I think you have a good point here BUT perhaps there might be an
interpretation that FIXATION places the recording in copyright -- not
publication -- and that means that (at least in the EC) ALL recordings
have their clock started at fixation, not publication.  THAT would be a
real kick in the pants!

Another question -- this hasn't passed yet, has it?  I thought it was
the proposal that has to be approved one by one by the member countries
and not go into effect until they all pass it.  Or did I miss something?
