Songwriters Guild Boss Claims Songwriters Can't Write Without Copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week, we wrote about a rather level-headed and quite interesting FT
| opinion piece written by The Pirate Party's Christian Engstrom, who now
| represents the Swedish Pirate Party in the European Parliament. While the
| entertainment industry has tried to paint the Pirate Party as a bunch of
| thieves who just want stuff for free, Engstrom's piece was quite sensible in
| explaining the real thinking behind the party: a focus on individual rights
| and worries about privacy invasion. Of course, the usual copyright supporters
| couldn't let such thinking go unchallenged...

Musicians: Keep the Web neutral

| Some said they do not want to pay. The Web, they said, has allowed
| many unknown musicians to put their music online, giving fans
| instant access to new music and giving bands greater marketing
| capabilities.
|
| They said independent record labels are also on an equal Web
| footing with major players like Apple Inc.'s iTunes.
