Somrādio and Rādio Calviā News: What a nerve!

Somrādio and Rādio Calviā News: What a nerve!
Somràdio, the FM broadcast by the Grupo Serra subsidied by the Govern de les Illes Balears, and Ràdio Calvià, FM broadcast by the Ayuntamiento de Calvià, are set on reading textual blocks in their news programmes of news published on  BalearWeb.

According to declarations by Ramon Sellas, lawyer and director of BalearWeb, "some readers of the electronic publications we edit have notified us that different radio broadcasts on the island of Mallorca are reading textually the news that we publish.  Last week we started to check these statements, end exactly, Somràdio has read for an undetermined time, textually in its news programmes the news published on Internet by our organisation without making any reference to the source of the information.  On contacting the managers of the broadcast to denounce the facts, they assured us, on checking the truth of our complaint, that this would not happen again.  This week we have detected that Radiò Calvia is doing exactly the same as Somràdio, reading textually the news published without making any reference to the source. On contacting the Calvià Town Council, to denounce the facts, we have not obtained any reply. The managers and personnel of these broadcasts should remember that the intellectual property rights are protected not only by National and European Laws but also by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that textually in the article 27.2 says "Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author."
