Some may continue to run pirated programming, but much will depend on the government's ability to enforce copyright law. No one yet knows if enforcement will take place in any systematic or large-scale way. In theory stations will be monitored, but in practice no money exists for a systematic search for video pirates. Some monitoring of broadcasts will likely take place, but this is mostly driven by advertiser demands. Monitoring methods include hiring pensioners to watch local TV and record the real broadcasting schedule, then compare it to what is advertised in newspaper listings.
Discrepancies indicate probable pirating.
To many stations this seems to be an outrageously high fee, especially as there is no real guarantee that the money will actually be transferred to the author of the material. The RAO has said that it will pay any author that asks, but doesn't seem to have set up any system to insure that authors will be paid if material is used without their knowledge. However, stations have tried to sign contracts based on a percentage of their profits from advertising rather than all commercial activities of the company.
