Funny they did not write exemptions into this law. It seems heavy handed.

did not look it up yet from the german side but I think it looks quite disgusting...after all kindergardens are helping to develop interest into music into the kids in the first place so to charge the ones who bring them future customers is idiotic IMO. It appears to me that they are pretty bitter from the losses they undoubtedly do in the days of the internet...but I think that the kindergarden is simply the wrong place to focus on considering the songs they sing in there...knowing the ones who are working in the kindergarden in my village (management as well as 4 of their staff went to school with me) I wouldn't be surprised if they just create their own songs to show them to efff off...they certainly would have the skills to do so

Why would a preschool or kindergarten need to make that many copies of lyrics? Since at that age the children can't read.
