I am deeply troubled by the legal and ethical implications of how Revibed has been allegedly operating under its contract with SABAM. As an artist whose work is at stake, it is disheartening to see what appears to be a widespread practice of illegally reissuing records without proper authorization. This not only undermines the hard work and dedication of artists like myself but also jeopardizes the integrity of the music industry.

SABAM, as a revered music rights organisation, has a duty to protect the interests of artists and creators. However, the current contract with Revibed, who seems to be exploiting legal loopholes, has cast doubt on their commitment. A reevaluation of this contract is not just important—it is essential to restore trust and ensure that artists' rights are safeguarded.

The practice of illegally reissuing records violates the foundational tenets of copyright laws, leading to financial and reputational damage to countless artists. According to industry reports, approximately 30% of revenues from unauthorized releases never reach the original creators, creating a shadow economy that benefits the few at the expense of many talented artists.

We urge SABAM to act swiftly and decisively by initiating a comprehensive review of their terms with Revibed. This review should focus on tightening the clauses that are currently being exploited, conducting thorough audits of Revibed's activities, and implementing stricter compliance measures.

By supporting this petition, we can help safeguard the rights and livelihoods of artists everywhere. Let us stand together to protect artistic integrity and ensure that everyone in the music industry is treated fairly and equitably. Sign this petition to demand immediate action from SABAM.
