Doran, who runs a playschool in Dublin, said that the kids hardly watch any DVDs at the kindergarten. “We would rarely show DVDs anyway because it’s frowned upon — kids get enough TV at home,” she said. In fact, the only time the kids are allowed to watch a DVD is when they are pretending to go to the cinema, a learning activity that Hollywood would fully endorse. Doran said she couldn’t understand how the MPLC could be acting legally, and refused to pay. It turned out that she was absolutely right not to pay. The MPLC actually failed to register with the Irish Patent Office, and by demanding payments in the way they have, breached the 2000 Copyright Act. A spokesman from the IPO confirmed that an organization that acts in this manner could be fined or have its staff jailed.

Das würde sich bei 2500 Kindergärten und 50.000 Kindergartenkindern im Land durchaus lohnen. Winziges Problem: Diese Forderung ist nicht rechtsgültig. In Irland. Weswegen sie auf drei Euro pro Kind gesenkt wurde. Paula Doran, Kindergartenbetreiber aus Dublin: “Wir zeigen äusserst selten irgendwelche DVD-Filme, weil die Leute da schlecht drüber denken; schliesslich kriegen die Kinder zuhause genug Fernsehen ab”. Und dass man maximal “ins Kino gehen” spielen würde. Was Hollywood ja eigentlich freuen sollte. Wenn die Kinder das lernen. Aber nein, die aktuellen Quartalsergebnisse gehen vor.
