German Kindergartens Ordered To Pay Copyright For Songs 291

BBird writes "Deutsche Welle reports: 'Up until this year, preschools could teach and produce any kind of song they wanted. But now they have to pay for a license if they want children to sing certain songs. A tightening of copyright rules means kindergartens now have to pay fees to Germany's music licensing agency, GEMA, to use songs that they reproduce and perform. The organization has begun notifying creches and other daycare facilities that if they reproduce music to be sung or performed, they must pay for a license.'"

If your password is tacked up on your cubical wall, I hope your password is something like "Pick up milk & bread on the way home" or "Next meeting Tuesday nite at 8:30". Either of those would be better than "4ld92lod!!5" and are much easier to remember. I usually tell people that if they cannot remember their password, write it down and put it in their wallet or purse, but if you have to have it visible in your office, use a common-looking phrase.
