• ... that the Society of Authors, Composers and Music Publishers in Israel, a copyright collective with more than 10,000 members, held its first press conference 72 years after its founding? Source: "נתונים אלה ואחרים נמסרו אתמול (ג') במסיבת עיתונאים שהתקיימה לראשונה מטעמו של ארגון אקו"ם, שאחראי על שמירת זכויות היוצרים מתחומי המוזיקה והספרות" [These figures and others were given yesterday (Tuesday) at a press conference held for the first time under the auspices of ACUM, which is responsible for protecting the rights of artists in the fields of music and literature] (Globes)

• ALT1: ... that the Society of Authors, Composers and Music Publishers in Israel, which copyrights and collects royalties on behalf of its members' literary and musical works, does not charge for membership?Source: "Membership of ACUM confers copyright protection and collective arrangements authorising the use of works, collection of royalties for such use and legal advice. ... Members pay no membership dues." (Israel Arts Directory)

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The hooks are borderline in terms of interest, but otherwise acceptable. Catrìona (talk) 03:34, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

• @Catriona: thanks for the review. I agree that the hooks are "borderline interest", so the hook shouldn't be passed in this condition. I'll try to think of better hooks this weekend. Yoninah (talk) 08:57, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

• Here's another idea:
• ALT2: ... that the Israeli copyright collective ACUM collects royalties on music played on radio and internet as well as in government offices, tourist buses, and airplanes? Yoninah (talk) 09:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
• ALT3: ... that the Israeli copyright collective ACUM collects royalties on music wherever it is played, including government offices, tour buses, and airplanes? Yoninah (talk) 15:01, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

• Pinging reviewer Catriona. Yoninah (talk) 00:07, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: Personally, I am not sure that ALT3 is much of an improvement. Copyright agencies usually collect royalties on all plays/uses, or at least try to. Also, Catriona (no accent) is a different user. Catrìona (talk) 08:29, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

• ALT4: ... that in 2004, the Israel Antitrust Authority declared that a copyright collective for authors and musicians was essentially a monopoly? Yoninah (talk) 13:21, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

• Approving ALT4. Catrìona (talk) 04:14, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
