GEMA is so bizarre. If you're a musician and composer and want to do a live concert that consists only of songs written by you and there is an entrence fee, you'll basically have to give them all of said fee or even more. They are destroying any culture really, only to give the money to some of the most successful musicians. And that even if you yourself are not part of GEMA, so don't get ANYTHING in return.
