Just When [Europe] Thought It Was Safe to Go Back In the Water

And just as the Brasilian collecting society satellite model starts to be talked about as a "desirable" option for Europe - with all its cross-border licensing conundrums (see previous post here) - trouble erupts in Brasil with Cory Doctorow on boingboing reporting of collecting societies in Brasil that "15 directors have been indicted for various types of fraud" and that Brasil's Senate is proposing a new law to revamp the collection system.  Is there any good news out there?
